French Tuition
French lessons for adults and children - find a French tutor
French is a Romance Language and is based on Latin
modified by the influence of Celtic and Germanic language speakers.
Laterally, English words such as 'parking', 'computer' and 'sandwich' have
become part of the French vocabulary. Native French speakers are known as
Francophones and are to be found all over the globe but particularly in
Africa, Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, Luxembourg, Monaco, Switzerland and the
West Indies.

French lessons
Like all modern languages, there are several ways to learn French.
Ad-hoc sessions for a student with a grasp of the French language.
This format really only works for those students who are familiar with the
language. Beginners will find that unevenly-spaced lessons end up being too
dilute for them to get sufficient knowledge of French to make progress and
therefore each lesson will tend to mirror the previous one until eventually
the student gives up. Ad-hoc lessons are ideal for someone who already
speaks French moderately well and who uses it in their work with the lessons
just being an opportunity to polish and extend their skills.
Intensive courses where the student can submerge themselves in French.
These work well for older students (not children) who are either about to
take an exam in French or are to be put in a position where they will be
required to speak the language for prolonged periods. Intensive courses need
to be properly structured and since most private tutors only offer tuition
on a part-time basis, it may take a great deal of organising. It is
definitely a good idea to use a tuition agency to organise this on behalf of
the student.
Regularly weekly lessons where the student can gain new knowledge and
then go away and practice the French that have learned.
This is the tried and tested way of learning and suits all ages and levels.
The French lessons should ideally last about 2 hours and the student should
endeavour to put in about 3 to 4 hours of self-study, applying what they
have learned in the lesson.
Face-to-face versus online tuition
Online tuition is the modern way to learn and has all the advantages of
face-to-face tuition but without the need to travel. This not only means
that the tuition should work out cheaper, it also means that your French
tutor does not even need to live anywhere near you. With high-quality
digital sound and fast internet connections, why waste time on travel when
you can just click a button and talk live to your tutor.
