Absolutely! Many of the children who join Gujutots have little or no experience of speaking Gujarati at home. Our classes are designed to help children learn Gujarati from scratch, using songs, games, stories and fun, interactive activities.We focus on building vocabulary, understanding and conversational confidence, encouraging children to use Gujarati naturally rather than simply memorising words. Children learn at their own pace, and you don't need to speak Gujarati yourself to support their learning.A little practice at home can make a big difference, and we provide resources to help families continue learning between classes.

Absolutely! This is very common, especially among children growing up in English-speaking environments. Many children understand Gujarati when their parents or grandparents speak to them, but naturally respond in English because it's the language they're most comfortable using.At Gujutots, we focus on building children's confidence in speaking Gujarati, not just understanding it. Through fun, interactive activities, games, conversations and role-play, we encourage children to use the Gujarati words and phrases they already know, gradually building towards longer sentences and more natural conversations.Our aim is to make speaking Gujarati feel enjoyable and natural, rather than something children are pressured to do. With regular encouragement and opportunities to practise, children can become more confident and willing to speak Gujarati both in class and at home.

At Gujutots, our main focus is on helping children understand and speak Gujarati confidently in everyday situations. Through songs, games, stories and conversations, children build their vocabulary and gradually learn to form sentences and communicate in Gujarati.We also introduce children to the Gujarati alphabet and written language through age-appropriate activities, particularly in our older age groups. However, our priority is developing conversational Gujarati rather than formal reading and writing skills.Our aim is for children to feel comfortable using Gujarati naturally, whether they're chatting with grandparents, talking about their day or having everyday conversations with family.

Learning Gujarati is like learning any other language – the more children hear and speak it, the easier it becomes.

Encourage your child to reply in Gujarati, even if it's just a few words to begin with.Practise conversations together. Ask simple questions and show your child how to answer, so they can repeat the phrases and gradually become more confident.Play games in Gujarati. Try the fun colours game on the Gujutots YouTube channel for example.Sing Gujarati songs together. For example, our bath song, Jhoom, Jhoom, Jhoom, is a fun way to learn body parts in Gujarati while getting ready for bath time!

Parents or guardians attend and join in alongside their child.Our online classes are for children aged 1–12 years, with separate classes for different age groups and abilities, ensuring that children learn Gujarati in a way that is engaging and appropriate for their stage of development.

Every child learns at their own pace, and how quickly they pick up Gujarati depends on their age, previous exposure to the language and how often they hear and practise it.Some children begin using simple Gujarati words and phrases quite quickly, while others take longer to develop the confidence to speak.

Absolutely! At Gujutots, we believe that learning Gujarati is about much more than just learning a language. It's also about connecting children with their heritage, culture and traditions.Throughout the year, we explore Gujarati festivals and celebrations such as Navratri, Diwali and Uttarayan through songs, stories, crafts and fun activities. Children learn about the meaning behind these celebrations while developing their Gujarati vocabulary.We also celebrate festivals and occasions from other cultures and religions, including Christmas, Easter and Chinese New Year. This gives children the opportunity to learn about different traditions and cultures, while continuing to develop their Gujarati language skills.Our aim is to make learning Gujarati a fun and meaningful experience that helps children connect with their heritage while appreciating the diverse world around them.

Absolutely! We understand that every child is different, and some children need a little more time to feel comfortable speaking in a group.At Gujutots, we create a friendly, relaxed and encouraging environment where children can learn at their own pace. Through songs, games, stories and fun activities, we help children build their confidence gradually, without putting pressure on them to speak before they're ready.Some children are happy to join in straight away, while others prefer to watch and listen at first, and that's absolutely fine! As they become more familiar with the class, the teacher and the other children, we gently encourage them to participate and use their Gujarati.Our aim is for every child to feel included, supported and confident enough to have a go!
