About Us:

Background information

Le Club Francais was set up in 1985 to introduce language learning to young children. We now teach over 50,000 children every week in the UK. The course is designed by professional pedagogues and linguists to progress from 3 year olds to 11 year olds. The materials are excellent and all teachers are fully trained in our methodology. The in-school course has been developed according to the government QCA guidelines.

We use games, songs, role-play and activities to allow young children to assimilate a new language in the same way they are learning their mother tongue. Because of the way a child's brain develops, the more they hear of a foreign language when they are young, the easier it is for them to repeat the sounds and acquire a good accent.

We aim to give every child the confidence to express themselves and most importantly we make it FUN!

Why learn a language at primary age?

We feel passionately about the importance of learning languages. Learning French at this age is all about having fun. Our courses are designed to give children confidence and enthusiasm for the French language. Young children are less inhibited about reproducing foreign sounds and are like sponges absorbing a new language almost as easily as learning their mother tongue. Their self-esteem will soar and studies have shown that those learning a foreign language from a young age are intellectually more advanced and better able to focus on complex tasks than their contemporaries.

Our Teachers

We have a team of 28 teachers, all of whom are fully trained and have enhanced CRB disclosures. They too feel passionately about the benefits of learning a language when children are young, and are enthusiastic, energetic and inspiring teachers who make all clubs both fun and educational.
