French - Beginner
This course is ideal for:
… those with a bit of prior knowledge of French who have forgotten a great deal but not the basics and who don’t need to go back to the very beginning but who certainly don’t want to go straight in with anything that seems too technical! It would also be suitable for people who have self-taught with books or mobile phone apps up to a certain point but who now feel that they could do with ‘the human touch’ to get a bit further.

Since my first of many twinning exchange trips to the Loire Valley in my teens, I have always loved the French language, culture and people (and of course the food and drink too). As part of my university studies, I spent eight months in Lorraine on the border with Belgium and Luxembourg and four months in the city of Lyon. Before becoming a licencee with Language for Fun, I taught for twelve years in secondary schools, including one in Zambia near the border with French-speaking Congo. I have had many adventures in many Francophone countries where my language 'skills' have both saved the day AND got me into a bit of hot water! Let me use MY cringeworthy past experiences of making hilarious mistakes save YOU from doing the same.
When I am not teaching languages (I speak German and a Spanish too), I enjoy swimming and walking but I am particularly passionate about the performing arts; I think you will be able to tell this when you meet me! I look forward to meeting YOU!
