We’ve been working with kids for over 12 years. How many of them do you think have ever said “ I love grammar”? Well, yes, you are right! None! I must be honest and admit that the word “grammar” has been epitome of long and arduous work, chores if you must, since ages. It has been provoking nothing but sense of boredness and aversion among learners. However, in the versatile world we live, education methods have evolved to a state where we  no more rely only, and unconditionally, on traditional teaching approaches. Moreover, students´ perception is what has made us come up with more integrated, context-basedRead More →

There are about 200 irregular verbs in English. We can divide these into four types: Verbs which have the same base form, past simple and past participle Verbs which have the same past simple and past participle Verbs which have the same base form and past participle Verbs which have a different base form, past simple and past participle An irregular verb is a verb in which the past tense is not formed by adding the usual -ed ending. A regular verb will change from present tense to past tense with the simple addition of -ed at the end. For example, “I walk” (present tense) becomes “I walked” (pastRead More →

There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.” Basic differences Vocabulary The most noticeable difference between American and British English is vocabulary. There are hundreds of everyday words that are different. For example, Brits call the front of a car the bonnet, while Americans call it the hood. Americans go on vacation, while Brits go on holidays, or hols. New Yorkers live in apartments, Londoners live in flats. There are far more examples than we can talk about here. Fortunately, people can usually guess the meaning through the context of a sentence. Grammar Collective nouns ThereRead More →

Is it good to start learning from an early age and if so who? Why? Main reasons! When is this study not recommended? All children are individuals who perceive the world around them in a different way. But one thing is common here – the language. The proper formation of language skills is essential for the right mental, emotional, and personal development of each child. From the time of birth until the child turns into an adult, it goes through certain periods of childhood. This process is characterized by changes in the morphological and physiological characteristics, behavior, household and social environment of the child. The ontogeneticRead More →

In our english summer camp at Lucky Kids, we offer Horse Back Riding for children in which is a good activity also for the coming summer for your young ones. From a physical development side, horse riding improves ‘’balance’’ and ‘’motor coordination’’. Hand-eye coordination, core strength and muscular development also benefit from horse riding. Horse riding has been shown to improve cognitive abilities in some children. Horses make wonderful childhood companions. Children are naturally attracted to them, and that makes horses a desirable alternative to TV-watching, Internet-surfing, or just “hanging out.” Riding offers much more than equestrian know-how. Here’s why horses can be a life-enhancing choice forRead More →

Children who are in the process of learning a second language will definitely benefit from attending an international language english summer camp presented in their newly acquired language. This is especially relevant if they are also taking formal classes and preparing for a language exam. Many students apply to summer schools or summer camps to have fun, but also to practice their new language skills. The benefits are more than mere language acquisition, they hear native speakers communicate in an informal situation, and get spoken to in the same natural way. Students experience and learn how to communicate naturally, instead of reciting formal phrases asRead More →

Often times, parents face a dilemma – whether to enroll their child in a camp. The thought of their child travelling somewhere all day frightens them, but the image of their kid being absent for a week or two, just terrifies them. Therefore questions arise: „Will the child cope on his own?“, „What if he/she gets sick?“,“What if he/she falls down and hurts himself“, „What if he/she gets lost“,“What if he/she is very sad and can’t sleep at night?” And so on. The questions that arise in the parents are so many that with each subsequent one their anxiety grows. And if the parents manageRead More →

Why do most children get stressed before going to a language camp? When we imagine a children’s camp, in our mind we see a picture of carefree games among green scenery. Yes, this is in fact the case, but often the period preceding the departure of the child to an English language camp  is accompanied by stress and anxiety, and lack of self-confidence. The stress and anxiety of children who are about to go to a summer language camp, is something completely normal and usual for most of the children. They find themselves in a new environment, away from home, and they meet many newRead More →

There is no doubt that the children‘s language camp has a number of benefits for children of different ages. Of course, no one can challenge the role of the school for a child. But unfortunately, not always the school classes are enough for the kid to learn a language. The school program follows a traditional educational model that doesn‘t work for every child and doesn’t include enough games and communication which children need. Some children require additional lessons for improvement of the English language level, which doesn‘t always help. The summer language camps provide an incredible opportunity for children to learn English language in aRead More →

How do children have fun while studying? The question of whether a child receives a good education in school is intriguing every parent. What to do, however, when our child experiences difficulties in the process of  studying English language? Unfortunately, the traditional educational system doesn’t help much every child to learn a foreign language. Every child memorizes the material with different speed and has a different duration of keeping the attention on it. Some children memorize when they are still in the classroom, while other need additional co-curricular work in order to learn well the material. Therefore, many parents are asking themselves how to helpRead More →
