You manage fine in French, but conversations still feel stilted. You search for words, the French speak just a little too fast, and expressing your opinion is not yet easy. In this package, you work on speaking fluently and confidently. After this package, you will hold longer conversations, talk about your experiences, explain things, and give your opinion. You will also understand more and more of spoken French.
This is how I work
In this package, the emphasis shifts from learning sentences to actually using the language:
- Conversations take center stage. Each lesson includes an extensive discussion on a topic that appeals to you.
- Listen to real French. We use short podcasts, videos, and news clips so you get used to the pace of native speakers.
- Targeted feedback. I pay attention to the mistakes you often make and give you a few concrete points for improvement per lesson.
- Grammar where you need it. We cover new tenses and constructions the moment they pop up in your conversations.
- Smart repetition. New words and expressions reappear in subsequent lessons so that they remain active.
The lesson is largely in French. Where an explanation in Dutch is faster or clearer, I switch.
