Speak (or improve) your Catalan from day one!

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Learning a language is not just about learning its vocabulary and grammar.
With a communication method adapted to you, my goal is to personalize the course to your needs in order to achieve your goals and be able to express yourself from day one.
The methodology I use is flexible (songs, translations, pure and specific grammar or
vocabulary games?), it depends on your preferences, interests and linguistic objectives (academic, professional, conversational: what is yours?).

Maria
Professeur italienne donne cours de Langue italienne pour tous les niveaux sur Bruxelles
La façon meilleure d'apprendre une langue vivante et surement PARLER! Bien sur qu'il faut apprendre la grammaire mais une bonne partie du cours se base sur la capacité de communiquer. J'aime bien la littérature donc, pour ceux qui sont intéressés, je propose la lecture des textes italiens ou bien des traductions français-italien italien-français.

Pierre
French courses for foreigners (FLE)
As a linguist, I never judge a speaker no matter how good or bad they are. I have every needed skill to help you to make your speaking closer to the standard French spoken in Belgium or France. I continually adapt the teaching (phonetics, grammar, syntax, etc...) to the needs of the students. According to your needs, we can work on speaking, writing, or both.

Thibaut
Communication training (verbal or non-verbal)
Verbal communication: Have you always dreamed of becoming a great speaker? This training is for you! During this training, you will learn the techniques to speak in front of an audience with ease and clarity, keeping your personality and without overplaying. Non-verbal communication: When we communicate, our non-verbal language can make up 70% of the message we spend. Our attitude and our actions are therefore essential for a good handover and understanding of our ideas. During this training, we will teach you the most effective non-verbal communication techniques to improve your interpersonal relationships.

Agathe
Last year college student proposing English lessons
For my classes, I am using multiple supports such as an English book, homemade exercices and my highschool textbook which I take the liberty to adapt depending on the student's level. I usually work by chapters, as I find it easier to move on throughout the lesson. I also appreciate the structured program to keep the mind clear and actually see the progress.

Laura
¡Hola! - Spanish lessons by a native speaker from Barcelona

Konstantina
English course sessions for children aged between 5 and 15 years old
Learning English nowadays is essential and useful to anyone. This is class done only in immersion. I have been teaching English since the age of 16. I design my lessons based on the student's interests and hobbies, changing themes every 1-2 weeks :) My goal is to keep improving my student's English skills all by communicating in English (it is very important to be comfortable with the language). I assign homework after every lesson but if this is not wished it can be changed!

Maria Pilar
Spanish, learn Spanish culture and language.
I propose a personalized and dynamic pedagogy to learn naturally. I give homework after each lesson and periodically provide progress reports. I also adapt to all levels. Indeed, thanks to my more than ten years of experience as a Spanish teacher (in public centers as individual courses) I know how to adapt to the particular needs of each student. As for my qualifications, I studied Spanish Language Teacher for Foreigners (ELE) as well as advanced courses in "Didactics of Spaniard as a Foreign Language" at the University of Antonio de Nebrija, Madrid.

Harold
French Teacher / gives French / FLE lessons in Ixelles or at home
Hello everyone, I. My French / FLE course: I first seek to identify the needs of the student but also the requirements of his Professor if necessary, or requests related to a particular professional situation. It is from this inventory that I build my course. My teaching method aims for a clear understanding of the rules, (transmissive model) and instructions, and their constant recall. My explanations are always clear and structured and are ideally made with the words of the students, rather than with technical terms. Clear explanations, certain guidelines for orienting oneself in case of difficulties, taking a few notes, repetition - in a fun way if possible -, constant practice of exercises, recurring questions that I ask to check that the material is acquired, will ensure lasting success without cutting corners. Thus grammar, for example, becomes much less arid mental gymnastics than it seems. On the contrary!

Phillip
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!

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
