Description

At The Language Academy, we believe that learning a new language should be fun, engaging, and full of discovery – especially for young learners! Our Spanish beginners for kids course is specially designed for children aged 6 to 9 who are just beginning their journey into foreign languages.

Through a variety of activities, children will be introduced to the basics of Spanish. No prior knowledge is needed – just curiosity and a sense of adventure!

This course isn’t just about learning new words – it’s about building a lifelong love for languages, discovering new cultures, and gaining confidence in communication. Children will leave smiling, singing, and excited to come back for more!

Description

While Latin no longer exists as a spoken language, its influence lives on through expressions we use daily in everyday speech and writing but also when referring to legal concepts such as habeus corpus, or alibi.  And we’d surprised if you had never used i.e., e.g. and etcetera in your speech or writing.  In this session, we’ll look at “everyday latin”, its core meaning and why we still use it.

The Language Academy (LA) aims to offer you the “cure for monolingualism”!  We believe that in these days of online learning, there is still very much place for face-to-face lessons, where you can come together with like-minded people and enjoy the challenge of learning another language.  We are very pleased that many of our students have taken multiple courses with us, working their way up through the levels. As well as traditional evening courses, we run 5-hour immersion days, which include a snack lunch, intensives courses over several days, courses for kids, language holidays abroad, and ‘mastery of English courses’. We charge £1 just so we can keep track of how many students are attending.

Our French Songs sessions will unashamedly take you back to the days when France was the pinnacle of romance, the smoke of Gauloise cigarettes hung permanently in the air and Brigitte Bardot (RIP) was more of a sex symbol than a glorified zoo-keeper!  Each of these 2 sessions (French Songs 1 & 2) will introduce 3 classic French songs by singers such as Edith Piaf.  You will not regret joining us (did you see how we did that?).  Come to either or both – the sessions will be indepent of each other and you don’t need to have attended the previous one!  Suitable for all but will be appreciated most by lovers of all things French, with some language knowledge.

You may well be using an app as a supplement to your structured learning programme with a teacher (we do hope you have a teacher, otherwise you could find things tough-going!).  Apps (eg Duolingo) can be good, but they cost!  On Instagram, you will find all sorts of pages that give you FREE input!  We will take you through some of the best in this session.
