Do traditional language classes still have a future in the age of artificial intelligence?

ChatGPT translates in a second, corrects grammar without complaining, and never sleeps. So why keep sending your child to learn German or English at language camp instead of just installing an app? Because a language isn't just about understanding words, it's about making friends, playing a board game without looking at your phone, and existing in a group.

Language camp and maturity: what the science says, and what we observe at friLingue.

You send your child to a language camp so they come back with a better level of German or English. And it works. But what many parents don't see coming is everything else: the more confident look on their face, that new way of handling a disagreement, the ability to adapt that simply wasn't there before. A language camp isn't just a linguistic accelerator. It's also, and perhaps above all, a mini school of life.
