NB: Please try and book lessons at least 3 days in advance! This will give me time to prepare the best possible class for you! Thanks! :.) I teach French to students of all levels (beginner to advanced) and Irish to beginner and intermediate students. French (beginner to advanced): I will teach beginners the basics of the language. We will start out with learning how to introduce ourselves, how to count in French, how to make simple sentences so you get to a level where you could comfortably communicate with French people, make French friends and be a tourist in France. In more advanced classes, we will look at French grammar, we will get used to reading short texts (short stories, newspaper articles, poetry) and we will develop vocabulary relating to different topics (French culture, French food, politics, the environment, etc). I am available for General French lessons (where you would learn both to speak and write French) and informal lessons where I would usually help you speak French/where we would hold a conversation together. Irish: In beginner classes we will learn basic introductions, how to order at a restaurant, count in Irish, talk about the weather… I will help you with reading and pronunciation. We will not learn grammar in a dry way but rather I will make you aware of verb tenses and grammatical structures in each and every lesson I give you. At intermediate level we will look at the grammar more while always applying it to sentences and written examples so this grammar makes sense in context. We will learn how to talk about various topics and will look at a variety of texts and other media. In General Irish lessons I normally teach you the language. I tend to keep my ‘Informal Irish lessons’ for conversation practise.
