How a French tutor can help you improve your language skills
LikeBonjour! Hello!
Private tuition in French can increase your speed of learning by at least 300 % because it focuses on your individual learning style and personal objectives. Through private French lessons, you can practise and learn to your heart's content as the lesson is focused only on you, not on 25 other students. You can lead the content and speed of the lessons you undertake.
During classes, your private tutor will demonstrate pronunciation, explain language rules and practise the language with you until you can be understood. While children from a young age can often easily absorb languages, it may become more difficult with age. This is where private French tuition can help you immerse yourself in the language.
Learning the foundations of a language gives you a sound start from where you can progress in any direction, whether that be with conversation, managing in a French-speaking country, academic exams or professional development.
Top tips for learning French
- An aspect of learning French that many students fear is grammar and sentence structure. Don´t be afraid of this part of French learning and try to embrace it with a positive mindset. Building a sentence is not so complicated once you have learned and understood the structure. In fact, most phrases are built the same way as they are in English.
- If you struggle with French listening and perhaps with certain accents within the French-speaking world, fear not! A great tip is to watch YouTube videos in French, whether that be clips from films, vlogs or French classes. Did you know that you can reduce the speed of YouTube videos so that you can listen to the words being spoken more slowly and clearly?
- Finally, try to speak French as much as possible. It can indeed feel intimidating to begin with, but we all have to start somewhere with our learning. It´s OK to make mistakes and we learn better by doing so. And, as they say, practise makes perfect!
The joy of learning languages
I have some knowledge in several languages because I enjoy it and have learned for professional reasons. The greatest joy in language learning is the ability to communicate with people from different cultures. There is a magic in being able to stay connected with humanity which warms the heart with pure joy. It also brings lots of laughs when we mix up languages! Languages are a bit magical! And there´s no doubt that they open the mind - that's for sure! It creates connections between people and you learn new ways of seeing the world. Great for the brain and a holiday for the mind😊
