Speak French with Confidence — Conversation Practice for Adults Bonjour! I’m a native French speaker from Bordeaux, and I spent 10 years living in Réunion Island, a beautiful French island in the Indian Ocean. My life has been quite international — I’ve lived in Ireland and Malta, travelled around South-East Asia while working online, and I’ve been based in Thailand for four years. I learned English as an adult, so I understand what it feels like to search for words, feel nervous speaking, and slowly build confidence in another language. I can also use English when you need support. I help adults from A1–C2 practice French through relaxed, natural conversations. Whether you want to improve your speaking, prepare for a trip, understand French culture, or simply feel more comfortable speaking, we’ll work at your pace and talk about topics you enjoy. My lessons focus on: ✅ Real-life conversations ✅ Natural French expressions ✅ Pronunciation ✅ Gentle corrections and useful feedback I also offer TCF and TEF speaking preparation, including exam roleplays, presenting yourself, answering questions, developing ideas, asking questions and structuring your answers. In your first lesson, we’ll discuss your goals and have a conversation adapted to your level. I’ll adjust my speaking speed and approach to make sure you feel comfortable. You don’t need perfect French to start! Mistakes are a normal part of learning. My goal is for you to enjoy speaking French, feel comfortable making mistakes, and leave each lesson feeling more confident.

It’s been over a month since I started learning French with Lia and I’ve improved a lot. She explains everything clearly and keeps the lessons engaging and easy to follow. She’s supportive and adapts the lessons to my level, which really helps build confidence. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone learning French.

Lia is energetic, knowledgeable, attentive and patient. She is also a good listener. Every lesson with her is always enjoyable and fun. There is never a boring moment. Learning how to speak in a new language can be very intimidating as I often struggle to find the right words or phrases or simply don't know what and how to say in French. But in every lesson with her, I don't feel like I am struggling that much as she makes me feel at ease at all time. She listens patiently and guides me in every step of the learning process. I am really lucky to have her as my teacher and I highly recommend her if you are looking for a teacher that can help and teach you how speak French naturally.

I've been having lessons with Lia since April and she makes me feel at ease while speaking french and she also helps corrects my mistakes in a comforting way and provides lots of feedback and resources to practice. She helped me a lot for the TCF with her feedback, simulations, and a lot of resources! I'd recommend Lia to everyone who wants to be more confident while speaking french and/or prepare for the TCF. Merci, Lia!

Lia is very nice and calm! (Which is really important to me) Love how she takes the time to explain. I had less than the basic vocabulary before the class. She exceeded my expectations. Thank you Lia!
