Price 190 Czech Crowns / 60 minutes (min. 4 students)* * discounts available CA Kids Methodology Children are amazing language learners and the younger they begin learning a second, or even a third language, the easier it is for them to absorb and use that language. The teaching methodology for children is greatly varied and CA Institute of Languages uses a combination of several methods to achieve the best results. Children at varying ages and developmental levels have different language learning needs and require a slightly altered approach, but CA Institute of Languages and its teachers are committed to making our lessons FUN as well as instructive.
