Key French phrases for the office environment. (How to make and understand basic office banter in French)

Do you have a job in the workplace but are unable to converse with your colleagues because they speak another language? This lesson may be for you! In the UK you would be staggered at the number of French businesses that have headquarters in the UK, with Michelin, Thales and Citrëon to bane just a few. This leads to many French employees working in these businesses. The trouble is how to engage with them in their native language.

This crash course will seek to address this issue as much as possible.

French work culture will also briefly be discussed and how it differs to the UK.

Phrases such as d'accord, on y va, and à bientôt will taught in this session, as well as regular verbs like manger and boire.

About Me

Hello, I am a TEFL certified linguistics teacher. I am based in Angmering, on the South Coast of England. I am a native speaker of English, which I have taught in various public schools across Spain, as well as remotely with numerous language academies. I have also worked in secondary schools in the UK at GCSE level for French and Spanish, whereby I earned my PGCE.

I have a wealth of passion for MFLs (Modern Foreign Languages), as they enable us to better understand cultures that are different to our own. As well as expanding our vocabularies in the process which enhances our understanding of our own language.

I am a caring, empathetic person who always relishes enhancing my pupils ability to use the language confidently with self-expression.

I look forward to meeting and conversing with anyone who wants to start their journey with a new language, or perhaps seeks to improve what understanding they already have.

The contrasts between two different things will be discussed in this session, with descriptions of two or more items being the focal point of the session. If you always wanted to use better descriptions when expressing yourself in English, this lesson might just be for you!
This session will discuss daily routines at school or work, as well as comparing and contrasting it with the week-end. We will use the days of the week to come up with your own routine from for each week. We will also learn some key vocabulary for this topic, such as tasks that could be performed, as well as practicing the present continuous.
This session will be centered around the purpose of the present continuous, how it should be used and when to use it. During this session we will focus on the formation of the tense, breaking down different sentences in order to better understand endings of words using -ing. Throughout the course of the lesson there will be a mix of production exercises, with a blend of both speaking and written tasks used. For example, an event of the daily events of a business worker will be looked at, with numerous continuous verbs used. At the end of the lesson, we will also begin to discuss the continuous action in the past and future.

Easy French lessons to improve your French so you can travel on your own.
I like to ask the students what they would like to learn from my lessons. What are their goals. I think it's really important to be on the same page, so we can work in the same direction together and it makes things easier. I can adapt easily to different kind of teachings. People are different and they don't always have the same way to learn. I can start from the basics (learning how to pronounce the letters right, feminine and masculine of words, grammar, verbs, etc.) I can only teach oral lessons if is what the person wants. I like working with a lot of examples and visuals.

Beatriz

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.
