Languages

Improve your French language skills the fun, immersive way!

Learn the language by “living” it. We are not a school that teaches “grammaire, conjugaison and memorisation.”

We offer fun extra-curricular activities; we teach the fun, immersive way that is used in the French program! Educators speak French to the children and translate only when necessary. They encourage them to answer back in French (as much as possible of course) while helping them find their words when needed. French is taught through various subjects: sciences, geography, cultures, legends etc

Details:

Beginners - For the beginners, we begin with word-picture associations based on weekly themes. We encourage your children to say the words and point to the corresponding picture. They are then given simple sentences, asked to repeat them and confirm they understand their meaning.
 
Intermediates - Your children read passages from age appropriate books, stories and poems! Our educators help them understand the words, the meaning of the sentences and encourage them to explain the text in their own words. They also be asked to write simple sentences that, with time, will turn into paragraphs! Word “dictée” will reenforce their learning.

Advanced - For advanced students, we ask them to read longer passages from a children’s book, a fable or a poem. They are asked to explain the story using their own words and write a few sentences or a short paragraph about the text. A short “dictée” is also added every now and then.

What you need:

  • A screen (computer, tablet, phone) connected to the internet
  • A webcam so you can see us and we can see you
  • Audio turned on so you can hear speak and be heard
  • An adult to help setup
