How do lessons work?

Accepted Answer

Once your first lesson is confirmed we will send you access to your online collaborative documents to work with your teacher + a Zoom or Skype invite through Google Calendar.  A typical lesson can include conversational development, reading, grammar keys, cultural insights, phonetics and sometimes games. Each student will be assigned homework that will reinforce previously learned material. Our content is aligned with the requirements from the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.  You have the option to prepare for the DELF, an internationally recognized French Language Proficiency Certificate awarded by France’s national Ministry of Education.  Each student is free to request to study a specific topic, our lessons are adaptive and our teachers are happy to make customized content.

Question 5

What are the levels and how many hours do I need to take?

Accepted Answer

For the casual learner, 1h weekly might be enough. However, if you have a specific goal, say you want to be ready for your trip to France coming up in a few months, you might want to consider taking  2x1h or 3x1h lessons weekly while immersing yourself in a French learning routine.  Why taking more lessons weekly? -The shorter gap between each lesson allows the brain to reactivate previously learned content and notions more effectively. -It makes learning French more immersive as it feels more present in your daily life. -You will reach a higher level in a shorter time frame compared to the same amount of hours spread over a longer time frame. -Faster results = higher motivation = happy learner.

Keep in mind before you start

Accepted Answer

Oh la vache ! You are getting closer to taking your first French lesson with us!  As teachers we guide you step by step towards your goal providing the strategies, tools and the emotional support necessary to help you build a healthy learning habit that will lead you to significant progress.   While it undoubtedly sound beautiful, French is not known to be the easiest language to learn. Often you will run into "exceptions" (and learn to hate that term).
