Considerations for a Class

There are a few considerations when choosing a class format:

Consider	Ask Yourself
Your Goals	Do you need to work on a specific skill such as handling conference calls in French or preparing for a French language test?
Your Preferred Environment	Do you thrive on the interaction with other students at your skill level or do you feel more comfortable in private sessions?
Your Schedule	Do you need a flexible schedule?
Your Budget	Would you consider sharing the cost with other students?

Options

Options	What is it?
Private Tutoring	One to One, learn at your own pace.
Semi-Private	2 to 3 participants, perfect for co-workers.
Group Instruction	With a minimum of 4 students with the same goals and similar levels.
Phone	Phone sessions, with email follow-up.

 

Weekly 1.5 hour sessions are strongly recommended. A typical private session includes at least 30 minutes of conversation, followed by  some grammar (to guarantee a strong foundation). The last part of the session focuses on the students’ individual needs: Verb conjugation, speaking, reading or writing skills.

Many people opt for an open format for their lessons: Activities and topics for conversation emerge freely as the relationship with their tutor develops. No matter what format you choose, it is important to be consistent. Keeping a regular class schedule is key if you want to make significant progress.

So, let's get started

Saucissons, Dordogne

Did you Know?

En latin salsus signifie salé. On pense que les Grecs et les Romains sont à l’origine de la saucisse et du saucisson. On retrouve des recettes de saucisson datant du temps de l’empire romain. De plus, en accompagnement de la cervoise, les Gaulois consommaient des légumes secs, des fèves, des lentilles et surtout du cochon. Les salaisons connus de l’époque gallo-romaine sont le porc salé, le jambon, et notamment le saucisson. En 1546, apparition en France du mot saucisson, d'origine italienne, dans le Tiers Livre de Rabelais, c'est un indice de la pénétration de la cuisine transalpine. (wikipedia)
