Hi Babsey, Thanks for your interest. We're at the chitchat end of the scale, although I do try to do some themed activities to help with vocabulary. Having said that, there's real interest for group...

Play group for Anglophone children in Lago Maggiore area

Hi all -- it's been a long time! I thought I'd let everybody know that we've started a play group for English-speaking children in Cannobio, on Lago Maggiore. We meet at the Oratorio di Cannobio...

That sounds great - I wonder whether I'll find so many English speakers in this neck of the woods! Thanks for replying. L

Re: Group for anglophone children - looking for ideas

That's interesting - how does it work? Do you meet in each other's houses? How many children are there?

Re: Group for anglophone children - looking for ideas

That's really interesting - every time I've thought about it I've been getting hung up on my (in)abilities as a teacher and the time it would take to organise language-related activities - perhaps,...

I'm thinking of starting a group for children who speak English (and their doting parents) in the western Lago Maggiore area. It would be nice to include both native and non-native speakers, given...

Re: Anybody with experience of two-centre living?

Thanks for these, Lorna - the website is very useful. I can see that the home schooling thing isn't to be taken lightly.

Another idea...if I were to put the children into Montessori schools, which...

Re: Anybody with experience of two-centre living?

Re: Looking to move to Alps

You might want to look at Lago Maggiore, which, although touristy in summer also has a strong life independent of the tourist industry and so doesn't die in winter. I'm on the west side of the lake...

Re: Bi-lingual kids

I'd like to add something that hasn't yet been mentioned (I'm English in a predominantly German-Italian environment and the kids are trilingual). It's important, I understand to allow the child...

Re: Bi-lingual kids

Yes, the fear is always that the minority language will become passive - the child will understand but will reply in the majority language. This is where you will need to be strong and insist that...
