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

    • As it turned out after my post, the police have photos. And even if they didn't, the OP reported the incident to the police, who would have asked for a description.  However there are all sorts of problems with eye witness descriptions, which would just be multiplied with several kids involved. I stand by my post. Are you suggesting a full description of these kids should be posted on here so that ... what?  Vigilante action by forum members? And if there was mistaken identity? Then what? Even if there wasn't, there could be all sorts of background issues relating to this sort of anti social behaviour. It should be left to the police to find and  appropriately deal with  the perpetrators of criminal behaviour. The police are far from perfect, but the alternative just makes a general slide into lawlessness more likely.
    • Hi there, we’re on Rodwell Road and need some large + medium moving boxes - please message if you’re trying to get rid of some, we can collect. 
    • bizarre responses from everyone but Cancerian 🤷🏾‍♀️ As an LL resident surely a perfectly normal enquiry in that one might wish to know who to look out for if lawless/feral kids are wreaking havoc? any distinguishing marks on the perpetrators? presumably the objection is that a physical description might reveal the alleged culprits as non-white? (nothing else makes sense with this bourgeois over-sensitivity). same botched thinking that causes police descriptions of suspects on the loose to omit this info  (top way to protect the public / solve the crime) FYI i'm a mixed-race female and interested in THE TRUTH. hence, i want to protect myself & my family against criminals. so please DESCRIBE the physical appearance of criminals or suspected criminals to help to keep us safe. thankyou.  "underlying agenda... strange" 😂😂😂 strange agenda to wish to be safe in my community. well played 🤯   working the nightshift here & getting mildly obsessed/infuriated with the peculiar responses. someone please explain how wishing to be able to attempt to identify, physically, the perpetrator(s) of an alleged local assault is "strange", with an "agenda"? God help us. (wait... "God"? must be a far-right religious maniac) "Unless there were distinctive features such as unusual clothing, how is that going to identify them"... green & purple mohican with accompanying buffalo 🦬 horns through the nose might do it; or simply hairstyle, skin colour, sartorial outfit... 🤔 "and even if it did, what would be the point, without photographic evidence that they had done anything wrong?" eyewitness reports? 😏
