Description
At Mimi's, we want to give our young learners the very best start so that learning French is a positive, magical and fun experience. We want them to say "J'aime le français."
Founded by two qualified teachers and language specialists, Mimi's has been teaching Babies, toddlers, preschoolers and their parents, and children up to 8 years old in class in Dublin, Ireland since 2104. We are excited to now be able to bring our Mimi's classes to people all over the world.
In our online courses, we use our cheeky puppet Mimi to teach French vocabulary and phrases. We also use catchy songs, an easy to read French storybook about our puppet and lots of crafts, games and activities to keep your little ones entertained. All these activities consolidate the same learning, so the children will learn so easily.
In this coures, your little ones will learn lots of important, practical everyday French about how to say where they are sore or have hurt themselves. They will also meet lots of jungle animals and learn essential French such as greetings and numbers.
HOW IT WORKS:
WATCH: Six videos about Mimi's trip to the playground and her bumps and falls. Through Mimi, your children will learn key words and phrases about how to express where they are sore or have hurt themselves. We have an active song about going on an adventure through the jungle and meeting lots of wild animals.
The videos also teach greetings, counting up to 10, some colours and parts of the body. Over the six videos children will make steady progress in a gentle and fun way through our catchy songs and simple phrases. Each video will build on the vocabulary covered in the previous video which allows for easy progression.
READ: Read Mimi’s e-book Mimi se fait mal with audio. This course centres around this book, with all the vocabulary in the book covered in the videos. By the end of this course, the children will be able to understand the story in French and recognise and say some of the words in the book.
LISTEN: Our really catchy songs help to reinforce the important vocabulary and phrases learnt. So, listen to our songs on MP3 whenever and wherever you like.
PLAY: There are two fun activity packs to suit different ability levels with lots of crafts, games, activities and ideas for your child to practice what they have learnt during the sessions.

Bonjour!
We are Angie Canavan and Helene Giacometti and set up Mimi's French Classes in 2014, bringing fun French to many young learners and their families. We teach face-to-face classes in Dublin, Ireland for Babies up to 8 year olds, and we also do fun live zoom classes for ages 3-8 years. We are excited to be able to bring our access anytime, online courses to Udemy.
Who we are:
I am Helene, and I was born with French speaking parents in Ireland. I grew up bilingual in English and French. I am an experienced Primary School teacher with a specialism in teaching foreign languages. I also studied a degree in French at Trinity College. I have two young children who have inspired a lot of our content for Mimi's French Classes and who insist on everything being fun!
Salut, je m'appelle Angie. I on the other hand learnt French from scratch and I am so passionate about finding fun and easy ways to teach it to young learners. I lived in Paris for several years where I obtained a degree from the Sorbonne University. I qualified as a teacher from Exeter University and have over 14 years' experience teaching in England, Ireland and France. I also hold a DALF C2 (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française). I have two daughters who have been such a huge part of getting Mimi's French Classes perfect for young learners.
Together we have created a wonderful, effective and natural way of teaching children and their families. We hope you all get as much enjoyment from Mimi's as we do.
