French Classes Cardiff
Annie Harding
French Summer Drop-in Sessions
As last year, I will be running some French drop in classes during the summer holidays for the under 6’s – everyone is welcome. We’d love to see some of the children who moved up to big school back for the summer!
I will be holding these at the Community Room in Tesco Extra on Western Avenue on Tuesdays at 9.45am. The classes will last 45 minutes and cost £5 for one child and £8 for 2 children from the same family on a pay as you go basis (babies are free). Tesco is a great venue which has ample parking and a great coffee shop and of course you can get some last minute shopping done while you are there!
The classes will have a summer holiday theme and we will be singing and playing games about the things we get up to in the summer.
The drop in sessions will take place on the following dates. Please let me know if you can attend so that I can plan ahead. I will need a minimum of five children per session to make them viable.

Pre-school and After School French Classes Cardiff
Learning a foreign language is a valuable part of every child’s education, so why not give your child a headstart with the chance to start learning French now? Learning a language in their earliest years helps children to grow in self-confidence and boosts their natural creativity.
At Frenchtastic, we are dedicated to teaching French to young children through fun – we use songs, dance, games and drama to bring the language to life and inspire our little learners.
Why not come along and see what fun Frenchtastic really is? FREE trial available for all new French Classes Cardiff customers.
