Children start with basic words and everyday phrases, then build listening, speaking, pronunciation and vocabulary until they can hold a simple conversation. It happens through games, songs and talking — not grammar tables.
Your child’s first conversation
Brolly Juniors runs foreign language classes for kids in Hyderabad in Hindi, French, German, Spanish and Japanese, for ages 8 to 16. Beginner courses run for two terms, start with listening and speaking, and add script and grammar once children can already hold a short exchange. Batch availability depends on enrolment, so ask before enrolling.
This is the first question most parents ask, and it is the one we will not guess at.
Beginner courses in French, German, Spanish and Japanese open when a batch of at least four children forms at a similar level, which usually means one or two of them are running at any given time. Which ones depends on the term, the age group and demand — so the honest answer is to ask rather than to read a list that may be out of date.
Hindi is different. It runs year-round and has a programme of its own: Hindi classes for kids.
A note on the examples further down this page: the words shown are real and correct, but they are illustrations of how foreign language learning works — not a list of what is running this term. Please check availability before you plan.
A language different from the one a child normally speaks at home or at school — for a child in Hyderabad, usually something outside Telugu, Hindi and English.
That is what makes it different from the other language classes we run. A child learning Telugu or Hindi already hears it somewhere. A child learning a foreign language is starting from nothing, and the teaching has to account for that.
So listening comes before reading, speaking starts in the first session, and the script waits until the sounds are secure. A child who meets an unfamiliar alphabet before they can say anything usually decides the language is hard, and they are not wrong.
Languages children commonly learn include French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin. Those are examples of foreign languages, not a list of what runs here — ask us what is currently available.
Simple explanationA new language starts the same way for everyone: a greeting, a few nouns, and a phrase you can actually say to someone. Grammar comes much later, and for young children it barely comes at all.
Easy exampleA child learns three things — how to say hello, how to say their name, and how to ask someone else’s. That is enough for a real exchange, and most children can do it within the first few sessions.
At Brolly JuniorsListening and speaking come first; the script arrives once the ear is there. The same four phases are used for every language offered, so a child who finishes one knows exactly how the next will feel.
Pick a language, then a theme. Every word carries a pronunciation line, because a word a child cannot say is not yet a word they know.
bon-ZHOOR
hello / good day
sa-LU
hi (informal)
oh ruh-VWAR
goodbye
mair-SEE
thank you
seel voo PLEH
please
WEE
yes
These words are correct, and they are illustrations. Which languages are running this term is a question to ask us, not to read from a page.
Eight things a beginner course genuinely works on — none of which is “it will make them smarter”.
Children meet sounds that do not exist in the languages they already speak, and get used to producing them.
Following speech you only partly understand is a skill of its own, and it transfers.
Words in themes, learned with a picture and a phrase rather than as a list.
Everyone in the room is a beginner, which makes it an unusually easy place to try.
Recalling a word you learned last week is memory work with an immediate reward.
Festivals, food and everyday habits — the part that makes a language make sense.
A good accent and a few hundred words is exactly what makes a serious course succeed later.
Most children find a new language genuinely fun, which is reason enough at this age.
The same structure is used for every language offered, so a child who finishes one knows exactly how the next will feel.
Listening before reading. Greetings, names and numbers, said aloud until they are automatic.
Family, food, school, time — the topics a beginner can talk about within a month.
The writing system, introduced once the sounds are secure — Devanagari, accents or kana as the language requires.
Longer exchanges, past and future forms, and the cultural context that makes the language make sense.

An example of how a session flows. Ask us for the current class structure and batch detail.
Hearing the language before producing it, usually as a short song or exchange.
Six to eight words on one theme, each said aloud several times.
Pronunciation practice while the words are still new, which is when it is easiest to fix.
A short exchange using the new words, taken from both sides.
Word games and songs, which is how vocabulary gets repeated without it feeling like drill.
Once the phase reaches it — reading a line, writing a word.

Eight things that work even if you do not speak the language yourself.
New vocabulary fades quickly without review. Five minutes most days beats an hour once a week.
Say hello and goodbye in the new language. It costs nothing and it repeats daily.
Music carries pronunciation and rhythm better than any exercise.
You do not need to know the language. Being taught is the best possible practice for the child.
A sticky note on the door, the fridge, the mirror. Passive repetition, all week.
A cartoon they already know, in the new language, with subtitles off for two minutes.
Testing turns a language into a subject. Ask them to use it instead.
Clear is the goal, not native. A self-conscious child stops speaking.
Most children here already move between two or three languages before they meet a foreign one, which is a real advantage: they are used to the idea that the same thing has different names, and they are less self-conscious about an accent than an adult would be.
What they usually have not met is a language nobody around them speaks. That changes the teaching — everything has to be heard in class, because nothing is heard outside it.

Short, direct answers to the questions parents search for most.
There is no single best language. What matters more is whether your child is interested in it and whether they will get chances to use it. A language a child enjoys will be practised; one chosen only for its usefulness often is not.
Ask us. Beginner courses open when four children form a batch at a similar level, so usually one or two run at any time. A page that promised five languages year-round would be wrong twice a term.
Almost everyone is. No prior exposure is assumed, and greetings and everyday words come first.
Once the sounds are secure — usually the third phase. A child who can already hold a short exchange finds the script far easier than one who met it first.
Not in a term, and we do not sell that. A beginner course reliably produces a good accent, a working vocabulary of a few hundred words and the confidence to keep going.
We would not claim it. It gives children practice with new words, sounds, listening and memory, and many enjoy it a great deal. Anything beyond that depends on far too many other things to promise.
Tell us your child’s class and what they enjoy. We will suggest the closest program fit—no pressure and no upfront payment.
