French - Beginner
This course is ideal for:
suitable for learners who have some basic knowledge of French, such as: counting, greetings, buying items or finding their way around a town. You will consolidate knowledge of the Beginners 1, 2, 3 courses and “oomph” your understanding of the present tense! By the end of this course you will have:
After having completed this level, learners typically move on to the Improvers 1 course.
Whilst you will not become fluent in French with only ten lessons, you will certainly gain enough confidence to start talking for about 10-15 minutes in French or longer, using everything you will have learned. This is a very useful course if you already know a bit of French, feel a bit rusty and would like to go over some basics, or whether you studied French a while ago and feel that you have forgotten everything.
The class is usually quite full so please get in touch if you are interested in attending: [email protected]

Bonjour/Ciao/¡Hola! I’m French-Italian and I speak Spanish. Growing up on the French Riviera near Italy sparked my love for languages. I studied Music and Languages then moved to the UK for 9 months, and several decades later, I'm still here!
After successfully using my languages in Banking and IT, I became a language teacher and have been teaching for the past 20+ years. I am cheerful, patient and enthusiastic. I am good at helping people of all levels overcome their fear of speaking a foreign language, focusing on building confidence and having fun.
Holidays are spent in France, Italy or Spain with my husband and our two boys, who are brought up bilingually in French but are also learning Spanish and Italian.
I sing in my spare time, walk the dog, look after friends' dogs and grow plants, usually fruit and veg. I love foraging so my children are used to eating "spinach" of dubious provenance. I also teach GCSE and A Level to whomever needs a boost with their exams.
