Having lived abroad, I know that the most important thing isn't just grammar, but daring to speak confidently, understanding the culture, and navigating everyday life.
My classes are specifically designed for people who want to live in France and need to feel confident in all aspects of everyday life: administrative tasks, schooling for their children, culture and customs, and everyday communication.

The biggest obstacle is often the fear of making mistakes, of sounding ridiculous, of not finding the right words. My goal is to help you break through that barrier so that speaking French becomes natural, fluent, and confident.

Why are my classes different?
They're in-person (at the Retiro Park or at home), because learning face-to-face changes your energy. Plus, everything feels better when you're moving and in a pleasant environment.

What we will work on together:
- Real-life conversations and culture: ordering in a restaurant, talking on the phone, integrating into a group.
- Daily life in France: administrative procedures, schools if you have children, cultural habits, what you really need to settle in.
- Confidence and fluency: speaking without fear of making mistakes.

My methodology:
- Practical and realistic, always based on authentic situations.
- Dynamic and motivating: role-playing games, interaction, moving activities,
- Digital support: exercises on Kahoot or other websites to review at home.
- Clear and useful grammar: just what is necessary, applied practically.
- personalized feedback (with my experience as a language teacher, I know if you have an A1/A2/B1 level...)

You'll only need a notebook and a pen to write down the essentials of each class.

My goal: for you to speak French with confidence, enjoy the process, and feel ready to live in France, work, or simply learn for pleasure.
