18 month baby to learn French!

[mama_miamia]

Hello! I am new to Hong Kong and I am desparately looking for a centre for my 18 month baby to learn French, but I couldn't find one that is qualified to teach it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi mama_miamia, welcome to Hong Kong! I'm new to this forum too!

I had exactly the same problem and searched for a long time, then I found "HK KIDZ" in Central. All their teachers are native and experienced. My child reallly enjoys his lessons there!

Thanks reei & jenflower, I'll take a look at those suggestions. I'm trying to narrow it down to the Hong Kong Island area though. Thanks again.

jenflower, thanks I just got back from my visit to HK KIDZ. The centre is nice and colourful, met with the teacher and some parents there.

I didn't register my child in their programme yet, but I am definately keeping this place in mind.

Do you suggest I take their summer course programme or their regular programme? I am hoping to register by next week.

hk kidz , i checked the website, i thought they only have classes for 3 years old onwards.

reei, They actually have playgroups set for 1-3 years old and then some other courses for older children (up to 12). She said there's also courses for students and adults as well!

I went to visit their centre today, and they were explaining to me what they do, the kinds of courses they offer and I was quite surprised to know they offered so many languages (I am now interested in Spanish).

Do you have children learning languages too?

Hi mama_miamia

I am interested to let my daughter attend spanish playgroup. She is 22 months old now. I'll wait a little longer because I want her to get a place in kindergarten first before introducing a new language to her. Have to sort of prepare for interview and she is not answering questions most of the time. She only answers when she is in the mood. As I work, I will probably enrol her in weekend class, Sundays maybe.

How about you? When do you enrol and which is your preferred days?

Hi reei

That is nice, I was a bit hesitant to introduce a new language to my son as well. Then I noticed many other children begin learning languages at an even younger age, then I thought why not?

I was planning to enrol my child during the weekdays (Mondays, Wednesdays, and maybe Fridays). Still thinking about it though, I still want my son to join the French playgroup first.
