Whether you’re visiting London, Berlin, or a resort in Spain, encourage your child to engage in conversations and document their experiences in English. It builds confidence, vocabulary, and cultural appreciation all at once, making your holiday both memorable and meaningful.

Bilingual Fun: Turning Your Family Holiday into a Language-Learning Experience
Traveling abroad is a perfect way to reinforce bilingual learning. Involving your child in everyday situations — ordering meals, asking for directions, reading signs — turns a regular trip into an immersive educational experience.
Rather than translating everything for them, encourage your child to try speaking in English (or the local language, if appropriate). They might make mistakes, but they’ll also gain confidence and fluency. Create a scavenger hunt using English vocabulary or have them keep a travel journal to practice writing skills.
Children who attend Wawel International Primary School often amaze their parents with how naturally they use English in real-life settings. This is thanks to our immersive bilingual curriculum and focus on practical language use. We emphasize communication, not just grammar drills, so that students feel comfortable expressing themselves in any context.
