In a fun and interactive environment, children will learn basic vocabulary and simple phrases through songs, games and activities. Together we will discover greetings, numbers, animals and much more. The course not only promotes language skills, but also the bond between you and your child.
Join us and help your child learn their chosen language in a fun and effective way. Sign up now and experience how much fun language learning can be!
What we offer:
Led by native speakers
Our leaders of the parent-child courses are carefully selected. They have pedagogical know-how, experience with small children and are professionally qualified. We primarily use native speakers for our language courses.
Playful learning with fun
We work with age-appropriate games, which are pedagogically prepared according to the course-specific objectives. This includes, above all, songs and movement activitie
Interesting course topics
Each course is thematically self-contained. However, there are groups of words, such as colors, numbers, shapes, which are embedded in the topics across all courses. The topics are adapted to the children’s environment and age group.
Small course sizes
The groups are limited to 8 children with one pair of parents each, so that each child has enough space and attention.
Felxibility
If you miss a lesson, you can make up for it in another course.
Adapted to age
The parent-child courses are designed for the 2 to 4 age group. If your child is younger or older, please contact us and we will find out together whether participation would still be suitable or whether we can offer you a different course.
Competent families
The language is taught in a native-speaker way with lots of fun. Parents also learn along the way. Success and motivation of the whole family are in harmony.
Suitable for everyone
Our courses are suitable for children/families with a multilingual background as well as for beginners with an interest in an additional language.
Learning at the best of times
Language learning is never as easy as it was in childhood. Children learn the language, like their mother tongue, as they go along.
The network grows
In addition to language acquisition, the children also learn to interact with other children, which increases their social skills. At the same time, the parent-child bond is strengthened and perhaps the best friend will be found here.
For at home
Painting and craft materials as well as song lyrics and vocabulary lists for parents will soon be available in the parents’ area of our homepage (in progress).
Parent-child English course
Day & Time: Thursdays at 16:30 to 18:00
Location: FABI, Bonner Straße 68a, 53757 Sankt Augustin
Description:
The English language is increasingly a prerequisite in the professional world, regardless of which profession you choose.
Young children in particular learn with an ease that they will never have again later in life. Therefore, it is never too early to start getting used to the English language. Everything that children have learned by the time they start school is part of their habitus and does not need to be taught later. As everything is geared towards learning language, especially with small children, they learn through play, and their mother tongue does not suffer as a result.
This is why we do not train vocabulary or practise grammar in the English language course, but use the immersion method. This means that the teacher speaks English consistently and the children are fully immersed in the language. When playing, singing, eating, painting, crafting and rhyming, things are named and actions are described. Appealing pictures are used to support this.
By clearly differentiating between the English-speaking caregiver and other German-speaking caregivers, the child will understand the separation and be able to assign the languages to the people or contexts and thus learn several languages at the same time.
The courses are structured thematically and the activities, games and songs are selected to match the course theme. Learning content such as colors, numbers and shapes accompany the children throughout all courses. The overarching course structure is the same in all our courses so that the children can settle in quickly when changing courses or booking several courses.
As language acquisition can only be achieved through continuity, the English language course is particularly aimed at those interested in attending regularly and on a long-term basis.

Eltern-Kind Spanisch Kurs
Day & Time: Thursdays at 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm
Location: FABI, Bonner Straße 68a, 53757 Sankt Augustin
Description:
Spanish is one of the most popular languages and offers a wide range of cultural and professional opportunities.
Children learn at a young age with an ease that they no longer have later on. It therefore makes sense to come into contact with the Spanish language at an early age. Everything that children have learned before they start school becomes part of their natural use of the language and does not have to be painstakingly learned afterwards. As the child’s brain is particularly receptive to language, learning is playful and does not interfere with the mother tongue.
Our Spanish course for parents and children uses the immersion method. This means that the teacher speaks Spanish throughout the course so that the children are fully immersed in the language. When playing, singing, eating, painting and doing handicrafts, terms and actions are named and described in Spanish. Appealing pictures are also used.
Thanks to the clear separation between the Spanish-speaking teacher and other German-speaking teachers, the children learn to associate the languages with different people or situations and can therefore learn several languages at the same time.
The courses are structured thematically and the activities, games and songs are selected to match the respective themes. Learning content such as colors, numbers and shapes accompany the children throughout all courses. The overall course structure is the same in all our courses so that the children can quickly find their way around when changing courses or booking several courses.
As language skills can only be improved through continuous practice, the Spanish course is particularly aimed at families who want to take part regularly and on a long-term basis.
