Beginner Conversational French (Speaking, reading, listening, and writing)

Welcome to beginner French!

My name is Nicole and I am a certified French teacher from Canada. I am currently living in Groningen, Netherlands.
I learned French as a student in Canada and pursued a job teaching French as a second language in the public school system where I worked as a teacher for thirteen years.

The course will be carefully structured to meet your individual needs and goals. I will assess your current level of French proficiency, identify areas of improvement, and tailor the curriculum accordingly. Whether you aspire to master conversational skills, improve your grammar, or become familiar with French culture, I will create a customized learning plan just for you.

By the end of the beginner French course, you can expect to have a solid foundation in French pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and basic conversational skills. You will feel confident navigating everyday situations in French-speaking environments and possess a strong basis for further language development.

The base language of instruction will be English. I can understand spoken Dutch if this is the language in which you prefer to speak.

Extra information

Please bring a notepad and pencil or pen, or if you prefer a laptop. Keep in mind that French writing involves accented letters which are important to the meaning of the words. If you are unfamiliar with accented letters on a computer keypad, we can learn them. This does, however, take time away from learning other things.

Célia
French student giving french classes for everyone :)
Hoi hoi! My name is Célia, I am a 21 year old student from France (Paris) and next year I'll be doing a master's degree in international commercial law in Groningen. I've already done a lot of homework help, and I know a lot of Dutch are learning French. That's why I can help you, whether it is to overcome difficulties or simply to perfect your language skills. Thanks to my previous experiences, I know how important it is for each person to have tailor-made lessons and a specific method. I am currently learning Dutch, but my lessons will be given in English and in French (mostly). I obtain a C1 level with the IELTS. I already teach French to my Dutch boyfriend, so I understand the differences between the two languages that can cause difficulties The first lesson will be used to assess your level and let me know what your objectives are, as well as see if the different methods I use are right for you! I live in a large student house in the south of Groningen, so you can come and study at my place. I can also travel and give video lessons (as a complement, as I find that we are more effective face-to-face). I'll be in Groningen from August to July 2024. See you soon :) Célia

Kevin
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.

French private lessons: Language and communication [ONLINE]
I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish. I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice. During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps. And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level. Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.

French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.
French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master. My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.

Nestor
English, French, translation, academic support and homework help courses
English, the language of business, and French, the language of diplomacy, are two of the most important international languages on the planet. I use a teaching method that is based on the development of oral and written expression and production skills and adapts to the needs and objectives, availability and level of the learner.
