West Manchester Lingotot Centre | French and Spanish classes for kids. MFL PPA cover.
My name is Vicky and I am very fortunate to be the owner and tutor at Lingotot in West Manchester.
I grew up enjoying family camping holidays in Europe and loved learning languages once I got to secondary school. I studied languages and became a secondary languages teacher, where for 20 years,I loved seeing teenagers enjoy languages and make great progress.
Once I had my own children, I began to look for a way to help younger children engage in languages. My own children would easily pick up new words and young children embrace new vocabulary so easily.
Then Lingotot crossed my path! I am so lucky to have a job which is so enjoyable. I now teach French and Spanish to children in and around the area and am looking into starting a German class too.
Lingotot offers really fun and interactive classes for children in schools,nurseries and within the community. Classes are taught through songs, games and stories. Our community classes are great fun and parents also enjoy the opportunity to learn / revise their own languages. Most importantly, the children learn whilst having fun and the grown ups benefit too! Contact us for more information on French for kids or Spanish for kids in your area.
Babies and young children are phenomenal linguists.They are literally sponges. Take a look at this information from our Lingotot blog.
We offer free taster sessions,so please do come along and give it a try!
You can learn more about my classes by listening to my interview on Salford City Radio "Baby Diaries"
We also deliver PPA cover lessons to primary schools as well as after school and lunchtime clubs.
The Cottage Nursery - " Such a great session! "
"Well today was our first Lingotot French lesson, this week it was our two oldest groups that took part! I can't believe how well the children did, they joined in with all the actions and words and sat beautifully throughout the whole 30 minute session.
A big thank you to Vicky who delivered such a great session."
They look like they're having such a great time.
" We are so proud to be working with such a great company"
Vicky has a lovely rapport with the children.
Madison really enjoyed her class this morning and I would recommend this class to all. If you have children aged 0-4 and they love singing and having fun,then this is fantastic!
She has really picked it up!
Lilyana has been doing great with her French. It's amazing how much she has really picked up - especially when you think children aren't listening. She reallyhas been listening! She says and knows 7 French words regularly and that's all fromthat session you did on clothes.
Pippa has enjoyed the sessions and has picked it up well. Classes have been paced well and always well prepared.
"I've been taking my son to French classes with Vicky since September last year, when he was 21mths old. He's now 2yrs 3mths and he can sing along to most of the songs, count to 10 better in French than English and has so much fun at each session! His vocabulary has really come on too, in both English and French. Vicky is a wonderfully patient teacher too. We highly recommend it!
Just had to tell you this, collected the boys from nursery today and they said the had been sitting in a circle counting. Finlay stood up and counted to 20 in English. On James's turn he announced he would be counting in Spanish and he did!
He's been singing the wheels on the bus in French tonight!!! We both just stopped what we did and watched as he sang it whilst painting his train. He even stopped painting to do the door actions. He then made us sing it too.
A nice variety of songs, stories and crafts. She absolutely loves it!
My 14 month old daughter has been attending Lingotots Spanish classes for several terms now and she absolutely loves it. It's a really friendly class run by the lovely Vicky, with a nice variety of songs, stories and crafts. Plus it helps me brush up on my Spanish too!
the best I've been to! I wish I'd been able to start Chloe at the classes at a younger age.
We have two (1y and 3y) boys who are both full of energy and eagerness to learn new things.
They have really taken to the Spanish lessons and, especially, enjoy singing.
needed and letting them run aroundwhen it is clear that they need to burn off some energy.
something we look forward to.
a taste for something different. Thank you Vicky!
Cian has loved his time this term at Lingotots, he's been so enthusiastic about learning new vocab and trying to teach his younger brothers everything he has learnt.
