GERMAN FUN CLUB FOR CHILDREN
We offer German for the 3 to 5 and 6 to 12 age groups
THE ADVANTAGE OF LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN THE EARLY YEARS
The advantage of learning a language in the early years is that children learn easily and have a better long-term
memory. As a consequence, the tuition is more effective and potentially of great benefit in later life. Children are
taught subconsciously in their target language by the use of carefully created language games and songs, so that
learning becomes fun and enjoyable. Children get to know each other, become friends, develop their own
personality and learn to socialise with other children of a similar age. Interaction skills learned during the Fun Club
can be employed throughout life, giving young students an enormous advantage in their development.
FOR WHOM IS THE FUN CLUB SUITABLE?
The fun clubs are suitable for children of all levels. If some children have a background in the target language it does not affect the lesson if other children do not. We use body language and other language support tools such as videos, songs and objects to explain and introduce new vocabulary to the children without speaking any English. Gradually they build up their vocabulary and confidence to be able to speak the target language, all based on and supported by our successful tried and tested teaching methods. Children who already know the language brush up on their existing vocabulary and can speak and listen to the language.
TUTORS AND TEACHING STRATEGY
Experienced tutors, teaching through interactive fun language games. Taking advantage of the psychology of
children to advance their language skills at an early age. All tutors are CRB checked.
FUN CLUB
The German Fun Club runs for 5 weeks, 1 hour a session. The maximum group size is 6 children for the 6-12 age group and 4 children for the 3-5 age group.
We deliberately keep group size small so that the children and teacher build up a good relationship and ensure that every child gets enough attention and has the best chance of learning the language.
At the end of each 5 weeks session Babble Language Training will issue a report about each child
and topics taught.
The Fun Club not only involve the children with the language but also raise awareness of the culture and customs of the country concerned.
