Joy for Languages

Online classes delivered: 154 and counting…

Bonjour, Hola and welcome to Joy for Languages. Here you’ll be able to enrol your child into our fun language lessons. You’ll also be able to keep up to date with our news, to read about our tutors, and to check out where and when we run our lessons and other activities.

Amusez-vous bien! ¡Pasadlo bien!

For more than 25 years, we have run La Jolie Ronde French and Spanish language classes at more than 20 Nursery Schools and Primary Schools in Richmond, Twickenham, Teddington & nearby.

In the Summer Term, with the schools on restricted access, we successfully delivered a full programme of online classes – 125 in total.

Our Autumn Term programme of tutor-led, interactive, online language classes is now underway! You can enrol for the remaining lessons in the term. Or join our Waiting List if your class is full. We’ll start up a new class if needed.

ENROL FOR AUTUMN TERM

We have missed not being able recently to meet our young language learners in-school. However, we’ve been greatly heartened by the hugely positive feedback from parents and pupils alike to our summer term of on-line classes, including all our usual songs, stories and interactive learning.

What our parents say:

			
									
														[Summer Fun French Week] I wanted to thank you and your tutors for a great French week. My elder son brushed up his French and our younger child had a good start at getting familiar with the language.

													― Sam, Richmond
											

										
														[Summer Fun French Week] Thank you very much for the online classes, they have been really enjoyable and it was lovely to see the children joining in and having fun.

													― Joanna, Richmond
											

										
														[Summer Fun French Week] Though my son tends to be quiet during the classes, he says he “loves it” and he was disappointed that there would be a break now until next term!

													― Debbie, London
											

										
														[Summer Fun French Week] My son has thoroughly enjoyed this week and the term prior to that, too. I’m hoping we can sign him back up to classes regularly in September.

													― K, Petersham
