  • With children, while learning French, the focus is also to reinforce their skills in writing, speaking, reading, and understanding.
  • Children have a major advantage compared to adults, they are able to repeat what they hear in French like “little parrots”. As a result, when children learn French from 6 years old, they can copy the French pronunciation almost like a French native speaker, which will ease a lot their learning.

    • Developing children’s skills in writing small sentences in French.
    • Helping children develop comprehension skills when reading a small text, or listening to a short audio file, or even when watching a cartoon in French.
    • Reinforcing children natural skills in reading: showing them the musicality of the language, teaching them how to pronounce properly, learning new vocabulary, and discovering grammar structure in texts.

Goal pursued by our french tutor:

  • To help children reach the A1 level, then the A2 level in French.
  • To reach the A1 level, depending on the child, between 60 and 150 hours of courses are required.
  • To reach the A2 level, depending on the child, between 100 and 250 hours of courses are required.
  • As children learn many subjects at school, and as their brains are highly stimulated, it is very often necessary to review what they learnt before, as children regularly forget. Consequently, many children need more hours of studying and reviews are very often required.

Requirements in terms of teaching by our french tutor:

A1 & A2 requirements:

The A1 and A2 requirements in French as a foreign language for children aged between 6 and 12 years old typically focus on basic communication skills, vocabulary acquisition, and simple grammar structures.

UNDERSTANDING:

For A1 level, children should understand and answer simple questions about familiar topics like personal information, family, hobbies, and daily tasks. For A2 level, children should understand and respond to a wider range of questions, including descriptions of people, places, and routines.

SPEAKING:

Additionally, children should be able to introduce themselves, greet others, and engage in basic conversations using simple phrases and expressions. Also, they should be able to describe simple pictures, comment a cartoon, or tell a story.
Moreover, children should be able to participate in simple conversations on familiar topics. They should express likes and dislikes, and ask and answer questions about everyday activities and experiences.
These skills help children build confidence and proficiency in global communication.

reading:

Moreover, children should be able to recognize and understand familiar words and short, simple texts, such as signs, labels, and simple stories with illustrations. This includes basic vocabulary and familiar phrases.

writing:

Finally, at A1 level, children should write short, simple sentences and complete basic forms with personal details.
When reaching the A2 level, they should write short paragraphs and simple messages like emails, postcards, or diary entries, using basic grammar and vocabulary.
These writing skills develop gradually, allowing children to express themselves more fluently and effectively.

The positive aspect with children is that after a period of learning (between 1 and 2 years), they can be almost educated similarly to French native children. They can do the same grammar exercises, read the same stories, and speak about the same topics. Additionally, they become capable to write short stories. Children absorb knowledge in French quickly, creating a fertile ground for their future education and life.

benefits FOR CHILDREN to reach A1 & A2 levels in french:

Reaching A1 and A2 proficiency levels in French can be a significant achievement for children with numerous advantages.

Early Language Acquisition:

First, learning French at a young age allows children to absorb the language naturally, taking advantage of their innate ability to acquire new skills effortlessly. Consequently, achieving A1 and A2 levels during childhood lays the groundwork for future language proficiency and fluency.

Cognitive Development:

Additionally, language learning enhances cognitive skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and memory retention. By engaging with French vocabulary, grammar, and syntax at A1 and A2 levels, children develop important cognitive abilities.
These skills benefit their overall academic performance and intellectual growth.

Academic Success:

Moreover, research suggests that bilingual children often outperform their monolingual peers academically. By mastering French at A1 and A2 levels, children develop strong language skills. These skills can positively impact their performance in other subjects, such as literacy, history, geography, mathematics, science, art and music.

Enhanced Communication Skills:

As a result, A1 and A2 proficiency in French, equips children with basic communication skills. They can be applied in real-life situations, such as ordering food at a French restaurant, or asking for directions while traveling. Children feel empowered to communicate effectively in a variety of contexts, including making new friends from French-speaking backgrounds.

Personal Growth:

In addition, learning French is a rewarding journey that fosters personal growth and self-confidence. As children progress through A1 and A2 levels, they build resilience, perseverance, and a sense of achievement. This lays the groundwork for lifelong learning and success.

Cultural Awareness:

Undoubtedly, learning French exposes children to the rich culture of French-speaking countries. In fact, through language lessons, they gain insights into French traditions, customs, and celebrations. As a result, this fosters cultural awareness and appreciation from a young age.

Global Opportunities:

Finally, proficiency in French opens doors to global opportunities in an interconnected world. Indeed, whether it’s traveling to French-speaking countries or pursuing international career paths, children who reach A1 and A2 levels have a head start.
