What's new for Key Stage 2 ?
|
The Junior Language
Challenge 2008 |
|
This unique competition was set up to give thousands of children
across the country a headstart in learning languages.
Experts agree that the more practice we all have at learning a
new language - any language at all - the better we become at picking
up a new tongue. And the younger, the better.
This competition challenges primary school children to learn up
to three languages in under 9 months, starting with Dutch!
