FAQs about Spanish classes for 7 to 9 year olds
Can my child start at 7 or 8 with zero Spanish?
Yes. Beginners have their own groups, with a maximum of 4 children, and the class is 100% in Spanish with the Total Physical Response method: everything the teacher says comes with pictures, objects and gestures, so children understand from the very first day without anything being translated.
Will they learn to read and write in Spanish?
In class they take the first steps: they read short words and sentences that appear inside the games. For full reading and writing we have our own one-to-one literacy course, followed by the Reading and Theatre group levels, which many families take alongside their weekly speaking class.
How is this different from Spanish at school?
Groups of maximum 6 children instead of a class of 25, 100% immersion in Spanish and speaking from minute one. The goal here is not to pass an exam or fill in a worksheet: it is to hold a conversation, so almost all the class time is time your child spends talking.
How many children are there per class?
A maximum of 6 children per group, and a maximum of 4 in beginner groups, so every child speaks several times in each class. The literacy course is one-to-one.
What schedule options are there?
We have classes from Monday to Sunday and cover every time zone, so families in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceania all find a slot that works. New groups open every week, so there is rarely a long wait for the right time and level.
Is there any commitment?
No. You start with a €3 trial class and, if your child enjoys it, you choose the plan that fits your week. There is no minimum term: you can change plan, pause or cancel whenever you need to.
