During our trial lesson, I will first take the time to understand your needs, goals and expectations so that I can create a personalized learning plan that truly suits you.

I will also assess your current French level through our conversation and a few targeted activities. This will help me identify :

- Your strengths and skills you have already acquired;
- The areas that need more practice;
- The vocabulary, grammar and communication skills we should prioritize.

Together, we will discuss what you want to achieve in French, the situations in which you need to communicate, and the type of French you would like to improve.

If you are a complete beginner, don't worry ! We won't start with a difficult level assessment. Instead, we will talk about your interests, your projects, your reasons for learning French and your goals, using simple French adapted to your level. This will also allow me to understand how I can best support you from the very beginning.

By the end of the trial lesson, you will have a clearer idea of your current level, your priorities and the learning plan I recommend for you.

The goal is simple: help you interact quickly and naturally in specific situations, using the vocabulary, expressions and jargon that French speakers actually use.

We can work on situations such as:

🍷 At a wine shop (caviste) — talking about wine, asking for recommendations, describing your preferences
🏥 At the doctor or pharmacy — explaining a problem and understanding specific questions
🏠 At a real-estate agency — visiting an apartment, asking about rent, contracts and practical details
💼 At work — participating in meetings, making requests, explaining a problem or disagreeing politely
🛠️ With a mechanic or craftsman — describing a technical problem and understanding specialized vocabulary
🏦 At the bank or insurance office — asking questions and dealing with administrative situations
🛍️ In shops and services — returning an item, making a complaint or asking for a specific product
🍽️ At a restaurant or café — ordering naturally, making special requests and handling misunderstandings
🏛️ In administrative situations — making an appointment, filling out forms or communicating with public services
🏡 With neighbors or landlords — discussing practical problems, repairs, noise or everyday matters

During the lessons, I help you learn the right vocabulary and expressions for the situation you choose, including informal language, professional jargon and culturally appropriate ways of speaking.

We will also focus on avoiding misunderstandings: how to ask someone to clarify, how to reformulate what you mean, how to react when you don't understand a word, and how to keep a conversation going even when you don't know exactly what to say.

The objective is not simply to learn more French, but to be able to use it immediately in the situations that matter to you.

You can choose the situations you want to practise, and I will adapt the lessons to your specific needs and goals.
