French - Improver
This course is ideal for:
someone who is relatively confident with the basics and their grasp of grammar, who wishes to improve their speaking skills and fill in the gaps with their knowledge of French.
Following the Improvers 1 class “et vous”, this course will help consolidate the various French past tenses and help you gain more fluency. This course is suitable for learners who have studied the language before and are comfortable with the present and future tense. We will continue to build your vocabulary and start talking about the past, drawing inspiration from our real lives.

-Using adverbs of time (every year, most of the time)
-Using prepositions (in, on etc)
-Using strong pronouns (me, his, her etc)

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. 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.
Sometimes at home, if we don't want the kids to understand something, we speak in German to each other but unfortunately the kids manage to get the jist of it. We need to learn another "secret language"! On my list is Portuguese and Polish but I haven't started yet.
