Frequently asked questions

Yes, the courses take place on the ZOOM platform.

All you need is a computer or tablet with a good Internet connection to follow the courses and “travel around France” for a summer 🏖️

Every day, from Monday to Friday, you have 2.5 hours of French lessons (2 x 1.15 hours) in the morning or afternoon (depending on your preferences).

During lessons, you learn and revise grammar and vocabulary according to your level – A1/A2 or B1/B2 – and according to a theme linked to summer in France: travel, leisure, gastronomy…

You also learn to communicate in French in everyday situations such as: going to a restaurant, shopping, booking a hotel…

Classes are organized around practical exercises, role plays, and pair work.

Finally, every Friday, you have a test to validate everything you learned during the week.

YES 😀 I get ALL the students talking! This is why group classes are limited to 10 people.

The live online lessons with me are entirely devoted to oral practice of the language and take place in a caring and warm atmosphere.

My goal is to allow you to communicate in French quickly, easily and with complete confidence.

Each A1/A2 and B1/B2 level lasts 8 weeks.

Both levels start on July 08 and end on August 30.

You can choose to do 2 consecutive weeks, 4 consecutive weeks or 8 weeks (the whole program).

There are 2 levels to choose from:

  • A1/A2 for beginners
  • B1/B2 for intermediates

The program is progressive: the first 4 weeks correspond to levels A1 and B1 respectively, and the last 4 weeks correspond to levels A2 and B2.

At level A1, you are discovering French, know only a few words and have difficulty communicating.

At level B1, you can communicate your needs in French and understand a simple discussion.

Even if your level is A2 or B1+/B2, you can still take weeks 1 to 4 of the program! Choose the weeks that interest you according to the program themes (see program above).

You can choose from 3 packages:

  • 2 consecutive weeks: 375 € for 25 h (15€/h)
  • 4 consecutive weeks: 600 € for 50 h (12€/h)
  • 8 weeks (the whole course): 800 € for 80 h (10€/h)

Payment must be made before the first week of classes.

If the student has already taken at least one week’s course, there will be no refund for that week. Remaining weeks will be refunded on a pro-rata basis.

Course payments are made securely by SEPA bank transfer (tax-free in Europe) or PayPal (+20 €).

For 4- and 8-week packages, it is possible to pay in 2 or 3 instalments.

You can register until July 1.

But beware! Places are limited to 10 people per group, don’t waste time registering.

Yes and no 😅

You can only do 2 or 4 weeks (not all 8 weeks of the program).

BUT the 2 or 4 weeks must follow each other! For example, you can choose the 2-week option and do weeks 6 and 7 of the A1/A2 program.

Or do weeks 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the B1/B2 program.

Yes 🎁

  • If you choose the 2-week package, I’ll refund €25 per person invited.
  • If you choose the 4-week package, I’ll refund €50 per person invited.
  • If you choose the 8-week package, I’ll refund €80 per person invited.

When you register, don’t forget to enter the e-mail address of the person(s) you’re inviting in the “Referral” section.

Note that the people you invite must also complete the form for themselves.

If you think you’ll miss just a few lessons, the price is still right.

What’s more, your teacher will send you a daily presentation of the course and the answers to the exercises.

If you’re completely unavailable at the times proposed, the classic group courses (2 x 1h30 per week) may be of interest to you.
