    Lower Intermediate (4 weeks course - events 1 to 4)

    This is a lower intermediate level (A2-B1) course, therefore you need a basic knowledge of French and we will be speaking both English and French. During the event, I will help you with any questions or doubts you may have.

    This is a great opportunity to practice French in a relaxed space, make mistakes, ask questions, and have fun!

    During these events, I will be discussing commonly used conversational phrases as native French people use them. I have gathered these sentences with much attention. You will definitely use them whenever you go to a French-speaking country or encounter a French national!

    Lesson 1: verb in conditional form - using "had better", "it seems...", "I almost ..." and alike;

    Lesson 2: the tense " Past continuons = imparfait";

    Lesson 3: daily reactions;

    Lesson 4: vocabulary & commonly used conversational phrases.

    I look forward to meeting you!

These sessions are best for travelers and those who wish to learn basic and useful conversations without worrying about grammar. These conversations take place in public and common spaces such as shops, hotels, restaurants, streets, etc., and therefore it can be said that they include the most used sentences for conversation. During each lesson, a fast and native pronunciation of some sentences will be introduced as well. The purpose of these sessions is not to teach grammar, but in general, to teach conversational language in everyday situations so you can either learn them or memorize them because they are very useful. This event is for beginner and intermediate learners who are somewhat familiar with the basics of French language, however complete beginners are also welcome if they can catch up.

    Learn French in an interactive and efficient way!
    Hello! I am French, born in Burgundy and I grew up between Burgundy and Paris. Experienced teacher, I gave many courses at the Alliance Française, embassies, companies, universities and private lessons. I propose you energetic courses and corresponding to your needs. Through theater training, I can help you develop your skills in this language in a very interactive way. In private lessons or via a webcam, you will be surprised at your progress! I can give you general or specialized French courses (professional, exam preparation ...) but still with a very specific purpose (visit to France, contact with a school ...). Do not hesitate to contact me.

    Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, 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.

    Translations for private, business and school use
    I am a Translator-Interpreter and have worked in marketing for an American Petroleum Company for 25 years. My knowledge of languages was very crucial. After my husband's premature death I did replacements but after a while I started giving private language lessons. I spoke French until I was six.
