When Kit Strauss couldn\u2019t find educational materials that she felt would help her children learn a second language, the suburban Maryland mom-and lawyer-turned-entrepreneur created better products herself. And she got her children involved \u2013 with the aim of appealing to students as well as their parents.
\u201cKids like watching other kids,\u201d says Kit, and \u201cmy children and their friends were my guide as what was fun and humorous and what kids would enjoy as we created the videos and games.\u201d
The result has been a successful, award-winning language learning program called \u201cForeign Languages for Kids by Kids\u201d (FLK).
