Come play in the magical world of languages! We offer language courses with different levels for toddlers and children of primary school age. Joy in speaking and learning Spanish is central in our courses. Our lessons for children aim to make children feel at ease and comfortable in a second or third language. This is why our children’s courses are fully taught in Spanish. For children who speak (some) Spanish at home, the lessons can provide a welcome support to parents who are raising their children bilingually. (Most of) our lessons also welcome children who grow up in a home where Spanish is not spoken, but are curious to learn a new language or for families who are planning to move abroad.
For whom are the classes?
In our toddler group (1-4 year olds), toddlers ánd their parents/caretakers will be singing songs, dancing, playing, reading books and doing crafts together all in Spanish. This way children will absorb a lot of the language. This is an important first step when learning multiple languages. By enjoying this class together, the songs and words that are used during the lessons will easily find their way into your homes.
Our courses for preschoolers (4-6 year olds) are for children who joined primary school but have not yet learned how to read and write. Similar to our toddler groups, this course for toddlers focuses on immersing in Spanish by singing, dancing, playing, reading and crafting, all in Spanish.
Our young learners’ courses are for any 6-9 year olds, ranging from beginners to intermediate Spanish speakers. Our pre-A1 starters group introduces your child to the very beginnings of the Spanish language. The A1 movers are our courses for children who already know some of the basics of Spanish. In these courses, children will start to express themselves more by learning to give brief descriptions of people and objects, agreeing and disagreeing, responding to basic questions and telling simple stories about topics that are relevant and important to them. Our next and final level is the A2 flyers group. In these courses, children will obtain the building blocks necessary to become more confident and creative in using Spanish.
The age range of each group is an indication. Do you think that your child might thrive better in a different age group? Are you unsure which is the best group/level for your child? Please let us know! Is the level that you are looking for not taught in Spanish? We also offer private lessons for children! Contact info@taalhuisamsterdam.nl and our teacher will get in touch to find the best option together.
