In the pre-schooling curriculum, it is specified that the child is allowed in pre-schooling to obtain familiarity with the city’s A1 languages, which are English, German, French and Russian, via language showering. This way children become acquainted with foreign languages before choosing the first foreign language – the A1 language – which is selected in the first class. The A1 language is chosen for the first class in connection with registration.
