Hola! The benets to children

of learning a second language

To fnd out more about pre-school Spanish lessons, contact Berwick Road Day Nursery

on 0151 339 2700 or visit www.berwickchildcare.co.uk

IT’S amazing when you seen peoplefrom foreign countries who canspeak English with ease. And it’sannoying when you try to learnFrench or Spanish at evening classes but struggle to make any headway.So what’s the secret? Well it is

widely believed that i you startlearning a second languagerom a very young age you willremember so much more.Te benefts o your child

learning a second language atpre-school age can be huge.Not only will they be able to

learn the language quickerand easier but it is alsobelieved that it improves memory and inormation retention as well as leading to higher resultsat school.Many schools these days are

opting to teach Spanish ratherthan French because it is thethird most common language inthe world, spoken in much o the Americas as well as in Europe. At Berwick Road Day Nursery, Clare Moorehas taken on the task o teaching the youngstersSpanish.

She has achieved great success so ar by usingvisual aids, music, culture and ood to inspire thechildren.Helen Cartwright, who runs the nursery, said:

“It’s great to hear the children counting up to 10in Spanish ater just a couple o lessons.“Pre-school is the best time or a chidl to start

learning Spanish. In act they will be learning asecond language without even knowing!”

ANDREW Holrod sas:

“People often ask “what

are m rights?” when

what the reall mean is “what should I

do?”.And there’s no set answer to that.

Each person’s problem and options are

different.”you will need to consider whether ou’re

likel to win, how much ou’re likel to

win, and what it’s going to cost ou.

Andrew Holrod sas: “When ou’ve

considered the answers to these three

things, the sensible course of action

starts to become apparent. But ou’ve

also got to consider whether ou’re willing

to ght.

you should also make sure ou’re taking

action for the right reasons, not simpl

seeking vengeance, seeking what’s

best for ou - and not what’s worst for

the emploer. you should also consider

what’s best for ou in the wider picture of

our career and reputation.”

If ou do want to take our complaintto an emploment tribunal ou must

normall do this within three months

of the date of the events ou are

complaining about.

However, this deadline may be extendedin special circumstances. If our claim is

about redundanc paments, ou have

six months to take it to the tribunal.

Andrew Holrod sas: “The longer ou

leave a problem, the harder it is to solve”.

If ou have an emploment problem

that ou’d like to discuss with a solicitor,
