What happens in a session?

Each session is structured, but relaxed. You can expect:

• warm-up conversation

• useful vocabulary and phrases

• pair or small-group speaking

• light games and confidence activities

• French culture or real-life topics

• gentle support when you get stuck
   

You are not expected to speak perfect French.

You are there to practise, make mistakes, laugh a little and build confidence.

​

What this is not

• a school-style class

• exam preparation

• a lecture

• a grammar-heavy course

• a place where you are expected to be perfect

Grammar comes up naturally when it helps you communicate.

The main focus is conversation and confidence.

 

Not sure about your level?

That is very common. Tell me a little about your French, confidence and availability, and I’ll help you work out whether

Rusty French Restart, A2 or B1/B1+ is the best fit.

FAQs

I feel nervous speaking French. Will this be too much?

No. Most people feel nervous at first. The sessions are designed to be relaxed, supportive and low-pressure.
 

Will I get enough speaking time?

Yes. Groups are small, with a maximum of 8 learners, and sessions include pair work and small-group conversation.
 

Is there homework?

There will be light preparation, such as reading a short article or looking at a few questions before the session.
 

What if I miss a session?

Life happens. If you miss a session, you will still receive any materials shared with the group.
 

Can I join part-way through?

Usually, learners join at the start of a block. If a suitable space becomes available, I may be able to add you to the group or waiting list.
