LONDON CHILDREN COURSES OF SLOVAK

Lower School (5-9 years)

in Fitzrovia Community Centre

Our Saturday Slovak class for children aged 5 to 9 is designed for young learners who already have some understanding of Slovak and would like to strengthen their speaking, reading, and writing skills in a structured yet friendly environment. The course combines language development with creativity, storytelling, drama, and cultural exploration, helping children grow in confidence and expression.

How the Course Works

👫 Small group learning
A supportive group setting encourages teamwork, discussion, and active participation while allowing teachers to address individual needs.

🗣️ Communicative approach (A1–A2 CEFR)
The course focuses on spoken Slovak, listening comprehension, and the gradual development of reading and writing skills, aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1–A2).

📚 High-quality learning materials
We use our own teaching resources alongside accredited Slovak language course books, especially Aha, slovenčina, widely recognised in Slovak language education for bilingual children and non-native speakers.

🎭 Learning through experience
Drama, storytelling, group projects, and creative workshops allow children to use Slovak naturally and confidently.

🤍 A safe and encouraging environment
We support children in building confidence, enjoying Slovak, and seeing mistakes as a natural part of learning.
