All About Learning French

[VooVoo]

Go Alliance Francaise...I think they have lessons for kids, starting from 5 year old...


I personally attended the weekend adult class for fun to learn Elementary French :lol:

Hello,


Just want to share the information about French lessons for children. Maybe you can contact Sabrina Tay at Galilee School of Language & Learning. I’ve heard that they teach children also. Will PM you for details, whether you want to know more about them and hope it help…

I’m trying to teach my 4 year old French. anyone knows where to get french books for children?

[lovecitylondon]

I engaged a private french tutor for my 2 years old. She’s a native speaker whom I got to know through some tuition agency. She teaches conversational french, mostly through play and interactive activities, since he is just a toddler.


I heard Alliance Francaise started courses for young children, from 3 years old onwards. Perhaps you can check there too.

As for books, CDs, DVDs, etc, we got from Amazon and Barnes&Noble.

Thinking of letting my child (P3 next yr) attending some french lang appreciation classes during Dec hols…


Any idea if there are such hols classes??? those 1 week type?

:? Pai seh, just out of curiousity, 1 week language class got use meh?


I also have the FLINTING thought of getting mine to pick up foreign language but learning language is a long time commitment and also require the right environment to allow verbal practice. So for now, still a flinting thought for me ...

just to see see look look n feel the french culture… not really picking up the lang per se…


agree that 3rd lang is a long term commitment… i am just testing water to see if my child is keen in languages n foreign culture…

How about this alternative ... go France for holiday best way to appreciate culture ! Go Lourve - may discover fine arts appreciation and perhaps go on a Dan Brown trial which may inspire kid to read and be a writer as well? :love:

I doubt a kid could tell it out of a few days or months. To appreciate a culture thru the native language assumes mastery of the language.
