I use your Primary level resources a lot for my younger students and they're amazing!

We use Babelzone on a daily basis throughout school from Reception to Year 6. We are delighted with the quality of the resources and the variety of activities, songs, stories and printables. The music soundtracks and recordings of native speakers are great and the site is very easy to navigate.The children have really enjoyed the stories, particularly Un Pollito! and La Jungla Cruel.
Babelzone has come to play a major part in our Spanish teaching and we encourage our children to use the site at home too.
