'Children's Italian Language Group?'

[grazia.iettogillies]

Hi, is anyone out there interested in a fun Italian language and culture group for kids? I have two young grandchildren in Dulwich with Anglo-Italian heritage and we would love to be able to take them somewhere where we can meet similar families and play and sing songs in Italian. Is anyone else interested in this kind of thing? If so, please reply indicating the ages of your kids. '

Anyone else interested?

I am not Italian, but when I was younger I spoke quite good italian due to going there frequently first of all on holidays, and then later on for work. I have forgotten most of it, but I would love my children to have an opportunity also of learning it at a young age. It is not a language taught in schools, and so this might be a good way of doing so. They are both young (2 1/2 and 6 months) so I am not in a great rush, but I would be glad to know what's out there.

Dear Lucy

Just to mention re Lucy A1308's post -

The Italian government funds teachers to come over and teach Italian in London primary schools. I have no idea what conditions apply, but the Italian Cultural Institute in London should be able to tell you about it. I understand that there's a lot of competition for the jobs so the quality of the teaching is very good. One of the teachers who was over on this scheme was living locally a couple of years ago and teaching in, I think, three different Lewisham schools.

Hello, is this group still meeting?

My son is only a couple of months old but I would love to learn some Italian songs & nursery rhymes (his father is Italian & that side of the family still live there).
