Barrier Fanny

I have over 10 years of experience teaching languages.
A one-hour lesson will often look like this:

Beginners:
- 15 to 20 minutes of pronunciation and phonetics : learning the alphabet and the different combination of letters, the different sounds.
- Listening to a basic dialogue or practising reading a text, learning common expressions and phrases
- One grammar / conjugation notion (French conjugations are difficult and require a lot of time and personal investment)
- Exercises and examples to memorize

I usually give homework and I like my students to be proactive.
Phonetics is a prerequisite to being independent in your learning. Indeed, in French a lot of letters are mute, and a lot of letters are combined to create new sounds. To be able to read properly, you need to practise some phonetics with me first. It might sound annoying but it's a non-negotiable in my opinion, and based from my own personal experience.

Advanced:
- 30 minutes of conversation on a topic
- 30 minutes of grammar if the student needs to work on a specific notion.

In my classes, we make mistakes to be able to learn!

Over the years, I have created a lot of high quality class material that is adapted to all ages and all levels. I use a French grammar book, YouTube sometimes, exercises, pictures and more.

Feel free to me to let me know your goals and requirements, and I would be happy to help you in your journey to learn French!
