How we work
Taalhuis Amsterdam values an inspiring learning environment where children can grow through building sustainable connections with a language and culture together with their peers. At Taalhuis, we use the immersive method. This means that the lessons are fully taught in Arabic and that new themes and vocabulary are introduced in a natural context through play, fantasy, music and books. This supportive and engaging approach allows children to naturally acquire a new language through structured and interactive experiences. Parents can join this adventure too through brief updates from the teacher after each lesson, with links to songs, stories and tips to continue exploring Arabic at home.

Levels and language development
We offer courses for preschoolers (4-6 years old) for children in the first years of primary school. In our classes for preschoolers, each lesson focuses on a different theme, relevant to the life of your child.

Based on sufficient demand, we can also offer courses for children aged 6-11. For these courses children should have basic reading and writing skills in the latin alphabet. Our children’s courses for 6-11 year olds are divided into different levels that are structured according to the CEFR Cambridge framework for children, which provides the following guidelines and ‘can do’  statements per level:

Starters (Pre A1, age 6-9): Children learn to understand simple sentences and conversations and can name and write familiar things, such as family and objects they frequently use.

Movers (A1, age 7-10): Children learn to understand written and spoken short stories and to tell a short story themselves. They also learn to write simple sentences.

Flyers (A2, age 8 -11): Children learn to understand and give descriptions, write and tell a short story and talk about what they did (the day or week before, for example).
