Learn French Online - Distance Learning Classes

Speak French Today:
Speak French Today is an online French language school which offers one-to-one classes with an native French teacher or French lessons via e-mail. Thanks to the telephone, web conferencing and Skype, you can study with a French tutor in France, wherever you are in the world.

Tailor-made one-to-one lessons are the quickest and most efficient way to improve your spoken French, especially when given by an experienced French teacher living in France, perfectly up-to-date with the latest trends in French language, culture and society.

Suitable for beginner to advanced level, they are ideal if you want to make rapid progress in speaking French. We will talk live together and you will study and practice exactly the French you need in real-life role plays.

1 - Before your lesson: Prepare each lesson with a textbook and CDs or other material I will recommend.

2 - During your lesson: Learn and practice French as if you were in France. The content of the lesson is tailored to your needs and objectives.

3 - After your lesson: Receive the written summary of your lesson -- and its audio recording, if you need this option: read, listen, repeat after me and memorize easily!

E-mail tutoring:
In between lessons, you may choose to send me homework for correction. If you wish to improve your written French only, you may also choose e-mail tutoring only (without live audio lessons).

La Gazette Audio is a lively monthly e-mail lesson for upper-beginner, intermediate and advanced learners.It is based on short texts and real-life conversations about everyday life in France.

Every month you receive an issue by e-mail. The lesson consists of a text and a conversation recorded at regular and slow speed, full transcript, translation into English, exercises and games with answer keys to develop your listening skills, vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling and grammar. You may download the lesson to study off-line.
