Culturefrog
Jenny Clark
and Stéphane Rival
Jenny is from Scotland and Stéphane is French.
As parents of a bilingual child, speaking only their respective
languages, they soon realised that transmitting languages was more about
stories, songs and games rather than learning by rote. An idea for sharing this
began to take form and two years later they moved to Scotland and Culturefrog
came into existence.
Both members of Disclosure Scotland's PVG Scheme,
they developed First Steps in French for very young children (0 - 5 years) and
their families. This is a perfect age to start playing with another language, Stéphane only
speaks in French and children quickly assimilate this and make the language
connection. Culturefrog's sessions have enabled Jenny and Stéphane
to channel and develop their passions for learning through creative play,
crafting, singing and storytelling.
