The Importance of Learning a Second Language:

Learning a second language at a young age is an effective way to greatly advance the development of all children. Research has shown that by the age six the human brain has achieved almost all of its sigificant growth. Learning a second language at a young age helps to develop the child's brain pathways in the auditorioum cortex, stimulating general intelligence.

Recent research shows that the brains of multi-lingual people utilize more available neurons for language processing than monolinguals which naturally expands brain activity as a whole. Spanish is spoken by more than 400 million people worldwide, which is sufficient reason to learn the language.

Our Location:
MASI is located in Oak Park, a suburb bordering the west side of the city of Chicago, llinois. Oak Park has easy access to downtown Chicago (the Chicago Loop) through public transportation such as the Chicago 'L' Blue and Green lines, CTA buses, and Metra commuter rail.
