Summer went so fast!
Time have fun with French again!

Our Next session will start on September 9th (10am until 10:40am) for 4 weeks until September 30th at WOW Children’s Museum in Lafayette (http://www.wowchildrensmuseum.org/education/language-class/).

Children from 0 to 5 years old will learn the basics of the French language while participating in games, dancing and singing. Simple vocabulary will be taught and pronunciation will be introduced in this interactive class. Little ones need to move, they will be encouraged to participate! All material for the lessons will be provided.

$48 for the 4-week session (you have to register for the entire session, no drop-in), half price for siblings. You can also enjoy the museum after class at a discounted rate that day (just mention you are taking the French class at check-in).

Sign-up now and send me payment to secure your spot. Thank you for making your check to Véronique Carney, and mailing it at 595 West Linden Street, Louisville CO 80027.

A thought:

I believe that learning a language should be a fun experience for little ones. It is never too early to learn French; actually, the earlier the better, they won't even realize they are learning, and their accent will be so much better--they might even have no accent!
I do not expect kids to sit during the entire lesson. They want to dance, sing, and play, so there has to be a lot of interaction. This does not mean they don't learn--on the contrary, vocabulary can be introduced naturally through total immersion, a must with kids.
