familiarize with English and understand it as a means of communication with other people and
put the foundations of a foreign language in a natural way as they learned to speak their mother tongue.

Primary school

Contact with the English language starts at the 1st grade with Pre-Junior level and ends in the 6th grade at the Senior C level.
