See how Early Start helps primary children enjoy success with languages:

For pupils, seeing real children in their everyday lives really brings language lessons to life; it is about their culture and how they live - not just rules of grammar ... 

Hear the words first for better pronunciation: your pupils' model is the real native speakers they see on-screen using the language in context, rather than reading from a textbook page and relying on translation. 

Careful progression doesn't overwhelm young learners with too much to learn too soon.  Each section builds on what has been learned before.  Using a "primary approach" avoids repeating the way children will learn languages in later secondary schooling. 

A foundation for later language learning: Early Start introduces basic concepts of how the language works in an age-appropriate way, aiming to teach a small amount well. 

Transforms dull memorising into enjoyable games: Early Start shows how language lessons can centre on group interaction and inter-pupil communication, with a competitive element. 

Develops the potential of songs - using rhythm, catchy tunes and repetitive choruses to get pupils used to the new words.  Find out more about ​"Learning with Early Start songs" with examples.

Great support for non-specialist teachers - with detailed help for lesson planning in the Teacher's Guide, together with the "talking dictionary" which helps the non-specialist linguist with pronunciation issues. 

Cross-curricular links to help you embed languages in the wider curriculum - exploits the unique advantage of having the language taught by the class teacher who knows the children well and delivers all the rest of their curriculum.
