Bonjour, je m’appelle Heather.
My personal language learning journey started in my early 20's, when I arrived in France, like a typical Brit, super scared of opening my mouth and with literally just a handful of words like maison, merci and baguette. I listened a lot, read comics and proceeded to learn the language in situ through immersion. As a result, I made all the hilarious mistakes that English speakers make when learning the language, so I'm perfectly situated to help you recognise them (and encourage you to accept their inevitability) but also to help you continue speaking when you do make mistakes. To remind you that perfection takes time and only comes with repeated attempts at communication, best accompanied by a smile. I smiled so much (from nerves) and I laughed laughed and laughed.
Upon my return to the UK in 2017, I looked for a teaching method that put the joy of learning the language at the very top of it's priority list as I had read about how we learn quicker when we are relaxed. Knowing from experience, that if I had picked up a grammar book when I had arrived in France, I would have never dared to try so as Language For Fun focuses on communication over perfection I knew that it was the teaching method for me. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
So, after 22 years in France, completely submerged in French culture and rarely speaking English, I set up the Guildford and Godalming branch of Language For Fun, to teach the language that I love, to adults in small, sociable, fun, friendly groups. I now provide classes at 8 different levels, with excellent tutors, to guide you through your language learning journey.
It has been a great pleasure to help so many people to improve and perfect their French conversation skills, from complete beginner to confident conversationalist. I can honestly say that I really do teach language for FUN. Get in touch and give it a go.
