“We can talk about anything” - everyone says that. But I mean it. Want to know if French people really smell bad? Go ahead and ask me.
I’m from Paris, now in Japan, after more moves than I can count. I love exploring what’s unique, what’s shared, and what’s just a fun stereotype. In class, expect laughter, real talk, and cultural deep dives.

⚔️【Beginners】Know the basics? Then you can speak! Your French won’t be refined yet, and that’s fine—you need to understand and be understood. We’ll focus on useful expressions, proper pronunciation, and learning methods.
⚔️⚔️【Intermediate】You now want to chat about your favorite topics and break the ice. Your vocabulary must expand - both with slang and specialized terms. Soon, “real” French expressions will come naturally.
⚔️⚔️⚔️【Advanced】Feeling stuck under a glass ceiling? To sound truly natural, we’ll refine your phrasing, tone, and discuss cultural nuances - whether for casual banter, debates, or business discussions.My teaching material

A very enjoyable conversation with Hugo, he gave me a couple of idiomatic expressions that will definitely be useful to me, I'd say he taught me some real french poetry. Recommended

Hugo is very helpful, friendly and entertaining! He gives useful tips/resources to remember certain words and tricky grammar rules. He’s great at catching grammar/pronunciation mistakes too. I feel a lot more confident about my upcoming oral expression exam thanks to him! I highly recommend 😄
