Why summer is the best time to learn a foreign language
Summer is relaxation, freedom, fun, creativity, spontaneity – you can add some of your own words to expand the general definition. So it is exactly these that summer adds to the learning process- which, as everybody knows- can sometimes feel like a strain on our playfulness.
This is, therefore, the season to do things a little differently.
It’s worth mentioning that the best way to learn a language is the natural way, like children learn their mother tongue. It is and should be- a process of permanent discovery, in which assimilating new words goes hand in hand with the natural process of discovering yourself and the world.
We have abolished chairs (when and where necessary). Sometimes a colorful carpet can provide the best support for games, communicative activities and other relaxed and fun approaches that always help to boost your vocabulary and enhance that highly desirable sense of the language. Interaction in innumerable ways will also help in terms of self-development, casting a different light on yourself, your ability to communicate and ultimately, your potential.
One essential step towards the defining and refining of the self is communication. And what greater pleasure is there in summer other than engaging conversation?
It is in summer when fair creatures appear. And through their magic, all knowledge and novelty settles in as beautifully as a bed time story. So we let the magical ones out this summer through Fairy Tales and English.
It is our belief that this is also an ideal time to continue preparing for your language tests. Why so? Because you don’t have school-related worrying hovering. It will therefore be easy for your mind to focus on one thing and one thing alone- especially in a setting where there’s lemonade 🙂
Speaking of, we use lemonade as fuel. Are you familiar with the expression: get your creative juices flowing? Believe you us, lemonade is definitely one of them.
Want one more reason? Well, the plain and simple truth that everything is just easier to do, feel, take in, enjoy even, during summer. Learning included 😉
