Why learn another language?
Enhance life skills
Speaking another language opens the door to new possibilities and opportunities. It encourages people to travel and lifelong friendships are built with the people you meet along the way if you're able to communicate easily.
Boost other learning
Research has found that pupils who study foreign languages tend to score better at standardised tests than their monolingual peers. This has been particularly noticeable in maths, reading, and vocabulary.
Develop confidence & self-esteem
Learning a second language is incredibly rewarding and can enrich personal life too. We encourage children to use language in real life situations, which in turn will enable them to overcome fears and doubts, leaving them feeling much more confident.
Improve your employability
Our globalised world means companies are constantly expanding overseas and dealing with clients from all over the world. Speaking a second language enables you to communicate with a broader network.
Enjoy happy language learning with La Jolie Ronde
