Why is it important 
for learning French to be a pleasure for you?...

Because pleasure is one of the most important motivation factors! The exercises that help you learn French must be done of your own free will and not by obligation. When you enjoy doing something, you don’t hesitate to dedicate time for this activity, throwing yourself into it body and soul. It’s absolutely necessary for learning any langue, as it is for learning French. There are numerous methods, techniques, software packages and books which can certainly help you learn, but they can’t learn French for you!  It’s up to you to find the time and energy to study, repeat, repeat and repeat again…  

And isn’t all that easier if you take pleasure in it? If you enjoy it you will succeed and make rapid progress in French.


How can this be done?

- be curious! The more you learn, the more things you know, the more you know, the            better you understand subtleties of the language, the more French becomes interesting. 

- study French for your own motivation

- identify the right French teacher to accompany you, because an enthusiastic teacher will transmit not just their knowledge but also their enthusiasm.

- work with amusing exercises and techniques to get you to think and progress in French.

- chose the right method – if you learn French in an effective way you will be able to make immediate use of your knowledge → you will see that what you are learning is useful → it will give you lots of motivation!

- be in good form when you learn French – tiredness obstructs your memory and ability to assimilate.

- be patient: learning French is done in stages, step by step. Moving forward progressively is the key to long-term success. 

- if French is not interesting in itself…discover the culture that lies behind! Whether it is French gastronomy, music, literature, cities, history of France that interests you, dive in! While looking for information you will begin to read in French without even realising it…. And why not go even further? Let’s suppose that you are interested in gardening… then start looking for information on your favourite subject in French… you will be motivated to learn, understand and even to learn the words by heart!


The recipe is simple:

French lessons are based on your needs ⟼ you take an interest in the subjects and the chosen method ⟼ you enjoy taking part in the lessons ◕‿◕

Why choose a native speaker for your teacher rather than a non native speaker?




You are learning French? You are having trouble choosing between a native-and a non native speaker?

Our school offers French lessons Online on Skype and here are the reasons why we work with native-speaking teachers:


They have…

- perfect mastery of the French language
- an authentic accent
- a linguistic and cultural background that is difficult to acquire for a non native speaker
- an understanding of the problems encountered by pupils learning French grammar… they analyse these problems and always provide a satisfactory explanation
- a better understanding of the French language, for example for subtleties such as irony, sarcasm, formal address, etc.
- a better understanding of the meaning of expressions in French: in which situation to use them, for what purpose, to whom?


Advantage + :
There is no question of whether to speak French or another language during the lesson: speaking French is automatic, which accelerates learning of the language and fluency comes very quickly.




Six reasons for learning French Online on Skype



If you learn French Online on Skype:

- you are in regular contact with a native French speaker. It is the best way to learn French, but you know that it is not easy to find a native-speaking teacher in your environment, and in addition one who is competent, but here is the solution: learn French on Skype and converse with a native speaker at any time of the day… and from anywhere you want!

- you no longer need to travel to attend your French lesson. You no longer waste time and specially you save money! All you have to do is find a quiet spot with an Internet connection and your French lesson on Skype can begin!!

- you have your French lesson on Skype whenever you want!  Our French teachers are available between 8AM and 8:30PM, so you are sure to find a moment that suits you. You no longer have to adapt to school timetables, you learn when you want!

- Online French lessons are cheaper than those in a language school or with a private tutor who comes to your home, so that you also save money.

- If your learn French on Skype you can attain exactly the same proficiency as with a traditional course. Let’s see how:

1. You can see your teacher: that makes your French lesion more personal, which also is important for comprehension! If you look at someone’s face, you understand what they are saying much more easily (on the telephone it’s difficult). Seeing the person is important also for imitating the movements of their mouth, which helps you considerably in improving your French pronunciation.

2. You can hear your teacher: if you have earphones and a good Internet connection you can hear your French teacher better than from the back of the classroom in a language school. This is fundamental for the music of the French language to penetrate your ears.

3. You can also communicate in writing: on the “chat” space on Skype you can write whatever you want during your French lesson. Doing exercises, writing examples, doing corrections, reviewing the lesson, making comments, sending questions to your teacher… on the “chat” all that is possible! You have even more facility for direct communication with your teacher than in a class. 

4. And how do you find the subjects to work on for your written comprehension? It’s easier than you thought. Just imagine the tons of documents in French that are available on the Internet! Articles, novels, all kinds of written material, current affairs, poems, etc, etc… You have only to ask your teacher to send you the links to the relevant subjects and you can begin reading in French.

- last but not least: you have fun learning French on Skype! Our teachers are very friendly and helpful. They are there to make learning easy and enjoyable for you. The methods and subjects that we offer are relevant and interesting. We give you the opportunity to talk about what interests you, because we believe that
