Learning objectives:

We captivate the young ones with simple dialogues, activities, songs, imaginative illustrations and games. In order to be able to speak a language you must first of all understand it - and that is precisely what your infant will learn with Mortimer: first understanding then speaking English. With the aid of our specially developed teaching materials we will gently encourage your child with lots of fun to use the English language just as naturally as their native language.

Learning age: 1 – 2 years

Babies and infants have an innate feel for languages. There is never a better time in a person’s life to learn a language as effortlessly as in the first 3 years - the phase of native language acquisition. Don’t worry if your child doesn’t speak from the outset. At this age your child has the ability to learn every language. Sooner or later your child will start to speak naturally and on their own initiative.

Learning group: ca. 3 to 6 infants + parent

Teaching takes place in small, age-appropriately divided groups of ca. 3 – 6 infants. You as the parent / guardian can also accompany your child during the lessons and experience their learning progress up close!

Teaching material:

Set contains: 3 activity books, 1 craft pad, 1 audio CD and the green Mortimer English Club bag.

In our English for Little Ones set (ca. 300 words) we cover interesting topics which are suitable for children. Children will also become familiar with many typical English songs and nursery rhymes. You can find more information about our teaching material here.

What I like best about working with Mortimer:

„I have met a lot of very nice and interesting people in my courses and sometimes I think “Wow, I am getting money for having fun!”But never underestimate the work that is include outside the courses! Anyway, my decision to join Mortimer in 2008 was absolutely right and I have never regretted this step!“
