Some tips to get the most from your Classes

Try and forget your inhibitions
Remember everyone is learning together. Parents are NOT expected to have a certain level of the target language. The Direct Method means your total immersion in the Language, we try to create an atmosphere where you are in ‘Paris’, ‘Berlin’, ‘Barcelona or The Gaeltacht. The more time that your child spends hearing the language, the more engaged they become. Follow your child’s lead

Children often surprise us with their learning abilities. Observe your child during your class. Which learning activity does she enjoy most? What catches her attention? And which activity keeps her attention for the longest? These observations can help you to understand and appreciate your child’s ability to learn a new language. Get Involved!

Learning a new language is a wonderful gift you can give your child. You are your child’s first and most important play partner and teacher. Roll up your sleeves, get messy, get involved, explore, create, sing (off key!) to your hearts content……………………..but most of all, have fun together!!
