Interest/Skills |
Lango Leaders will bring various strengths, skills and experiences. Not all Lango Leaders need speak a second language. However, all Lango Leaders should offer a passion for teaching
Foreign Language for Kids, as well as a willingness to tell everyone they know about this passion. Lango Leaders should also be well-connected in their communities, interested in running a small business from home, and great at communicating with kids and adults. Ideally, Lango Leaders are also fluent in Spanish, French or Mandarin and crazy about teaching kids themselves, but speaking a second language is not required. |
