In Steiner Schools worldwide, we offer two languages, starting at the age of six or seven,
and languages play an important part in the curriculum. We have three lessons of each language per week
so that's really quite an exposure.
The languages are kind of a door into the culture for the children.
[Kitty, Lower School Pupil] One of the great things about the Steiner School is that you get to do practical things.
and lots of trips. I've just been away with my whole class in Lyon for the last six weeks
staying with a French family and learning the language.
I'm a linguistic person and so I speak three languages but in Class 9, I started to learn German and I found it so much easier
to learn here because the teachers are open. They are like parents, they make you just want to enjoy this language
and I got an A in my exam so I was really pleased.
