The Magical Frog has landed in Chigwell.

The language school aims to teach children French through a programme that involves play, arts, crafts and cartoons and moves away from more traditional lessons.

It will be based in Meadow Way, Chigwell and classes will be held after school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as well as on weekends.

Tutor Jenny Berman, who can speak five languages, spent her childhood in France.

She said: “Having a second language not only makes your time overseas go smoothly, but many studies have proven that learning another language at a young age has a positive effect on cognitive development. Other than that, being multi-lingual in the world today gives individuals an advantage in the job-related arena.”
