hi BusyBaBa
Can you tell more about Berlitz?
I also considering this center for my kids, but i know no one study there.
Do you think the course focus on speak, read, write, listen, or quite balance?

I have posted the details before.  Please refer this thread -> http://www.baby-kingdom.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=194607&forum=5#2463772

I always recommend the parents to send the kids for free assessment test to understand their course and the English standard of your kid.  Don't worry.  They will not push you to enroll or hard-sell.

They focus on conversation so that the kids can pickup grammer, sentence structure and vocabulary.  No phonic will be taught, nor word (their book has no word).  Your kids may not improve their English overnight, but I don't believe any language can be learned in days.  After around 4 months, I found significant improvement in my daughter's conversation skill, especially her tone that mimic native speaking.  Why I found the change after 4 months?  They actually recommend the parents to practise with the kids everyday, but we are too busy and lazy.  So, we tried our first practice 4 months after her first class, and we were shocked at how she read the book.

Please notice that my daughter is in her K3, and has attended their course for around 1 year.  If your kid attends a more advanced course, I think the course may include reading or writing.  However, if you are looking for some courses to focus on dictation or phonic for local education, this is not the one.

BusyBaBa,

May I know the duration of each class and how they charge ? Do you have their tel. no. ? Thank you.

BusyBaBa

They have 3 kinds of classes - group, semi-private and private.  For group (4-6), it will be 1.5 hour.  Semi-private (2) and private (1) is 45 minutes (you can extend to 1.5 hour if you want).

My daughter attended private last year, and has switched to semi-private now.  I would say semi-private is better than group, as the charge is not much different, but only 2 kids in the session.  For $, I am sorry that I cannot recall exactly, as it was handled by my wife.

Try to call 2826 9223 for more information.  If you cannot reach them, let me know so I will give you the name you can contact directly.

Actually I have already made an appointment for asssessment next week before I enter this topics.
My daughter is in K2, and she has been studying in British Council since K1 - Sept.
I think she can go to something more intensive. She just started to Jolly Phonic class in Nov.

When is your assessment date?
