Questions and Answers: 1. How can I sign up for lessons? What do I need? When can I start? Our lessons are
given via Skype or on the phone. Skype is the preferred method
because it allows a greater range of communication. High-speed
internet is required for Skype. You may require a textbook for some classes. 1 What method do you use? The method
used focuses on effective communication through comprehension and good
pronunciation; it is designed to fit your needs and goals. Lessons are
based on listening, reading, repetition and application in the form of
practice and exercices (oral and written). The core of the lesson
is usually centered on a document such as a text, a photograph or a
picture which will provide vocabulary, structure analysis, cultural
observations and personal inquiry. From that platform teacher and
student work with questioning skills and responses; we often use
language games, short dialogues or scenarios as a complement to the
lesson. After the lesson
the student will review and practice the material and complete
some exercices which will be corrected during the next lesson. 2. How many lessons do I need to sign up for? You can sign up for however many classes you want to. However, we feel it is a good idea to sign up for several lessons to give yourself a good chance to see your progress and realise that you are moving ahead. Also, remember that the rates are lower if you sign up for more than 4 lessons at one time. 3. I learned French several years ago, but have very little confidence when I speak. Can I improve my skills to be able to have a conversation with French people when I travel? If you are motivated to take lessons, practice and follow-up with studying between lessons there is no reason why your confidence shouldn't improve rapidly. Lessons designed around good pronunciation and basic vocabulary at first will allow you to see progress quickly. Lessons focused on travel and communication will be the next step. Your confidence will improve from the first lesson and continue to grow.4. I need to reach a fairly good level of French to communicate with my clients. Can your lessons help? We strive at building our lessons around your needs . We establish goals with you before the first lesson and each lesson moves you towards the goals you have defined. In your case we will work in your area of business to focus on your specific communication needs. Working with scenarios specific to your area will give you vocabulary, grammatical structures and practice in the context of your activities. We assess the lessons on a regular basis to measure progress and to establish new goals. 5 Our family (parents and 6 year-old daughter) are moving to France in a few months and we need to learn French. Can we learn enough before we leave to make the move easier? How can we set up lessons for all of us?We can design a family program for you and propose lessons that the whole family can practice together. However, this may depend on your individual levels and personal lessons may be more beneficial and more efficient at least at the beginning. Your personal goals need to be evaluated to determine what will work best for all. 6 I moved to a rural area in France and haven't found the right French class to learn the language. Can your classes be a solution for me? Yes, of course: you can pick the best time in your schedule for your classes, stay home and practice with your teacher on Skype then in your village or town. Our lessons are flexible, designed for you and can be adjusted and modified as your needs change. We can focus on conversation, listening skills, writing, grammatical concepts or all of these if that's what you need to work on. 7 Are there other options? Yes, workshops or séjours linguistiques are another option. These options are designed for groups or 3 or more and have a very intensive immersion format Send your questions to info@cevenneslangues.com
