Give your child a confident start in French

⭐ A positive first experience of French
For young children, learning a language should feel exciting, achievable and fun.
Our KS1 programme gives children the opportunity to discover French in a friendly, supportive environment where they can have a go without worrying about getting everything perfect.
We focus on building:
🗣️ Speaking confidence
👂 Listening skills
🎵 Enjoyment of language
🔤 French sounds and pronunciation
📚 Vocabulary and early language skills
🌍 Curiosity about French-speaking cultures
The aim is simple:
We want children to enjoy French now — and want to keep learning it as they grow.
🎨 How do children learn French?
Young children learn best when they are actively involved.
Our lessons combine a variety of activities so that children hear and use French repeatedly without lessons feeling repetitive.
🎵 Songs & rhymes
Songs help children become familiar with French sounds, rhythm and vocabulary in a natural and memorable way.
🎲 Games & challenges
Interactive games give children lots of opportunities to recognise and use new language while having fun.
🎭 Stories & roleplay
Children use their imagination while practising simple French in meaningful situations.
🗣️ Speaking activities
From the very beginning, children are encouraged to use French aloud through short questions, answers and conversations.
👂 Listening
Children gradually become more comfortable hearing French and responding to familiar words, phrases and instructions.
🖼️ Visual learning
Pictures, flashcards and visual prompts help children understand and remember new vocabulary.
✏️ Early reading & writing
As children become ready, we introduce simple written French, phonics and sound–spelling links.
Every activity has a purpose: helping children become more confident language learners.
🇫🇷 Your child's KS1 French journey
Throughout KS1, children explore a wide range of familiar and engaging themes.

🎯 What will my child be able to do?
As children progress through their KS1 French journey, they will have opportunities to:
✓ greet someone in French
✓ introduce themselves
✓ answer simple questions
✓ understand basic familiar spoken French
✓ respond to classroom instructions
✓ count and use numbers
✓ talk about themselves and their family

❤️ Why BELingual?
Small & supportive groups
Children have regular opportunities to participate and speak French, while receiving individual encouragement.
Carefully planned learning
Behind the games, songs and activities is a structured programme designed to gradually develop children's language skills.
Confidence before perfection
Children are encouraged to have a go, experiment with French and learn from mistakes in a positive environment.
Learning through enjoyment
We use games, songs, stories and activities because children learn particularly well when they are engaged and enjoying themselves.
A clear language journey
KS1 provides the foundations for continued French learning as children move into KS2 and beyond.
A local learning community
We welcome families from Amersham and the surrounding area into a friendly, supportive learning environment.
💬 What might you notice at home?
One of the most rewarding parts of learning a language is when children start using it outside the classroom. You may hear your child:
“Bonjour!”
“Salut!”
“J'ai six ans!”
“J'aime...”
“Regarde!”
Or suddenly hear them singing a French song they learnt in class. These little moments are signs that French is becoming something they enjoy and feel confident using.

👨👩👧 Create your own KS1 French group
Would your child prefer to learn French with friends or siblings?
We can create a new small KS1 French group if you already have a few children who would like to learn together.
This can be ideal for:
👫 Friendship groups
👧👦 Siblings
🏘️ Local community groups
📅 Families looking for a different day or time
You bring the group. We provide the teaching, planning and structure.
🧑🏫 Private KS1 French lessons
Some children prefer individual attention or would benefit from a more personalised pace.
We also offer 1:1 KS1 French tuition. Private lessons can be particularly useful for:
- building confidence
- supporting school French
- children who prefer individual learning
- children who want additional French practice
- learning at their own pace
🇫🇷 Start your child's French journey
Your child doesn't need to be naturally “good at languages”. They simply need the opportunity to hear French, use it, enjoy it and build confidence over time.
Our KS1 programme is designed to give children a positive first experience of French while developing the foundations they can continue building throughout their education.
Small steps today. Confident language learning for the future.
