Degraves Street — Languages

My son attended the Degraves Street Languages program in Melbourne, and overall, we had a positive experience. The staff, especially our instructor, Sofia, was incredibly engaging, making learning languages fun through games and songs. My son, who is usually a bit shy, built confidence as he participated in group activities. The outdoor seating area added a nice touch, and the fresh air made the learning environment enjoyable. However, we did encounter long lines during the pickup time, which was a bit chaotic and stressful. I wish there had been a better system in place to manage dismissals. Despite that minor annoyance, my son made a new friend and was excited to share what he learned after each session. I would recommend this program, especially for younger kids, but be prepared for some logistical challenges during pickup.

I recently took my 9-year-old to the Degraves Street Languages program in Melbourne, and overall, we had a solid experience. The instructor, Mia, was very engaging and tailored the activities to keep the kids interested. My child particularly enjoyed learning basic phrases in Spanish while creating colorful flashcards outdoors. The small group size really helped each child get attention, which was great for their learning. However, we did find the area a bit crowded at times, especially during pickup. It felt a little chaotic trying to find each other among the bustling crowd. Nonetheless, my child left with a newfound excitement for language learning and even made a friend. I would recommend this program, especially for outgoing kids eager to explore new languages in a fun environment.
