English Explorers Zoom Club

Welcome to the English Explorers Zoom Club – Fun, Interactive English Learning for Kids Aged 4-12!

Discover the joy of learning English through play, crafts, and outdoor-inspired activities in our fun-filled Zoom sessions!

Join us today and make English learning an adventure your child will love!

Starting January 2025 I will be offering fun nature and craft based english group lessons over Zoom for younger children between 6- 11 years. 

My focus for the younger age group is definitely about obtaining vocabulary. I am a huge fan of learning a foreign language as a living language and not through grammar and reading but through hearing and speaking as if we were learning our native tongue (you can read more about the Charlotte Mason approach here). 

These short interactive 30 minute lessons are a perfect start for children based in Germany and Austria where English is a compulsory subject starting in the third year.

Lessons will be available as morning sessions for homeschooling families and afternoon lessons for children attending public schools.

#WhinnyWednesday Working together—mum, daughter #WhinnyWednesday

Working together—mum, daughter, and pony—with kindness, curiosity, and a lot of languages.

Emily and Gypsy are just starting out on their clicker/horse agility journey, and this short 'training' session includes so much:

 Clear communication (sometimes in English, sometimes in German -got to get that bilingual learning in 😉)

 Learning side by side.

 Building trust through positive reinforcement—for both humans and horses.

We’re definitely not aiming for perfection, but more of a connection. One cue, one giggle, one “brav" at a time.

Language learning isn’t just for schoolbooks!

#multilingualmonday 5 Phrases for Calmness – Fo #multilingualmonday

5 Phrases for Calmness – For humans and ponies.

A calm connection can be communicated—gently, consistently and bilingually.

Here are 5 phrases I say softly in both English and German, to build trust and slow the moment down—for both of us, as I get stressed to sometimes!!

breathe – atmen

It's okay – Alles gut

Slow down – Langsam

I'm here /I'm with you – Ich bin bei dir

Good boy/girl – brave junge/ braves mädchen

Don't forget language also creates a type of energy,  that can be conveyed to both people and ponies😊

Which phrase speaks to you most today?
