Learn French in the city center of Bern

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Instead of following classical teaching methods, I prefer the link, the meeting between two people who learn while talking normally. The themes will be those that the student chooses, according to his immediate needs. From everyday vocabulary to a more literary one, including hobbies, politics, sports, etc .; we will go in the direction that will indicate the student so that he feels at ease and can learn the language of Molière in a soothing and familiar.

Passionate about history, literature, politics, philosophy and religion, following the daily news, we can freely address an incalculable number of themes, those you want

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
At university, I studied Italian in Bordeaux and Siena (Italy), theology and philosophy in Friborg (Switzerland). I learned Hebrew during a three-year stay in Israel. Self-taught and very independent, I was able to learn it without going to a classroom, which allows me to teach it today in an international language school. I teach both Modern Hebrew and Ancient Hebrew

Experience / Qualifications

I read and I live a lot, which allows me to write also: I am the author of a book released in 2017 under the following name: "For the love of the little French rest", book of 400 pages dealing with the situation politics in France.
I have also written for a Swiss monthly, Le Petit Chablais, and I am a columnist for a French radio station.
Finally, I am a French and Hebrew teacher in an international language school in Bern.

My teenage son enjoyed the lessons with Silvain. It was fun for my son. He appreciated that Silvain encouraged him to speak French for a whole hour, even though my son has little experience.
Sylvain helps me to better understand French, which I don't understand at school. He also helps me learn grammar early on, which is very helpful. My French vocabulary would be much smaller without Sylvain and I can only thank him for that. He is the best French tutor I have had and I have had several. Sylvain is an excellent French teacher who teaches with a lot of passion, joy and competence. It is an excellent help from A1-2 up to B1-2, in my experience. Without Sylvain, my language level in particular would be weaker. Despite my knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, I always held back when the opportunity to speak arose. But since I met Sylvain and after many French lessons, I no longer have any concerns about using my oral French, which isn't so bad anymore. I can only be grateful to him for all the time he invested - at a great price - into my teaching and improvement. My main goal now is to transform my somewhat unsteady oral French into something more fluent. I have no doubt that with Sylvain's support I will achieve this goal soon.

Was a great hour of non-stop French! Exactly what I needed and wanted. He moved the conversation through interesting topics and most importantly corrected me when I made (many) mistakes!
Very good teacher, gives valuable advice.

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

Succeed in the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Private preparation sessions | [IN LINE]
My name is Fawzi, and I am a French language teacher. Since 2012, I have been giving private lessons online. My objective is to support learners towards success in the DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) or the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), as well as the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have had the pleasure of helping many students of different nationalities through my online courses. For me, helping enthusiasts practice the French language is an enriching experience, because I understand the importance of success in the lives of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. During my classes, I explain concepts in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your preference. At the end of each session, I offer exercises to do as homework, in order to identify your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some essential points to know about the DELF and DALF: - The DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two high-quality official diplomas. They are aligned with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and cover the following six levels, from the most basic to the most advanced: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. - The DELF B2 and, increasingly, the DALF C1, provide access to French, European or French-speaking universities, as well as certain Grandes Ecoles. If you plan to take DELF or DALF exams, or if you want to improve your level, do not hesitate to book your sessions with me to start preparation. I am available !

Learn French with a French-speaking teacher, 7 days a week
Hello to all of you! I welcome you to my profile. You would like to learn French and I would also like to teach you French. Fortunately, French is my native language. I live in Brussels where I have taught many French courses to French speakers and also to non-French speakers in the framework of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), mostly face-to-face and also some distance learning. I want to expand the use of distance learning. Hence my presence on this site. My greatest wish is to help you make as much progress as possible in French. To this end, I use a judicious combination of oral and written exchanges. I use these conversations to introduce grammatical concepts and expand your vocabulary. All this in a fun and friendly atmosphere! You will have to express yourself a lot in French, because my level of Dutch is average. In fact, I speak it at a "normal" pace, but with a more limited vocabulary and expressions than yours. This may seem a little frustrating at first, but it is a real benefit to you as it forces you to express yourself in French as much as possible! It's all in your favor! Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start a fruitful cooperation.

🖐🏻 HI, SALUT, MERHABA! 🖐🏻 How are you doing? Comment allez-vous? Nasılsınız? Thanks for having a look at my profile! Here is the pathway we will follow in our lessons! We will start our lessons by learning the most basic skills such as correct pronunciation and simple grammar rules. We will continue to improve our speaking, listening and grammar levels by learning new informations step by step. Based on my 13 years of experience, I think that A1 level is a very important period in language learning. When learning any language, beginner level students should learn it in the correct order and important details should be explained well by practising previous ones. Students at more advanced levels, such as A2, B1 or above, also need to practice their skills at the previous level thoroughly to improve their language skills. I try to provide good teaching by paying attention to these important points in my lessons. I keep our lessons' notes in a word file. After our lessons, I send you back all the additional notes and exercises that we covered in our lesson as a Word file.
