Hello community,

Looking for a bit of advice.. my husband and I are very keen for our 2 yrs old son to learn an additional language and we love italian.

Can anyone recommend an Italian playgroup for a 2 yrs old in Wimbledon/Wandsworth area?

Thanks

Ann

The best way would be to have an Italian aupair or nanny who speak to him only in Italian, at 2 years old he would very quickly understand and start to speak italian.
As an example I was a nanny and went to work in Italy for an Italian family, to teach their 2 year old girl english, she didn't know know any English when I started, within 6 months she understood everything I said, with 9 months she was speaking English fluently.
At 2 years old, children very quickly pick up a new language if surrounding by it constantly everyday.

Hello there,
If you want to I can look after him and teach Italian as well cause I used to do with one of my previous family when I used to be an aupair,
Let me know if you are interested.
