Business French

With 1,5 years experience in teaching, I specialize in providing French classes to adults, from basics to advanced business knowledge.

Your goals :

- Basics : Setting up a strong basis to understand and communicate elementary aspects.

- Intermediate: Enriching your vocabulary to better understand your counterpart's meaning while conveying more subtle information

- Advanced: Engaging in full-blown conversation to know a person intimately and discuss complex topics.

- Business: Introducing yourself and your activity efficiently, asking the right questions to get the information you need, reaching your target for business/company meetings.

- Culture: Knowing more about the French culture, history, food... Which will also help you in all other domains. It's also fun!

About me: Currently a manager in a Swiss consulting company, I like to use my free time to teach French, exchange about France and learn about Chinese history, culture and current events.
I have spent over 2 years in China overall and I currently have a strong proficiency in Mandarin which can also help us communicate.

您好,我也会讲一点汉语,有什么问题的话,咱们可以先用中文交流吧 :-)

A bientôt!

About Me
I am 25 years old and grew up most of my life in France, though I did spend about a year overall in the USA.

An amateur of wine and Chinese culture, I first came to China in 2011 as a student to learn about International Business, Chinese culture and practice my Chinese. After a successful experience, I went back to France to complete my Master's degree in International Business.
I am now back in China, working in a fast-growing Swiss technological consulting company as a manager.

Having always been fascinated with cultural differences and diversity, I have learned to understand that passion and curiosity are strong levers to learn all things in life.
Therefore, I tailor my classes around each student's personal path and interest, focusing on what you like to create an original, interactive environment for you to learn ever more.

My personal goal is to make you feel more confident, more comfortable listening to French and speaking it. We can have classes at home, in a café, library, museum, restaurant... Anywhere you like in your personal life.

A très bientôt!

Hicham
Bonjour Bonjour;

You're maybe planning to travel to France for Business or for vacations...Or you just want to learn French for Academic or professional reasons!

My name is Hicham (Here the French spelling of my first name make it sound "HiTChem" in English speaking countries - which i find awful to hear :) so the exact spelling to pronounce it right should be Heesham). And this is the perfect example that Pronounciation is one of the most important matter in French learning; not only for you to be able to understand French words and learn them, but also and mostly to be able to be understood when you speak them. Just like it's hard to understand a new english speaker with a strong foreign accent

Imagine: "Un ver vert va vers un verre vert". Which means that a green worm is going towards a green glass. This doesn't make any sense but it illustrates what we call Homonymes. The word homonyme comes from Latin, more specifically as "Homos" (similar) and "onoma" (name). And it get more complicated when Homophones have the same pronounciation but not the same meaning nor the same spelling. Or worst; "Homographes" which are written the same spelling but complete different meaning and pronounciation. And finally the most tricky ones are the perfect Homonymes like:" un TOUR de magie" and la TOUR d'un chateau. (Magic trick and Castle Tower)...

But don't worry - You don't need to understand what the Oceans are made of to be able to swim.

And this is here I come. I am born in France (born in 1978 in Orleans) - studied in France, Teach French in Morocco, UK, Spain and Italy for Communication Business purposes. I used to teach Sales in French to Non-native French speaker Callcenter Agents in the Philippines lately. Been teaching in English. Yes I have been learning and practicing English since 2012 and I am now perfectly fluent with an accent which is not French :) Yay :) And my role as your French teacher will be to give you the perfect coaching to make you improve your French skills just like I did in French and other languages.

Yes, I am the perfect example that anyone can learn a new language and become like a native one. I'm proud when I meet french people speaking english together when they cannot notice my accent and don't know I'm from France until I tell them.

Of course, I will provide you all the Grammar, Conjugaison, Orthographe and all the basics modules from the French Academy you need to practice and have a proper French conversation. But not only, I garantee you that you will be able to sing in French.(it will develop your French ear and your pronounciation)

My classes are customized for one to one classes or small group of people who want to have a real follow up on your learning evolution. From beginner to advance. It will include private sessions, customized exercises, funny home work... one to one conversations, French songs :) Yes I will sing too.

I will give you all the tools and tricks that I used myself to reach my English level. So together, we will make sure to find the right path for you to learn and practice French with a purpose.

Contact me if you have questions (the pricing offer is per student for maximum group of 10 people). One to one French coaching can be organized as well;

Feel free to contact me

A bientot
