Find out about Early Start Spanish
The Early Start Spanish course gradually builds children's language knowledge and skills with carefully planned progression from a small and simple vocabulary. This gives them a sound foundation for later study at secondary school. Early Start Spanish is particularly designed for a mixed ability primary school environment, where the class teacher is responsible for delivering the whole curriculum to a group of children who learn together. Teachers with specific training in the teaching of foreign languages, who are fluent Spanish speakers, will be able to develop their own activities using the films, songs and teaching ideas as a starting point.
