Prof de français empathique | Conversations réelles | 10 ans à l’ONU Je suis Jérémie, Français originaire de Paris et aujourd’hui installé en Asie du Sud-Est. J’aime les voyages, la musique, la nature et les échanges entre cultures. J’ai également travaillé pendant près de 10 ans aux Nations Unies dans un environnement très international, ce qui m’a appris à communiquer avec des personnes aux parcours et aux cultures très différents. Dans mes cours, je privilégie avant tout la conversation et le français que l’on utilise réellement au quotidien. Mon objectif est de t’aider à parler plus naturellement, à enrichir ton vocabulaire et surtout à prendre confiance lorsque tu t’exprimes. Chaque élève apprend différemment. Je prends donc le temps de t’écouter, de comprendre tes objectifs et d’adapter les cours à ton niveau, à ton rythme et à tes centres d’intérêt. Tu peux poser des questions, faire des erreurs et progresser sans avoir peur d’être jugé. Selon tes besoins, nous pouvons travailler la conversation, la prononciation, la compréhension, la grammaire, le français professionnel ou encore préparer des situations concrètes liées au voyage ou au travail. Mon approche est patiente, empathique et pratique : je m’adapte à toi, pas l’inverse. Le but n’est pas seulement de connaître le français, mais de te sentir réellement à l’aise pour l’utiliser.

フランス在住10年以上の日本人講師【DALF C1取得】長年現地で培った知識と、教科書では学べないリアルなフランス語レッスン こんにちは、Megumiです。 音楽留学を機に渡仏し、2012年から2022年までの10年間すべてをフランスで生活し、日常生活をフランス語のみで送ってきました。2022年から仕事の都合で日本に帰国しておりますが、今も仕事で日本とフランスを行き来しています。 そのため現在ではフランス語が第二の母国語と同じぐらい慣れ親しんでおります。 教科書などに載っているありきたりな表現ではなく、現地のフランス人が実際によく使う「フランス人が好む言い方・表現・フレーズ・動詞」などを、リアルな現地感覚とともにお伝えできます。 言語資格として「フランス国民教育省認定公式資格 DALF C1」を取得しており、正確な言語力を基にレッスンいたします。 これまで日本人の方へのフランス語レッスン、フランス人の方への日本語レッスン、オンラインレッスン、医療通訳、日仏翻訳など、実践的にフランス語を使う仕事に長年携わってきました。 フランス現地生活で身につけた「生きたフランス語」を日本人学習者に分かりやすく説明します。 実際にフランス人が日常的によく使うフレーズ、動詞、好まれる言い方・言い回し、会話のニュアンス、現地での逸話、などもリアルな現地感覚とともにお教えできます。 また、日本人学習者がつまずきやすい「発音、語順、前置詞、時制」などの違い、苦手ポイントも熟知しておりますため、分かりやすく丁寧にお教えします。 単なる暗記ではなく、「どう違うのか」「なぜそう言うのか」「どの表現がより自然なのか」まで理解できるレッスンが可能です。 教科書では学べない、「現地で本当に使う、フランス人が好む言い方や自然な表現を学びたい方」に最適です。 レッスンでは、それぞれの方の希望に添ったレッスンをいたします。 ・フランス旅行で使えるちょっとした会話フレーズ ・フランス映画・音楽で出てくるこのフレーズの意味が知りたい ・自分でもフランス語でポエム(詩)を書いてみたい ・現地フランス人が良く使う動詞や言い回し、日常的に使う表現があれば知りたい など、どんなことでも大歓迎です。 それぞれの方の苦手ポイント「発音・語彙・自然な表現」などを改善しながら、一人ひとりの目的に合わせて進めます。 現地でのお話やリアルな現地情報を取り入れながら、面白く興味深いレッスンを心がけており、「フランス語って面白い!続けたい!」と思っていただけるようなレッスンさせていただきます。

A story, a class, a lesson written just for you. I've been teaching since 2011, have worked in universities and online and lived in 3 continents. If you like structure and challenge in your learning without the performative drills and rigidity of a "traditional" classroom, my lessons might be for you. The atmosphere is relaxed and while the conversations might seem casual, the purpose is always to guide you to closer to fluency. Here, we use the target language whether you're a beginner or advanced. We listen to and discuss my stories adapted to your level. You'll hear about intuitive cats, safe spaces and bubbles, eerie seaside villages, spiritual retreats that take an oppressive turn and a dry cleaning service that has you looking perfect for any occasion. The challenge of language learning is learning to tolerate ambiguity. You won't understand every word. The verb used in Spanish will not always correspond to a literal translation of an English sentence. In my experience, the most successful learners relinquish the compulsive need to understand every single word or question why one "has" (tener/avoir) a number of years in Spanish and French, but "are" an age in English, before they engage with the language. If the goal is to understand and speak the language, this need becomes a hindrance. Ever wondered why many people can't speak a word of Spanish or French despite years of instruction at school? It comes down to a classroom built for linguistic analysis, not language acquisition. Come to my class and speak.

    Professeure Gilee is an excellent teacher. In fact, out of the 3 or 4 teacher's I've had on iTalki, she is the one who has provided the most structure to our lessons and provides goals to attain and works towards those goals consistently. Rather than just speaking with someone, which is important, she has provided opportunities for role playing that forces me to structure my conversations differently and develop new ways of speaking rather than relying on more basic forms. She is helping me to enrich my vocabulary and my communication style!

    Taking a class with Taka is like taking a class with my friend. Although he always has lessons ready to teach me, many times we end up discussing a variety of other topics because I love asking questions. Me being a curious person is not a problem for Taka because he is patient and always ready with answers. He gives examples and uses photos to help explain and make sure I understand. Best of all, Taka speaks at a pace that I can comprehend. He is able to speed up the pace or slow down if I give a questioning look. I always look forward to my classes with Taka. Thank you.

She was extremely supportive, patient, and focused on the areas where I needed the most improvement. Thanks to her guidance, I achieved an incredible CLB 9 in speaking and successfully cleared the TEF across all four modules. I’m extremely grateful for all her help and would highly recommend Caroline to anyone preparing for the TEF or looking to improve their French. Thank you so much, Caroline!

    I highly recommend Didier’s classes. He is always punctual and very professional. He has a very good understanding of the exam’s evaluation criteria, especially for the TCF Canada, which helped me better understand my weaknesses and work on them more effectively. When it comes to speaking, the small exercises he gave me were very helpful in improving my overall performance. Before taking his classes, I didn’t really pay much attention to my speaking pace. Didier also suggested a specific method for practicing this, which I found very useful. Thanks to his guidance and support, I was able to pass my exam successfully. I’m very grateful for all his help, patience, and encouragement throughout my preparation. Thank you very much, Didier!

    Ludo is a fantastic teacher. He knows exactly how to identify his students’ weaknesses and help them improve. I took lessons with him for a month and a half, and during that time, my speaking level improved from CLB 6 to CLB 8. I had taken the TEF Canada exam twice before and cleared all the modules except speaking. This time, thanks to his guidance and effective teaching methods, I was finally able to achieve CLB 8 in speaking. I highly recommend taking classes with Ludo, especially if you are preparing for the TEF Canada. He is an excellent teacher and truly a TEF expert! Merci à vous Ludovic.

  • Zheng Gong

    Learning French

    ★★★★★ I highly recommend this teacher. He speaks fluent English, which makes communication much easier whenever I have questions about French. His lessons are systematic and focus on building a strong foundation. I’m preparing for the TCF, and I previously tried a test-focused approach that relied heavily on memorizing scripts and doing practice questions. It didn’t help me strengthen my grammar and overall foundation. His approach feels much more structured and reliable. He also provides professional, well-organized learning materials and corrects many of my mistakes during lessons. My goal is not only to pass the TCF, but also to build a solid foundation so that I can use French confidently in the future. I feel his teaching is very well suited to that goal.

    I completed a set of 10 lessons with Dianne. She's an outstanding teacher. She caught even small pronunciation mistakes that I made. She explains grammar rules very well. She sends me reading materials suitably challenging for me. Each week, she summarizes the key items of what we covered on a document, which she then shares with me. I'm looking forward to keep learning French from her!

Frequently asked questions about online French classes

What is the fastest way to learn to speak French?

The fastest way to learn to speak French is with an online French tutor. Working with a tutor ensures your time is focused on the skills that matter most, mistakes are corrected immediately, and your lessons adapt to your level and goals.

To make the most of your learning, take private French lessons tailored to your current level and goals, schedule conversational French classes to practice speaking in real situations and build confidence, and track your progress to adjust focus. Your French teacher can pinpoint weak spots, like pronunciation or verb usage, so every session helps you improve steadily. You can also access free French learning resources, which will help you develop your grammar and vocabulary, and writing skills. This coupled with an italki French tutor will help you on your path to French fluency.

What is the 80/20 rule for learning French?

The 80/20 rule suggests that roughly 20% of what you study produces about 80% of your progress. For French learners, this means focusing on the high-value areas that you use most: common verbs, everyday vocabulary, core grammar patterns, and regular speaking practice.

On italki, a French tutor can help you apply the 80/20 rule by identifying the skills and topics that matter most for your goals. Instead of spending time on rarely used grammar or obscure vocabulary, your private French tutor guides your online French lessons to stay focused, helping you see progress faster.

Are private French tutors worth it?

Yes, private French tutors are worth it if you want faster, noticeable progress in your French learning.

Hiring a private French tutor is worth it because:

  • Lessons are tailored to your goals, whether it’s French lessons for beginners or French conversation classes.
  • You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • One-on-one attention ensures you actively practice speaking in every lesson.
  • Tutors can adjust your French lessons online to focus on your strengths, weaknesses, and learning pace.

Many learners find that combining private French lessons with additional resources, like apps or podcasts, makes learning more efficient and keeps them motivated.

Can you learn French without a tutor?

Yes, you can learn French without a tutor, but most learners progress faster when they work with a French tutor or an online French tutor.

A French tutor helps you:

  • 🗣️ Build correct pronunciation from the start
  • 🛠️ Fix pronunciation and grammar issues before they become habits
  • 📅 Stay consistent with a clear study plan
  • 💬 Get real conversation practice, which self-study can’t provide

Many learners try to study only with apps, books, or videos. It works, but it usually takes longer because you don’t get feedback, correction, or regular conversation time.

Using a platform like italki gives you access to experienced online French tutors for one-on-one lessons. When you combine private French lessons with extra resources such as apps or podcasts, your progress stays steady and more balanced.

How much does a French tutor cost?

French tutors on italki cost between $4 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format.

Many learners choose private French tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find a French teacher that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute online French lesson typically costs between $4 and $10.

Is 3 months enough to learn French?

Yes. With intensive French classes and a dedicated French tutor, you can reach a basic conversational level (A2-B1). At this stage, you can hold simple conversations, introduce yourself, order food, ask for directions, and manage everyday travel situations.
