I'm French, expatriate living in Spain since 1984 (except between 1989 and 1992). I'm also a translator (english or french into spanish). I'm married with a german and we have 4 sons (who speak 5 lenguages) and 2 grand sons. I speak also german, italian, catalán and portuguese.
Je suis un expat français qui vit en Espagne depuis 1984 (exception entre juin 1989 et juin 1992). Je suis aussi traducteur (de l'anglais et français à l'espagnol). Je suis marrié à une Allemande et nous avons 4 fils (qui parlent chacun 5 langues) et deux petits-fils. Je parle aussi l'allemand, le catalan et le portuguais.
Me as a Teacher
My speciality is the pronunciation and the improvement in vocabulary in order to reach a good fluency. Through the years I managed to adquire a rich vocabulary in spanish and english, and also an excellent pronunciation (nearly native). I enjoy interpersonal contacts with other people.
Mon fort est la prononciation et l'enrichissement dans le vocabulaire pour atteindre une plus grande fluidité. Au fil des ans j'ai acquis un vocabulaire riche en espagnol et en anglais, ainsi qu'une prononciation presque native. J'aime bien les interactions, le contact avec d'autres personnes différentes de moi.
My lessons & teaching style
My fundamental work tool is conversation. I try to find topics of interest for my students. My goal is to better their pronunciation, enrich their vocabulary through synonyms, equivalence in idiomatic expressions, etc.
La conversation est mon outil de base. Je cherche à voir les domaines d'intêret de mes étudiants pour trouver des documents et des articles qui conviennent pour lancer les conversations. Je cherche à enrichir leur vocabulaire, enseignant plusieurs synonymes des adjectifs trouvés. Je m'appuie sur des ouvrages ou des pages web qui comparent les expressions idiomatiques. Pour la prononciation j'utilise bien sûr la répétition jusqu'à ce que le mot soit convenablement prononcé.

Learning French with Olivier is so much fun! He uses a variety of entertaining methods to teach the language that are so enjoyable that you hardly realize you're studying. His enthusiasm and energy are great motivators for learning. I highly recommend his lessons!

This was a trial lesson, thus no need to provide a plan for the next lesson yet. My son liked him.
