The presentation about France was highly engaging and educational. Participants learned a lot of important historical, geographical and other facts in a fun, playful way. It was a perfect balance between historical facts and fun, age appropriate information. Also, the interactive nature of the presentation kept everyone engaged. As a French teacher myself, I recognized a lot of value in this approach. Bien joué, Touralingo!

This was a beautifully crafted presentation - it was very good because it engaged the audience so well ! Lots of traffic in the chat!

The Touralingo Tour de France program was excellent. The presenters were enthusiastic and made the program fun and engaging for kids to learn about France and the French language. The facilitator was amazing! Such a sense of humour and so good at connecting with the kids, despite being over Zoom

My son loves visiting France from home. After the virtual tour he’s always bursting with new facts and stories. He loves the games and wants to visit Parc Astérix and ride the roller coasters. As a parent, I love being able to focus on working from home while sneaking in a French lesson for my kid. I will definitely be signing him up again!

Hello from Canada! The idea for Touralingo can be traced back to our son. He really struggled when learning to speak a new language at school. His class size was so big it bordered on unmanageable and he simply wasn’t getting the support that he needed for success. Some days he really wanted to give up. We started searching for a service that promotes language learning in a fun and motivational way. Although we found a surplus of traditional tutoring companies and summer variety camps, we didn’t find any offerings that both contextualized the importance of language learning while developing language skills. The seed for Touralingo was sown.
Touralingo's approach is rooted in over 10 years of experience designing and implementing engaging experiential children’s programming. As leaders with Scouts Canada we’ve honed our skills to inspire kids to challenge themselves both in the backcountry and through online learning. We’ve incorporated all of this magic into what Touralingo offers your child today: An immersive opportunity to enhance their language skills while exploring destinations of their dreams!
Today, we work with a fantastic team of experienced educators and curious kiddos who appreciate that languages are the gateway to endless opportunities and a world of exploration. My son’s confidence in speaking french now shines through. Everyday he counts down the days until we can again travel to far away places and he can show us around!
