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.

Full fluency takes longer, usually 1–2 years, but 3 months of focused French lessons can help you understand slow, clear French and respond confidently in common situations.

How long does it take to learn French with a tutor?

It depends on your goals and study intensity, but most learners reach conversational French in 6-12 months when they work with an online French tutor. Regular private French lessons help you stay consistent, fix mistakes early, and get real speaking practice.

Basic French conversation (A2) typically takes 3–6 months with 2–3 French lessons per week.
Intermediate French fluency (B1–B2) may take 6–12 months while advanced fluency (C1–C2) may take 1–2 years.

A private French tutor speeds up your progress by providing immediate feedback and consistent speaking practice. Learners who book 3–5 French classes online per week usually move through levels faster than those studying only once a week.

How do I find a good French tutor on italki?

Finding a good French tutor on italki is easy with filters.

  1. Narrow by price, native language, availability, and specialization (conversation, grammar, exam prep).
  2. Watch intro videos to check teaching style, read student reviews to see how others rate their lessons.
  3. Start with a trial lesson to test compatibility.

A good French teacher adapts lessons to your goals, corrects mistakes constructively, maximizes speaking practice, and tracks progress. If the first tutor isn’t a fit, try another.

Can I find French tutors for specific needs on italki?

Yes, italki offers French tutors who specialize in different learning needs and goals.

You’ll find French tutors for beginners,
French tutors for kids, and
French tutors for conversations, as well as tutors who focus on conversation practice, French grammar, or specialized areas like exam preparation (DELF, DALF, TCF) and business French.

If you feel more comfortable learning French with someone who can speak your native language, italki also offers tutors for
French classes for English speakers and
French classes for Arabic speakers. Whatever your goal, there’s a French tutor for it.

How does italki work?

italki’s online French 1-1 lessons with tutors are simple, flexible, and personalized:

  • 🧐 Browse tutors – After creating an account, browse through qualified French tutors with detailed profiles showing their teaching style, experience, and student reviews.
  • Choose your tutor – Filter by price, availability, specialization, or tutor type to find a tutor that fits your goals and schedule. Many offer trial lessons to help you find the right match.
  • 📅 Book and attend lessons – Once you book a lesson, you’ll meet your private French tutor via italki’s video platform. Your tutor will assess your level, discuss your objectives, and tailor lessons to your needs.
  • 🚀 Learn at your pace – French classes are fully flexible and can be scheduled daily, weekly, or as often as you like. Between lessons, tutors often provide extra resources or conversation practice to help you progress in learning French online.

How many hours a week should I study French?

It depends on your goals, schedule, and current level, but most learners see steady progress with 3–5 hours of French lessons per week.

Beginners often benefit from 3–5 hours a week to build consistency, practice speaking, and reinforce new grammar and vocabulary. Intermediate and advanced learners may have 2–4 hours a week for focused practice, exam preparation, or conversation skills.

Your learning style also matters: some students thrive with intensive French classes, while others prefer a slower, steady pace. A private French tutor can help you design a schedule that fits your pace, and lessons can be adjusted as your goals evolve.

How often should I meet with an online French tutor?

How often you meet with an online French tutor depends on your goals, schedule, and level. Beginners often benefit from 3–5 online French lessons per week to build consistency, practice speaking, and reinforce new grammar and vocabulary. Intermediate and advanced learners may have 2–3 online French lessons per week to focus on conversation, exam prep, or specific skills.

Short, regular lessons usually work better than long, infrequent sessions. Your private French tutor can help create a schedule that fits your lifestyle and adjust it as your goals change.

Do italki's French tutors offer free online French lessons?

While italki French tutors don’t offer completely free lessons, many provide discounted trial lessons. Each student can book up to three trial lessons (one per tutor) to experience different French teaching styles before committing.

Trial lessons let you try a French lesson online, assess the tutor’s approach, discuss your goals, and see if their style fits your needs. It’s a low-risk way to find the right French teacher.

Do I need a basic understanding of the French language before I can take French classes with italki?

No. You don’t need any previous knowledge to start learning French on italki. The platform has many French tutors for beginners who specialize in teaching students starting from scratch and make the language approachable from day one.

Starting as a complete beginner can be an advantage, as your French tutor will help you build good pronunciation and grammar habits from the very beginning.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki community tutors and a professional tutors lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.

Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online French lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on French conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.

Many learners use both: professional tutors for foundational skills and community tutors for speaking practice.
