First and foremost learning a language should be fun and the student should be looking forward to the lessons. Thus, a friendly, interactive and entertaining approach is mandatory to a successful learning. Through educational games, and conversations as well as writing lessons, the student learns the language and understands it and uses it correctly. The lessons could be a bit intense as the language taught is the only language spoken in, of course except to translate a specific word, however trying to explain the meaning behind this word in the taught language prior to asking for help. Mistakes have to be made as they will rightfully show the weaknesses the student has in their language proficiency level, therefore highlighting the areas to be worked on. An extremely serious environment is not required for the student to learn a language, however, it could be adjusted according to parents’ preferences. In fact, parents are to be expected to outline their preferences in terms of approach and what are the outcomes expected from this.
