Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Native French speaker
Art History (BA in Art History and Archaeology, specializing in Prehistoric and Contemporary Art, in 1985), Archeology (MA in Art History and Archaeology, specializing in North African Rock Art, in 1986), both at the Sorbonne; Visual Anthropology and Film Studies (with Jean Rouch at Ecole Pratique des Hautes Études, in 1987), at M.Phil. level, at the University of Rennes 2, France (First Class Honors in History and Civilization, specializing in post-Byzantine frescoes related to donors and founders of the Holy Mountain of Mount Athos; in 1991 in Rennes 2 University (Prof Xavier Barral I Altet ), and in cooperation with the University of Thessaloniki (Prof Charalambidis)).
Jean-Michel Sourd was part-time lecturer at Hong Kong University (School of Professional And Continuing Education) from 2002-2015, designing new courses in Film Studies, which combines cinema history and arts theories. He incorporated his cross-disciplinary knowledge into teaching French as a Foreign Language in both Shanghai (1993) and Hong Kong (1993-2023)
After being Head of French Department (1993-2023) at Diocesan Boys'School, Hong Kong, he is now a pedagogical consultant in Bologna.
Sourd has acquired a multi-cultural approach towards arts and linguistics throughout the years. Coupled with the insight in ethno-anthropological and aesthetic theories, he often reframes art history and literature within an historical context. , his travel and besides intellectual encounter with the Mount Athos allow him to develop an analytic and synthetic mind; he is constantly pushing boundaries and finding ways into new research methodologies.

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.

Robert
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.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge, exploring new fields, and reading. I have 6 years of experience as a French teacher in the informal sector, notably as a tutor.

We will study French concepts such as vocabulary and grammar through exercises, speaking, and reading, in order to give you good language skills. This will improve your oral and written expression. Take a course so we can define your goals and establish a work plan. I have 6 years of experience as a French teacher, I hold a Master 2 in Physics and I am a Computer Aided Design engineer, I work with software such as Dialux, Autocad, Xlpro...
