Our award-winning Lingotot language classes are motivating and interactive with songs, games, stories and crafts all designed to help children learn naturally, without them even realising they’re doing so.  Our aim is to give children a positive association with languages early on in their lives.  They gain in confidence and the older class group attain a solid base to take with them into secondary school. Lingotot is also proud to have been selected by over 20 primary schools granted the 10 week 'Languages Sampler’. This initiative by the Dept of Education gives pupils an early experience of a foreign language and further expands their awareness of the diverse languages and cultures.  Tailored for third to sixth class pupils, it lays the groundwork for the future integration of additional languages into the Primary Curriculum Framework.
