"Every child is different and has personal learning needs. We make sure that our young students feel comfortable from the beginning. Only in a playful and fun environment, they will be able to learn. In our classes your child will not just learn words through flash cards and a translation method; or just sing songs whose meaning he/she may not even understand... They will progress in a natural and action-based language environment."
