Never learned French before? Or have you forgotten most of what you learned at school? In this package, you will lay a solid foundation step by step. You don't need to know anything: we really start from scratch. After this package, you will be able to introduce yourself, order on a French terrace, talk about your family, and make an appointment. You will hold simple conversations about everyday topics, and you will understand the French when they speak calmly and clearly.
This is how I work
My lessons are built on what research says about effectively learning a language:
- Speak from the first lesson. You say your first French sentences as early as lesson 1.
Pronunciation from day 1. Every lesson covers a few sound rules, such as nasal sounds, the French r, and the liaison. This way, you build good habits right away.
- Useful sentences instead of individual words. You learn combinations that the French actually use, such as Je voudrais... and Tu es libre samedi?
- Quiz yourself instead of rereading. Every lesson contains exercises without cheat sheets; this way, the material sticks better.
- Smart repetition. Each lesson begins with a brief review of the previous lessons, and you receive a review schedule.
I explain everything in Dutch so that you never get stuck. As you progress, we use more and more French.
