A methodology based on Comprehensible Input

What is input ? It’s everything you hear and read in French. Just like a young child acquires their native language by listening to the adults around them, you will acquire French by listening and reading — with materials you can understand.

This approach, developed by linguist Stephen Krashen in the 1980s, is based on three pillars. To effectively acquire a language, the input must be :

Comprehensible: I always make sure you understand what you hear and read.
Interesting: That’s why lessons are tailored to your interests and goals.
Rich: Each class is a true immersion in the French language (though I may use a bit of English at the very beginning if needed).

Everything starts with listening comprehension. To speak a language, you must first understand it.
When I speak, I use drawings, gestures, and images to help you understand.
We also gradually work on understanding videos, news reports, podcasts, and more.

Listening

The next step is reading what you’ve just listened to, in order to connect the sounds you’ve heard with the written form of the words.
Reading is also one of the best ways to expand your vocabulary. I will gradually guide you toward reading increasingly complex texts.

Writing is the third key skill in acquiring a foreign language. Depending on your goals and needs — whether personal or professional — we can place more or less emphasis on this step. I adapt to your specific requirements to help you write independently, whether it’s emails, professional documents, or administrative papers.

Reading

Writing

The ultimate goal when taking language lessons is usually to be able to speak the language. That’s why I emphasize speaking from the very first lesson.
However, fluency in speaking comes from the amount of input you receive — in other words, how often you listen to and read French.
My lessons provide a balanced approach across all these skills to ensure a complete and natural acquisition of the French language.

Speaking

While there’s no magic method to become bilingual in 15 days, my approach ensures faster progress than traditional classes.
You won’t waste time doing grammar drills without context or memorizing endless vocabulary lists.

It’s also essential to enjoy the learning process — that’s why I focus on making you feel comfortable and creating a positive, relaxed atmosphere in each lesson.
