HK KIDZ Spanish Courses

A fun-filled, stimulating, theme-based programme where little ones develop language skills naturally and spontaneously through listening, observing, exploring and experiencing the language in action.

During this course, your child will:

• begin to develop communication skills at an age when he/she is particularly receptive and not afraid to make mistakes;
• discover vocabulary appropriate to his/her age group and his/her daily life;
• sing songs, read stories, use puppets, play games and participate in arts and crafts and other fun-filled activities, enjoying endless opportunities to repeat and re-use the new found language;
• become absorbed in the new language by working and playing together with his/her classmates in the new language.

Surely the best way to start learning a new language!

Capitalising on young children's ability to learn, these exciting, stimulating courses are designed to    develop communicative skills naturally and spontaneously. Language learning takes place in a fun, lively atmosphere that engages children's minds and spirits.

During these courses, your child will:

• interact and establish confident communication skills at an age when he/she is particularly receptive;
• learn vocabulary appropriate to his/her age group and areas of interest related to his/her daily experiences;
• enjoy lots of opportunities to practise and assimilate the new language through fun-filled activities, songs, stories, language development games, etc.

The focus is on creating a positive and enjoyable experience, and inspiring a love of learning!

For children who love stories and pretending to be imaginary characters.

During this enjoyable, innovative programme, your child will:

• practise his/her Spanish in a fun, dynamic way;
• gain knowledge of correct pronunciation, rhythm, stress and intonation;
• learn to interact with others;
• build up his/her self-confidence.

Depending on his/her age group, your child will participate in movement and mime building up to acting out stories, puppetry and role-plays, all aimed at boosting his/her desire to communicate.

At the end of the term he/she will have the opportunity to perform for you in our specially designed drama room, with the added thrill of having his/her face painted, dressing up and using props.

A valuable complement to any of our courses and a great stand-alone holiday course!

These workshops aim to boost your child's Spanish skills in a creative and entertaining setting.

During these courses, your child will:

• reinforce what he/she has learnt in class;
• enhance his/her listening and speaking skills further;
• develop his/her creativity and discover new interests.

The aim is for your child to become so enthralled in exciting projects that he/she forgets he/she is actually learning and practising Spanish.

For native Spanish-speaking children who can understand and/or speak some of the language, with at least one native Spanish-speaking parent, and who follow the local, ESF or international school system.

According to his/her age and level, your child will:

• increase his/her listening comprehension and oral communication skills, including proper pronunciation;
• develop his/her reading and spelling skills;
• acquire an interest in Spanish culture.

The main emphasis is on helping your child become truly bilingual and maintaining contact with his/her cultural heritage.
