WHAT LEX DOES

LEX America offers language learning programs, international exchange programs, a series of lectures on language acquisition, and educational materials.

Language Clubs

LEX Language Clubs are immersion-style multilingual language learning clubs for families and individuals of all ages. The clubs offer an informal, supportive, no-pressure environment for acquiring and maintaining languages through a variety of activities including games, music, listening to LEX Language CDs, and conversation. Each club has a facilitator; however, there are no teachers, drills, homework, or tests. There are currently LEX Language Clubs in Japan, Korea, Mexico, and the United States. In the U.S., all of the language clubs are held in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For more information about LEX Language Clubs, click here: Language Clubs.

International Exchange Programs

Through its offices in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Mexico, and the United States, as well as partnerships with organizations in other countries, LEX offers exchange programs in more than 25 countries for youth, adults, and families. Participants have the opportunity to experience life with a local family by doing a homestay as part of the exchange program.
