*Approximate level: B2 and beyond*

📆 Calendar: IN-PERSON: From the 8th of June, you’ll have an hour class **every Monday at 7:15 pm for 8 weeks** until the 27th of July. If you miss a class, you’ll still get the material and some explanations from me, so then no excuse to keep practising your French every week

 This is **a conversation-based class** for students who are already very comfortable speaking French and want to take their language to a more natural and nuanced level. At this stage, you’re not afraid to speak, you understand most things a native speaker says (even at near-normal speed), and you're able to express your ideas in depth (even if you still make mistakes).

In this class, **we speak French all the time**. We’ll dig into more complex structures, idiomatic expressions, and subtle differences in meaning. You’ll also learn how to sound more French in the way you express yourself; less textbook, more real life. Our discussions go deeper and cover a variety of themes, from culture and society to daily life and personal opinions. It’s a great space to fine-tune your skills, get feedback, and enjoy chatting in French in a small group where everyone is motivated to push themselves. Is this class for you? If you feel it's too much, I would recommend the intermediate one!

🤔 ***Not sure whether to choose the intermediate level or advanced?*** If you feel confident speaking French, can comfortably engage in conversation without relying on English, and can understand most of what a native speaker says at their near-normal speed, I’d recommend the advanced class.

The improvers class, however, is better suited for those who need a bit more support. We take things slower, use English as needed, and work on building both confidence and vocabulary.

📚That's the overall idea, but as you know, language learning is fluid and can vary from one student to another. That’s why we keep our classes small, with a maximum of 6 students, to ensure we can adjust to each student’s level and make sure everyone gets plenty of speaking time. The key to learning a language is by speaking it, so our main focus is simple: speak, speak, and speak.

🧑‍🏫 The class will be conducted by **two teachers**, Louise from Lyon and Szymon from Nantes, both really experienced native French teachers. You’ll hear different voices and accents, which is so important while learning a language. Plus, the more the merrier, right?!

🗣 You'll be learning from a **native French Speaker**, so you’ll experience how French is truly spoken—not from an app or a textbook. A quick heads-up: you won’t be learning the typical phrases like “Parlez-vous français ?” or “Voulez-vous visiter le musée ?” because that’s not how we really talk. But don’t worry, I’ll explain all of that during the course and help you sound like a real French speaker!

☕We'll meet in a French cosy café in Bruntsfield after it’s closed (La Barantine), which makes it feel more like hanging out than a formal lesson - indeed don't expect a "rigid" approach such as formal institutions. Students who come are super friendly and motivated—not just to learn French, but to enjoy some time with interesting and nice people. So my classes are all about **learning and having a good time together**.

📌 Location: La Barantine Bruntsfield, a French bakery & coffee shop booked just for us, oui oui! (202 Bruntsfield Pl, Edinburgh EH10 4DF).

The class is open for **only** 6 students to keep the class small and cosy, but mostly so everyone can practice and ask questions.

Every class includes **homework** and different types of exercises to help you keep a good routine outside of the class. You'll get all the materials in a printed and online version, before/after each class, meaning you don't need to buy a book.

When I was at school I never looked forward to French classes but the way Louise teaches is much more engaging and the French she teaches is very useful and totally practical!

Juliet Gold

 Thoroughly enjoyable class. Louise is really encouraging and fun to learn with. Very supportive.
