Babel Babies

Blah blah blah. We could go on and on about the benefits of learning languages with your children, because there are many - for both the adults and the children. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We could mention the long-term brain health benefits of trying to learn a new language (umm, potential five-year delay in dementia symptoms? Sign us up!) We could mention the bonding opportunities for parent and child, because conversation is an art that humans learn from their carers and it's a b...eautiful thing. BUT. Enough talking about it, just try it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Babel Babies has an entire week of FREE TASTER sessions coming up from 7th January, and spaces are filling up quickly in Bedminster, Long Ashton, Easton, Thornbury, and Cheltenham. Pop over to our website (click link in blue Book Now button) to sign up for a space because the benefits are massive, and it's a great way to meet new like-minded people too.
Tag someone you would like to try it with and fill your new year with new conversations!⠀⠀⠀

We had *such* a wonderful South American Christmas party today at The Elephant House in #Bedminster!
Muchas gracias to all the wonderful families who participated and who, by attending, donated money to CHICKS Country Holidays for Inner City Kids - a charity that helps children in less fortunate circumstances than our own enjoy some much-needed adventure away from their everyday lives. We are so proud to have this amazing community support our fundraising eff...orts today, and we can’t thank you enough.
Well done to Jen for organising such a fab event, and gracias Este Kitchen for the incredible Latin American food!
That’s it for 2018 sessions now! On with the family festivities! 😘🎄

GOOD MORNING!
This reminds us of the Polish saying, ‘Nie mój cyrk, nie moje małpy’ - not my circus, not my monkey!
🎪🐵
... Happy Saturday before Christmas!

Wowee! What a super team Christmas dinner at The Exmouth Arms last night. Just missing Jen and Helen, but we nearly had a full house of Babel Babes!
We had much talking to do, as you can imagine from a bunch of linguists. What is the collective noun for linguists I wonder...any suggestions?!
We are all looking forward to singing languages with you in 2019. Remember to sign up for your space before the sessions (and all the free tasters from 7th January) fill up!
... Thanks to The Exmouth for a lovely meal. 🎄

Hey there! Hola! Have you loved learning languages with Babel Babies this year? Please don't keep us a secret! It would be amazing if you could write us a Facebook review and help pass the word on (in any language you fancy) to other families who might love learning languages too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are expanding our timetable significantly in January - to several new #Bristol venues and the new School House Café sessions on Fridays - and this means we'd really appreciate your hel...p to get the message to anyone who is interested in finding a unique, fun and (cue trumpets) award-winning baby and toddler group to attend with their little ones. Maybe you know someone with a bump? Our Babel Babies sessions are suitable from newborn (or as soon as you feel like getting out and about) so please tag them here and let them know this: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Babel Babies is for parents as much as it is for children. Not only will we help get your family learning languages together, and give you plenty to talk about when you go home, but we will give adults who have lost (or never found) their language mojo the confidence to love languages too, and chance to meet like-minded parents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plus there is a whole week of FREE TASTERS from 7th January - do sign up for a space before the sessions fill up completely! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dontkeepussecret #babelbabies #spreadtheword #inanylanguageyoufancy #freetasters #bristol #cheltenham #longashton #bedminster #easton #thornbury #languagelearning Easton Community Centre Turnberrie's Community Centre Long Ashton Community Centre
