| Our-English Frequently asked questions
What is Our English?
Our English is a course for children aged 3.5 to 10, where we teach the
children English in a playful way. Our goal is to have the children using
English as a second mother tongue. We build their English understanding using
games, activities, and songs. By using this teaching method, we give them
confidence in speaking English, and a lot of enjoyment. The course should
have very little similarities to school.

How often does it take place?
We teach one hour (50 minutes) twice a week (60 lessons/year). This lessons take
place between September and June. There are no summer courses.

How do groups form?
The group size should be between 7 and 10 children. If there are more then 10
children in a group, there is a loss in achievement. They shouldn't be more
than 2 years of age apart. (4-6, 5-7, etc.).
Should the course be arranged by a parent, we would reimburse the parent the
net course fee as a provision. This only applies if there are more than 7
children in the group. The parent is then responsible for arranging an area
for the group to take place. (home, community hall, etc.).
The area should be heated, have a WC available, and should be no less than
20 squaremeters.

What material do we use?
We have a set program which we use, but the way it is taught is determined
by the children. We adjust ourselves to their learning speed. We use
flashcards, playcards, and song cassettes (

 | Riddle 1 What room has no doors and windows?
Answer |  |
 | Brain Teaser You are trapped in a room with 2 doors and no other way out. One door is freedom and the other has a tiger that will kill you. Each door can speak. One door always tells the truth while the other door always lies, but you don't know which is which. You may only ask one question. What do you ask a door to be 100% sure that it is freedom? Remember! One door lies.
