Frequently Asked Questions About Learning French
How easy is it to learn French?
Learning French can be quite approachable, especially with the right guidance! As a native speaker from Benin Republic, I can assure you that French is a logical and structured language. Its ease depends on your exposure and practice. For English speakers, French shares many similarities in vocabulary due to historical influences, which makes it easier to pick up. With my experience teaching English and Mathematics, I can help you connect these dots and make the process enjoyable and straightforward.

What is the easiest way to learn French?
The easiest way to learn French is through immersion and consistent practice with a native speaker—like me! I incorporate real-life conversations, practical examples, and cultural context into my lessons, drawing from my life in Benin Republic. Pairing this with a structured approach—such as mastering basic grammar and vocabulary step-by-step—ensures you build a strong foundation. My background in Statistics helps me design clear, progressive lesson plans tailored to your pace and goals.

Is French easy to learn?
French can be easy to learn if taught with clarity and patience, which I bring from my years of teaching in Benin Republic. While pronunciation and grammar might seem challenging at first, they become manageable with practice. As a native speaker, I’ll guide you through the nuances of the language naturally, making it feel less intimidating and more like a conversation with a friend.

Is it difficult to learn French?
It’s not inherently difficult, though it depends on your starting point. For example, if you already speak English (which I’ve taught), you’ll find familiar words and structures in French. Some aspects, like verb conjugations, might take effort, but my experience breaking down complex subjects like Mathematics equips me to simplify these for you. With dedication and my support, any difficulty becomes a stepping stone to mastery.

How much time does it take to learn French?
The time it takes varies based on your goals and consistency. For basic conversational French, you could see progress in 3-6 months with regular lessons (e.g., 2-3 hours a week) and practice—something I can facilitate as your teacher in Accra. To reach fluency, it might take 1-2 years, depending on immersion and effort. My structured teaching style, informed by my Statistics background, ensures efficient progress, and as a native speaker, I can accelerate your learning with authentic practice.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.
French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master. My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.

Group or One-to-One Online or In-Person Turkish, French and English Lessons
🖐🏻 HI, SALUT, MERHABA! 🖐🏻 How are you doing? Comment allez-vous? Nasılsınız? Thanks for having a look at my profile! Here is the pathway we will follow in our lessons! We will start our lessons by learning the most basic skills such as correct pronunciation and simple grammar rules. We will continue to improve our speaking, listening and grammar levels by learning new informations step by step. Based on my 13 years of experience, I think that A1 level is a very important period in language learning. When learning any language, beginner level students should learn it in the correct order and important details should be explained well by practising previous ones. Students at more advanced levels, such as A2, B1 or above, also need to practice their skills at the previous level thoroughly to improve their language skills. I try to provide good teaching by paying attention to these important points in my lessons. I keep our lessons' notes in a word file. After our lessons, I send you back all the additional notes and exercises that we covered in our lesson as a Word file.
