About me

I've lived in nine countries, and everywhere I had to make myself understood

For 12 years, I lived abroad and worked in hotels and restaurants, from Tasmania to Saint Martin. I picked up languages on the job, making plenty of mistakes along the way. That's the experience I bring to every lesson.

How it works

How a lesson works

Every lesson starts from a situation in your own life. Here's an example with Sam, who's about to move to France.

The challengeLevel: complete beginner

Sam moves to France next month and knows three words of French. First goal: order a coffee without freezing up.

One hour later

Sam orders and pays for a coffee in French, in their own words.

Before

Chloé prepares the lesson and does the groundwork for you:

  • the vocabulary you'll need;
  • a model dialogue;
  • ready-to-use phrases;
  • the grammar rules, explained simply.

During

One hour together, step by step:

  1. We read the dialogue together: pronounce, repeat.
  2. We pick out the words you already know and add the ones you don't.
  3. We act out a short scene using the written dialogue.
  4. We go over the grammar, if needed.
  5. We play the scene again, this time in your own words.
Today's dialogue Bonjour, avez-vous choisi ? Je voudrais un café, s'il vous plaît. Sur place ou à emporter ? Sur place. Je peux payer par carte ?

Chloé takes detailed notes throughout the lesson.

After

You get a recap of your lesson:

  • what went well;
  • the vocabulary and rules we covered;
  • mistakes to work on, spoken, and written if you like.
From a lesson recap ✓ Well done: you ordered without hesitating. voudraisJe veux un café, s'il vous plaît. New words: sur place · à emporter · l'addition · par carte

Your situation might be a job interview, a trip to the préfecture or a team meeting. The method stays the same.
