TEACHING

Our lessons are designed so that children learn the language in a natural and fun way. The lessons are led by specialized teachers, which creates a natural bilingual environment. Children break down the barrier of communication and begin to react naturally to Slovak. Fear and stress from a foreign language will disappear, children will gain self-confidence and their expression will improve.
