Our Programmes

Greystones Languages for Children offers structured French and Spanish language programmes for primary school-aged children (ages 5–13), using La Jolie Ronde method.

Each programme runs for up to two school years, with progression built in at every stage to support more advanced learning over time. Children begin by learning to count, greet others, and ask simple questions. As they progress, they develop the ability to use the language in everyday situations.

Our programmes are available as after-school classes in various national schools around Greystones, Co. Wicklow, or directly through Greystones Languages for Children.

My son has attended French lessons for 2years with Glenda. He has really enjoyed the fun learning style that Greystones Languages uses to teach the children. I am delighted that he enjoys learning French and has such a great grounding now for secondary school with oral, aural and writing skills. Thank you Glenda!

Our son really enjoyed his years learning French with Glenda after school. He has developed a love of French and France and a confidence in using the language which has prepared him well for second level. Many thanks Glenda.

Celine

My 3 children thoroughly enjoyed attending Greystones Languages for Children and it gave them a good solid grounding in their primary years. On entering secondary school, it was evident that this paid off as they were much more confident and tackled French as an official school subject very well. Thank you Greystones Languages for Children and Glenda, especially, for giving our kids a great start learning French.

My son loved going to Spanish classes. He went from age 5 to 11. He learned so much, he can speak, read and write in Spanish. There are lots of games and activities and he would come home teaching me new Spanish words!. The book is so easy to understand with great illustration. Thank you so much Fernanda! I would definitely recommend the Greystones Languages for Children

The online Spanish classes for my 13 year old daughter are both fun and beneficial as she has attained a very good mark in her summer exams in 1st year. The teacher is engaging and motivational . The online classes will enable us to continue the classes in September. Everything about the school is very efficient and Georgia is always very responsive to any queries

My boys took spanish classes online during lockdown with Greystones Languages. My 5 year old did Las Aventuras and my 10 year old Buenos Dias. So happy with the classes, easy to follow, kids are kept engaged all the time by playing games, singing songs or doing other activities and are encouraged to practice what they learn all the time. Boys are looking forward to return to online classes in September with Janine and Rachel.

Its such a joy to witness how enthusiastic my daughter is about learning French. Using songs and games gives children a natural feel for the language and a willingness to practice their new expressions and vocabulary. Super!

Rachel is really enjoying it. You would have been really impressed if you had heard her yesterday teaching her Dad how to count to ten by making him sing and repeat it. Priceless! She’s keeping me on my toes as my French is very basic and rusty and I can’t translate all she wants to say in French. When I call her, all I hear is ‘ici Mum’
