My lessons focus on gradually increasing your exposure to the French language. We achieve this through conversations on various topics and by helping you make the best use of high-quality audio-visual content, such as films, TV series, and podcasts. Consuming good quality audiovisual content is one of the most effective ways to learn a language because it provides a mini immersion experience. By associating gestures with sounds and immersing yourself in the language, you begin to absorb French naturally, similar to how you learned your mother tongue.

I also incorporate books like Le Petit Nicolas, which I believe is excellent for learning French. Its playful and accessible writing style, along with its depiction of French culture—especially from the 60s—offers valuable insights that remain relevant today. Alongside typical exercises and personalized guidance, we’ll work on speaking, listening, reading, and writing to build your confidence and fluency. Try a lesson with me to unlock the language, culture, and media of the Francophone world, and soon you'll be navigating Francophone settings with ease—unlike Emily in Emily in Paris!
