French Beginners 1 Course in Cowbridge with Madame Sian El

Brilliant experience!

What a brilliant experience! I have thoroughly enjoyed my beginners class with Sian-El (Chanel). She makes it so much fun and we all participate with laughter and enjoyment.

Well paced with good content

The course moves at a really good pace, not too fast but nor is it too repetitive/slow. The variety of content is really good, with a great mix of different scenarios, vocabulary etc. Sian-El is a lovely teacher, very good fun and patient in equal measure. Very much looking forward to Beginners 2!

Lots of fun

Lots of fun. Got a lot better at feeling comfortable recognising spoken French - and more confident at holding ice-breaking conversations. Our 'host' was excellent, patient, clear and very understanding that learning at our age (50+), can be challenging. Most enjoyed the speaking parts of the lessons. Fun and well worth the time. Hopefully the next course will build on what we've learnt.

Highly recommend

I am recently retired and was nervous about learning a new language at my age! Sian Elin was very welcoming and I felt at ease. The class was a mixture of ages and abilities, so I felt a bit of an underdog. Everybody encouraged me and helped me and made me feel a part of the class. The classes are fun, informative and there is no pressure with any exams at the end. I would 100% recommend these classes as they are a brilliant stepping stone to learn a new languge at a steady pace.

Fun and interesting

I am really enjoying the French classes with Sian El. I find the mixture of 'learning' and conversation a very good balance. I also like SianEl's teaching style, it's fun and interactive. The class time flies by and my head is so full of French afterwards! Thanks very much.

Well paced

Sian Elin is a very good teacher. She makes the lessons fun through lots of interactions. The lessons are at a good pace. To have access to the website is really helpful to recap everything learnt during the lesson. Highly recommend.

Learning is easy

Week three already and great fun. Learning is easy and writing what you have learned is easier than you think.

It's FUN!

I have found the class to be most informative and most enjoyable. Our teacher, Sian Elin, is very warm, explains each lesson so well and has been altogether very pleasant. I have found this introduction to French really good, and, as it states, FUN!!

Helps to build confidence

Have really enjoyed French lessons with Sian-Elin. She makes the lessons fun and relaxed, is patient and supportive, really helping to build confidence. The course and online material is well-structured and accessible. I look froward to the lessons and hope to continue on to the next level with Sian-Elin.
