Due to their popularity, these classes will continue into 2021 when we can also look forward to the introduction of their face-to-face classes.<\/p>\n<p>Layla, a mum of two, has always recognised the importance of language learning from a young age. At home, she speaks more than one language so her children can benefit from the opportunities multi-language skills present. After several years of teaching and extensive research, Layla found Lingotot. She immediately recognised the gap in services like this in her local community and set into motion the foundation of Lingotot Rugby.<\/p>\n<p>Layla\u2019s passion coupled with this local demand meant her online classes were an instant hit. One parent, Melissa, said \u2018our daughter Lola has been attending Layla\u2019s Spanish lessons over the lockdown period via Zoom and has thoroughly enjoyed every session finding them fun and interesting. She loves the way Layla uses a mixture of songs, opportunities to learn new vocabulary, stories and games. The props she uses are a good addition to the oral focus of the lessons. Lola feels valued and appreciated by Layla and supported to have a go with new vocabulary.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>While 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, it has also been a positive turning point for Layla and Lingotot Rugby. When asked to reflect on her online classes, Layla said \u2018it has been lovely watching the children learn through technology and a massive \u2018well done\u2019 to them all by adapting to this online method of learning.
