From Sorbonne to Amsterdam! French Immersion & Conversation Course: Culture, News, Politics

Bonjour,

I'm of mixed French and Polish origins and I've been living in Paris for many years. I hold a PhD degree in French Literature from Sorbonne University and I've been teaching French and English since 2013. During my class, you will learn how to communicate effectively - and in order to speak, you'll need to practice! I have a passion for French culture, literature, music, film and theatre, and I believe that it's through culture and experiencing the language directly in everyday life that you really immerse yourself in a language. I train also for exams and DELF/DALF. Apart from this, I work as a tour guide specialised in French medieval architecture and a week-end trip to Paris (sightseeing included!) can be planned during the course to immerse in French language, cinema, food and beautiful Parisian museums.

Practicing French in French boulangeries, restaurants and bookshops in Amsterdam can be planned as well. If you're interested in more than practicing speaking and pronunciation skills, we can alternate the grammar/writing classes (held at home) and conversation classes (held anywhere!). We'll use news, social media, Netflix and much more. À bientôt !

Italian lessons for any level (in person and online).
I've been teaching Italian for over 5 years, armed with a Double Degree in Languages, plus not one, but two Masters! 🎓 🇮🇹 And here's the ciliegina sulla torta: I just kicked off another Master's in Teaching Italian to Foreigners at Ca Foscari University. Now, I've got an awesome group of 10 recurrent students learning together with me, each with specific goals, needs, and motivation. And I'm looking forward to meeting you! Are you ready to embark on an incredible adventure through the enchanting world of Italy, Italians, and gestures? :-) We begin by assessing your level, goals, and needs. Together, we craft a personalized plan, ensuring that your learning experience is tailored, efficient, and effective. The classes are tailored to suit your individual level, needs, and goals. Depending on you, we will use textbooks, online tools, or articles among others. My approach encompasses various aspects such as conversation, vocabulary, grammar, Italian culture, or test preparation. Book our class now!

[ONLINE] Preparation for DELF B1 / B2 and DALF C1 / C2. French as a foreign language course
My course is intended for non-French speaking adults of all levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). I use an effective learning method adapted to each student. I use various educational documents, such as press articles, courses specially prepared for the student with targeted exercises, oral comprehension, written expressions ... Each daily lesson includes the progressive learning of grammar, spelling, pronunciation, conjugation and vocabulary. I also focus on oral and written expression.

Zhou
Guzheng-Ancient Chinese Instrument-Chinese music performance
Hi, This is Zhou, an enthusiastic lover of ancient Chinese culture and a part-time Guzheng performer. I have taken part in several art projects in the Netherlands supported by prestigious funding bodies such as Mondriaan Fonds, Amsterdam Fond voor de Kunst, Fonds Podiumkunsten, among others. Guzheng is an instrument that is easy to start with but gets difficult with higher level. I hope to bring the joy of playing this meditative instrument to more people internationally.

Learn French with a native speaker - adapted to all levels
Hello, I am a French graphic designer giving flexible French lessons to all levels and all goals! I have a background in art and literature and therefore would be interested in taking the lessons to another context than the academic one. I already have previous experience in teaching French and would be pleased again to share my culture and language. I can give adapted lessons from complete beginners to advanced ones! According to the student's wishes, the lessons can be focused on the preferred aspects (Conversation, vocabulary, grammar, writing, formal writing, etc.)

Fatima
French classes for school/unviversity students and adults. Skills development for individual needs.
I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Particle Physics at the University of Amsterdam. For over 8 years, I have been offering private tutoring in Mathematics and French. I firmly believe that mastering mathematical logic and a foreign language opens up numerous opportunities for individuals who are willing to invest the effort. One aspect that I particularly enjoy is the challenge of adapting my teaching methodology to suit the specific needs of each student. Over the years, I have developed a strong rapport with my regular students whom I have been assisting for an extended period of time, and I am eager to expand my circle of students. French: 1- Learning in context. 2- Balancing/combining formal and informal/casual use of the language. 3- Activating passive knowledge and deepening language proficiency by learning how to express emotions, employing (idiomatic) expressions, and grasping language-specific humor.

Creative French courses for all levels - from basic to advanced
French is a beautiful language. Whether it's to travel, exchange with French people, or understand more the culture of this unique country, you will only benefit from learning a new language, specifically French people are everywhere on this globe haha I can provide you with basic knowledge but also more advanced tips and exercises to improve your French. For the more advanced ones, I think the best way to master the language is to exchange every time on a different subject and debate on it as much as possible!

Ines
French classes for children and adults, conversational or structured
I'm offering French or English classes for children and adults where they would learn through games and conversations, according to their age and language level. I have a lot of experience teaching foreign languages to children, as I have been a teacher assistant and an international au pair before. I have been giving private classes regularly for the past 6 years. I can also help out with homework. I have helped Erasmus and exchange students, as well as parents and expats that have moved to the Netherlands. For adults, I can do conversational French or English lessons where the subjects vary depending on the person's interests and language level as well. I can also help choose and work from a book, if the person wishes a more structured learning environment.

Isabelle
Experienced German teacher and European Union translator
I graduated in German linguistics, literature and culture (Bachelor and Master) from the Sorbonne University in Paris and studied one year in Berlin at the Freie University and one year in Munich at the University of Munich. I have been working as a translator from German and English to French for 7 years for various companies and institutions including the EU. Fluent in German, English and French (my mother tongue), I understand the struggle and difficulties of learning languages. German may appear daunting and intricate but is in truth quite logical if you have the right tools and technique to apprehend it. I developed along my years of studying efficient methods to properly and effectively learn a language and can confidently advise you on how to go about it as well as suggest medium to include German learning in your everyday life. We can come up with a study plan together that suits your way of learning, preferences and rhythm. I am fully flexible and will adapt to your goals and expectations. Don't hesitate to ask me any further question! :)

Hello, My name is Andrea. I am a bachelor student studying Business Administration at the University of Amsterdam. Born in a Belgian family, I grew up in Brussels and followed a bilingual education at the Lycée Français Jean Monnet where I got my high school diploma; Baccalaureate (Economic and Social section with International Option of Baccalaureate).

Estellei
Learn French with a native speaker, professional teacher graduated from The Sorbonne
My belief is that each student is different and requires a tailor made lesson to meet that student’s needs and goals. Every class is personalised for your own profile and is adapted as needed. I give priority to conversation, convinced that even from the very first day, one can start to communicate in the new language and thus gain confidence to go on. I base my courses on the four essential competencies: speaking, listening, writing and reading, always focusing on your personal goals and motivation. I progressively integrate phonetics, grammar, conjugation, vocabulary in the courses which always include practical exercises. You will also learn a lot about the culture as it is deeply linked to the language. The pedagogic materials I choose are mostly created for native speakers : texts from literature, newspapers, radio podcasts, videos, songs.... Indeed, I am convinced that the learning process has to tackle « real subjects », as languages are alive and constantly changing. My main challenge is to help the learners to be able to « think » in the second language. The debate is the heart of my classroom, but always in a playful way, through many role games — for me learning a language is first and foremost a great joy !
