Fluency Family didn’t just start as a cute name.
But as a revolt.
A revolt against foreign language programs that dangle “fluent” in front of their learners…
“If only you…
“…increase your streak!”
“…memorize more vocabulary words!”
“…conjugate more verbs!”
What a flat-out delusion!
You’re left translating in your head and anxiously running grammar rules through your mind.
You never get to this imaginary finish line of “fluent.”
That’s why at TalkBox.Mom, we never cared about “fluent” and pleasing academics.
Rather, we outpaced academics as we focused on fluency—the ability to easily and accurately speak a language…
By copying the most successful language teachers in the world: moms.
(You know the people “mother tongue” is named after because we’ve taught generations to speak at a native level before our kids ever went to grammar school.)
At TalkBox.Mom, we give you one promise: you’ll start talking in a foreign language with your family the exact same day you start—
Using the same approach moms use to teach their own kids to speak.
And we’ve delivered on this promise for eight years…
By placing your family on the path of fluency to start your journey.
Because speaking a language is not a destination…
But a journey.
It was then…
On that path of fluency…
That our families experienced a shared phenomenon.
A transformational moment where suddenly the foreign language fell out of their mouth—easily and accurately.
No translating.
They realized their dreams of truly speaking another language were coming true and felt a transformational shift.
What was this?
They had become a Fluency Family.
As they moved further down the path of fluency, they realized they could say things they never learned to say…
They could hear if something sounded off grammatically as they spoke and fix it…
And they were building friendships with other families and people who speak the language!
All the same thing you do with your first language.
No longer are they chasing after vocabulary words and grammar rules to possibly cross an imaginary finish line.
No, they’re above this.
They’re straight-up using vocabulary words in grammatically correct sentences.
Gone too are the days of clicking buttons to identify words, putting sentences in order, or paying to keep a streak.
Why?
Because we aren’t isolating ourselves to play in an app.
We’re using the language with our families—making eye contact, connections, and memories.
You know, the way a language is intended to be used: for communication.
Are you ready to become a Fluency Family?
As you look back on what you’ve done as a family…
All the places you’ve added another language in your life…
All the people you’ve interacted with in their community and as you travel..
And all the opportunities that you’ve opened up for your family…
You’ll think, “Wow, we did this together as a family— as a Fluency Family.”
Talk Easily. Live Boldly.
Become a Fluency Family!
