Learning French for Kids

Language play. Language learning

We believe that play is a state of mind that promotes imagination. Children learn best when they play. We create an environment free from judgement and limiting beliefs about fixed ability where learners feel confident to express themselves using new a language and discover themselves. The programme is designed to immerse the learners’ experiences based on play, collaboration, interdisciplinary task-based activities. Learner will be actively engaged in intellectual inquiry and creative design.

Your child is interested in languages? Why not French! Children will learn French through series of task-based activities. Starting French at young age will make it easier to master. It will help learners go beyond the benefits of learning to communicate in a new language and even lifelong cognitive rewards. 

Format

This programme consists of 7 sessions. Each session is 2 hours, conducted once per week. Each day, children will learn a topic. Games, songs, creative arts and task-based activities will guide them through the journey to learning French.
