FAQ

Parents often ask

Not at all! Our classes are highly interactive. The teacher guides them step by step with songs, movement, and physical responses, so they learn by doing and playing.

At this stage, the course is fully oral. We focus entirely on listening and speaking, so there's no reading or writing involved. Reading is introduced in later levels when they are ready.
