[H1] Our Inspiration

Learning a second language offers a lifetime of opportunities and therefore it is essential that if a child is to embrace languages, any language experience becomes an enjoyable part of their life. Our lunchtime and after-school language clubs encourage children to become confident and enthusiastic language learners who, in time, will have their talents recognised and provide them with a skill for life.

[H2] Why learn another language?

[IMG: Icon heart]

[H3] Enhance life skills
Speaking another language opens the door to new possibilities and opportunities. It encourages people to travel and lifelong friendships are built with the people you meet along the way if you're able to communicate easily.

[IMG: Icon heart]

[IMG: Icon resources]

[H3] Boost other learning
Research has found that pupils who study foreign languages tend to score better at standardised tests than their monolingual peers. This has been particularly noticeable in maths, reading, and vocabulary.

[IMG: Icon heart]

[H3] Develop confidence & self-esteem
Learning a second language is incredibly rewarding and can enrich personal life too. We encourage children to use language in real life situations, which in turn will enable them to overcome fears and doubts, leaving them feeling much more confident.

[H1] Reviews
[H2] Here's what other parents think about our classes
"Ariana looks forward to her lessons and always comes back full of Spanish words and enthusiasm. Not only is she learning the language but also the very rich culture as well"
"The French lessons are fantastic, well-structured and dynamic. My 9-year-old son enjoys the lessons and was even asking during the summer break when he will be back to French. We have French speaking friends & he is happy to speak a little bit with them. Without any doubt I recommend these lessons for any child that wants to learn in a relaxed & nice environment"
"I just wanted to say how much E. loves French. She is always asking ‘Is it French tomorrow?’! She’s never shown that kind of enthusiasm for extracurricular stuff, so it is really nice to see. She likes to use French at home too"

[H2] Reception & Primary
[H3] For 4-11 years
From research and experience we've found that children starting their language learning at age 4 or 5 are more successful than children starting at 8 or 9, and those starting at 8 or 9 are more successful than children waiting until secondary school before they start learning a language. At this young age they are very receptive to new sounds, less inhibited and quickly become confident. Extra knowledge a child takes in can develop an increase in self-esteem and a better understanding of the world around them. Our award-winning programme contains lots of stories, action chants, songs and games so that the children learn the language just like young French and Spanish children do. Available to learn in either French or Spanish, children progress through the four programmes over a six-year period. Topics are based on real life situations suited to the interest, experience and social development of each age group.

[H2] Pre-School & Nursery

[H3] Classes for 3-4 Years
Research has highlighted the benefits of learning languages from an early age and that learning a foreign language is much easier BEFORE the age of six or seven. Learning a foreign language is fun, revolving around games, songs and rhymes, without any pressure. The more fun it is, the more children will acquire without realising. Early language learning can reinforce literacy skills and nurture enthusiasm. Language development is at its most rapid at this age group. Young children learn a second language in the same way they learn English, they listen and then they copy. With La Jolie Ronde's Pre-School and Nursery Programme the emphasis is on familiarity, repetition and having fun! Children learn through everyday topics that they are familiar with such as All about me, growing up, the zoo, the farm, the supermarket, my birthday, etc.

[H3] Programmes & Classes
We offer:
A unique programme developed specifically for this young age group based around 2 lovely fun characters: Matou and Tounette (French Programme) and Milo and Mapi (Spanish Programme)
An opportunity to have fun whilst learning through fun songs, puppets, finger rhymes, games and crafts such as mask and puppet making
A structured and progressive programme that children benefit from and which in turn enhances other learning
Small classes and short sessions thus enabling your child to learn with children of his/her own age
Carefully selected and trained tutors so your child starts learning from the very first day
High quality colourful activity book and CD to assist your child’s learning at home
Rewards for special achievements
A good grounding for future language learning

[H2] Baby & Toddler

[H3] Sessions for 0-3 Years
Exposing your baby/toddler to another language as early as possible will enable them to be better equipped with the necessary perceptual skills for learning and for speaking it with a new perfect accent! Our Baby and Toddler Session provides all of the above. It is more beneficial than just using multimedia language learning resources with a small child because "human interaction has been found to be crucial for language development in small children" says leading language expert Patricia Kuhl. Activities used within the sessions engage all the senses & promote skills needed for other areas of learning. Studies show that children learning another language perform better at literacy and numeracy for example than those who haven’t been exposed to another language. La Jolie Ronde classes offer all the benefits of other early learning classes such as music groups, sing and sign activities and other sensory classes, but with the additional benefit of providing a child with a "skill for life” thus equipping them for an increasingly global and competitive world.

[H3] Programmes & Sessions
Our Baby and Toddler Programme is available in French and Spanish and has been designed for use with parents and babies or children aged up to 3 years. La Jolie Ronde offers authentic sounds of the French/Spanish language. The sessions are a mix of fun, interactive language-based activities, designed for babies and toddlers aged 0-3 years. The sessions are about exposing toddlers to the language through exploration and play. Babies and Toddlers will learn via a combination of sounds and activities delivered through action songs, rhymes, stories, role play and fun craft activities. Sessions are delivered in a friendly, safe and caring environment. The programme concentrates on concepts the toddler is already familiar with in everyday life, covering 14 topics. Therefore he or she is not learning a new concept with a new language but a new language while doing or talking about something they know. Our teddy bear, Bonbon or Caramelo, will play an integral part in the programme!
