🧑‍🏫 LESSON OVERVIEW 📝
**********************

This 30-minute session is designed for new students who would like to get a clear idea of how my lessons work before committing to a regular course.

We’ll take the time to get to know each other, talk about your level, learning goals and needs. I’ll also introduce my teaching approach, answer your questions, and help you choose the lesson type that best suits your needs (spoken, written, or methodical study).

Please note: the trial lesson is not a regular lesson. It’s a first meeting to see if we’re a good fit, and to make sure I can help you progress effectively. If you decide to continue, we’ll build a personalised learning plan based on your objectives.

**********************

Do you already have some basics in French but want to speak more naturally and confidently? These lessons are designed to help you improve fluency, vocabulary, and pronunciation through regular speaking practice.

Depending on your level and goals, we’ll focus on both spoken interaction (conversation) and spoken production (continuous speech). You’ll build vocabulary around topics that interest you and develop a clearer, more intelligible accent.

You’ll also gain a better understanding of everyday spoken French and the essential grammar needed for effective communication.

Ĉu vi jam havas bazon en Esperanto sed ne parolas ĝin komforte? Mi povas helpi vin!

Fluaj esperanto-parolantoj estas malmultaj – kaj trejnitaj esperanto-instruistoj estas eĉ pli. Mi estas ambaŭ: alt-nivela parolanto kaj sperta instruisto diplomita en lingvo-didaktiko.  

Laŭ viaj bezonoj, ni fokusos al interaga (konversacioj, intervjuoj, rolludoj) aŭ monologa (rakontado, argumentado, prezentado) esprimadoj. Ni ankaŭ plivastigos vian vorto-stokon kaj plifirmigos vian gramatikon.

La temoj estas elektitaj laŭ viaj nivelo, celoj kaj interesiĝoj. Mi povas helpi vin disvolvi viajn kumunik-lertojn por real-vivaj situacioj, aŭ efike prepariĝi por la KER-ekzamenoj – kiujn mi profunde konas.

Ĉar mi partoprenis en la esperanto-komunumo pli ol 25 jarojn, mi estas feliĉa dividi kun vi mian scion pri la movado, historio kaj kulturo.

La minimuma nivelo estas A2. Se vi ne scias kia estas via nivelo, bonvolu kontakti min!

Do you already know some Esperanto but feel uncomfortable speaking it? I can help you! 

Fluent Esperanto speakers are rare — and trained Esperanto teachers even rarer. I’m both: an expert speaker and a experienced teacher with a background in language didactics.

Depending on your needs, we’ll focus on interactive (conversations, Q&A, role-plays) or monolgue-based speaking (storytelling, presentations). We’ll also expand your vocabulary and strengthen your grammar in meaningful context.

Topics are based on your level, goals, and interests. I'll help you build real-life communication skills  or prepare effectively for the official KER exams — which I'm deeply familiar with.

As I’ve been part of the Esperanto community for over 25 years, I’m happy to share my knowledge of its movement, history, and culture.

A minimum A2 level is required. If you’re unsure about your level, feel free to contact me!

💬  Parola kurso – Progresigu vian parol-kapablon en Esperanto

[EO] Vi ne scias, kiun nivelon vi atingis en Esperanto? Vi deziras ekscii, ĉu vi pretas por ekzameniĝi? Vi bezonas konsilojn por progresigi la kapablojn, kiujn vi devus prioritate plibonigi? Ĉi tiu lingva diagnozo estas por vi!

Mi taskos vian Esperanto-nivelon en tiuj 5 lingvaj kapabloj:
– parola kaj skriba komprenado
– parola kaj skriba esprimado
– parola interagado (konversaciado)

Ĉi tiu diagnozo certe ne havas la valoron de ekzameno – sed danke al mia sperto kaj scioj pri la KER, mi donos al vi pli ĝustan bildon pri via nivelo en Esperanto.

[EN] Are you not sure what level you have reached in Esperanto? Do you want to know if you're ready to take an exam? Do you need advices on how to develop the skills you should improve as a priority? This diagnosis is for you!

I will assess your level in these 5 skills:
– oral and written comprehension
– oral and written production
– oral interaction (conversation)

This diagnosis is of course not worth an examination. But thanks to my experience and my in-depth knowledge of the CEFR, I will give you a more accurate picture of your skills in Esperanto.

🧑‍🏫 COURSE OVERVIEW 📝
**********************

Discover Occitan — a living Romance language with deep cultural roots, a fascinating history dating back to the Middle Ages, and one of the first Romance languages ever to be written. Occitan is still traditionally spoken in Southern France, in some valleys of the Italian Alps, and in the Spanish part of the Pyrenees.

I teach the Languedocien variety, which is used in central Occitania and is one of the most commonly learned dialects, as it occupies a central position within the territory and is often used as a reference variety in teaching and publishing.

This course is for complete beginners (A0–A1) who want to start speaking Occitan and understand how the language works — no prior knowledge needed. We’ll focus on oral communication and pronunciation through practical dialogues and basic vocabulary. Step by step, you’ll also become familiar with essential grammar and writing.

Each session includes short homework tasks to help you review and progress at your own pace.

Curious? Book a trial lesson and start your Occitan journey today!

🧑‍🏫 COURSE OVERVIEW 📝
**********************

Do you find French grammar challenging when you try to speak? In this course, we will focus on grammar as it is really used in everyday conversation. Through practical speaking activities, you will learn how to apply grammar rules naturally and effectively.

You will practice key structures in dialogue and role-play situations, so that grammar becomes a tool for clear communication rather than a barrier. Depending on your level and goals, we will review essential points (tenses, agreement, word order) or explore more advanced features of spoken French.

Step by step, you will gain confidence in using grammar orally, improving both your accuracy and fluency.
