French is a top selection when considering language-learning for both yourself and your toddler, as it is considered one of the simpler analytical languages that help structure thought pathways and develop critical thinking. As a fantastic entry-level language for any age, French is perfect for blended learning between your own and your child’s ages.
Is learning a new language with your toddler a good idea?
The answer is undoubtedly yes. At younger ages, children aren’t yet used to traditional learning environments, so it can be crucial for engagement, support and even fun to have mum and dad involved. When you take the time to learn together, not only will you both be starting at the same level, but you’ll grow together and increase the potential for success.
What to expect when learning French with your toddler
The classes designed at Alliance Francaise Dubai can transform the learning experience, with weekly French lessons for babies and parents that are built around interactive learning styles for the ultimate fun and engagement. The aim is to encourage language acquisition modelling in the brain while developing verbal skills that will spark curiosity in young minds and encourage attentiveness in adults. An array of sensory activities, games, and songs have been compiled across the course to give you both the tools, skills and confidence to bring your new language to life.
What are the benefits of learning French for toddlers and parents?
Learning a new language can be advantageous in numerous areas, from building cognitive skills to boosting cultural appreciation, with the leading benefits being:
- Improved concentration and heightened attention spans
