Method: Learn French efficiently

Three conditions of the efficient French learning process

1.French student: center of the learning process

Every student is unique

We believe each student is unique. Everyone has his own speed of learning, his own level of experience, his own needs and his own motivation for learning French. After identifying our student’s specific environment, we start the learning process.

Each hour will be structured to achieve the best result and progress for the student within

his learning abilities. Texts, exercises, audio, video, and media apps will be utilized to facilitate the learning/teaching process. We find out student’s preferences, what he enjoys more and responds better during the class.

Every student is within a global level

My French teacher’s teaching methodology is based on the European framework of reference for Languages. It allows us to identify the student’s level from a larger perspective. Further, the progress and the work of the student is evaluated according this European reference level.

If a student stops for few years and get back in French classes later on, he will have references to start his learning again at the right level.

Plus, by reaching the different stage of the European framework level, student will be able to see and identify himself on a global scale. It is always relevant to be aware of his own level compared to a global worldwide perspective.
