5-POINTS friLingue

⭐ SECURITY

Always comes first, check 6-points SECURITY

⭐ LANGUAGE IMMERSION

Always try to converse in the language you’re teaching, and encourage the kids to talk

⭐ PUNCTUALITY

Everyone should be on time and respect the schedule, act professionally and as a team

⭐ KIDS' HAPPINESS

Openness, mutual respect, encouragement, bully-free zone, inspire kids

⭐ BE AWARE THAT YOU’RE A GROUP

Have a phone with you, always have at least 3 kids in a group on the excursion, and always take less risk into consideration, than if you were with friends
