| Children are
recommended to start learning a foreign
language as early as possible. Starting from the natural source of
language, its sound, by
listening – our native speakers lead them soon

always having lots of
fun. |

Children start playing
first dialogues with dolls
and each other, acting out little plays, playing games, singing

get used
to a proper communication 英会話.

draw, number or match fitting things and colour
them in order to prepare for writing activities in the next step.

years: The
course of Happy House 2, consisting
as usual of Class Book and Activity Book,
completes the development of all language
skills by teaching the alphabet to get the
children into reading and writing as well. Particularly the great

activities supports the communication
abilities of understanding and active expression. |
