Further levels can be normally learnt following the same pattern as of the Language Course for adults.

This is a great way for kids to spend their leisure time in a productive way. The Language Academy knows the secret to making language learning fun and exciting for the kids too. Get to know others of a similar age and enjoy the experience of learning French together. With songs and stories, dance and drama, movies and much more. And at the end of the course, they can happily say: ‘apprendre le français est amusant!’ (Learning French is fun!)
