- Error as Opportunity: Mistakes are our stepping stones to correction and deeper understanding.
- Post-Class Resources:
- Comprehensive Recaps
- Relevant Vocabulary & Expressions
- Engaging Podcasts, Short Videos, and Rules for Easy Memorization
You will learn in context, through conversations. I’m not in favour of learning rules by heart but through your « mistakes » I will correct with the right pronunciation or I will explain the rules.
I will send you resources and recaps after each class with the vocabulary and expressions we have studied that you can review and learn at any time (rules/podcasts/short videos…). It is easier to memorize because you will remember our conversation and you will be able to use them in your everyday life.
The classes are tailor-made. You tell me what you like doing, why you need to speak French (work? leisure? integrate?), your preferences (conversation/listening/writing…).
Last but not least: I will also give some clues about the French culture, the dos and don’ts for a better integration.
The classes last one hour.
Learning has to be fun. It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes, you will learn throughout time and improve until you are completely fluent if you live in the country or at least be able to understand and enjoy the art de vivre à la française.
