Hi forum


My kids (3 and 6) attend La Jolie Ronde classes weekly but I'm not sure they're actually picking much up and am wondering if I might be better spending the money on having someone come to us and do a one-to-one (actually one-to-two) lesson.


Has anyone done something similar with similar aged kids? Are there tutors around who would do a home visit for just a half hour lesson (I think an hour would be too long)?


I would hope to find a tutor who is up to speed with how young kids learn, and who could make it a fun experience rather than a chore.


If anyone has any advice or recommendations, I'd love to hear them - thanks in advance!

I think that whichever lessons you choose, group or individual, the difference will be made by talking with them about and singing/listening to the songs etc in between the lessons. Also, at that young age the language is soaking in a different way I think; so whereas an older child or adult student may come out saying 'today I learnt X & Y' a small child may not be able to tell you much about their lesson but may well confidently join in with basic conversation and songs when they return next week.
French is no doubt the most traditional second language for us Brits but I just wanted to point out that many secondaries these days also focus heavily on Spanish and German. I have two in secondary and was mildly surprised that they weren't even offered French but do Spanish and Latin by default and one did German in an after school club.

I have a few French tutors available if you are interested in discussing the private tuition option. Could maybe set up a small group session. Please email or call for more information.

Thanks, Fran

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
