French for beginners teachers

For the French for beginners’ program, all our teachers speak English. All the explanations, vocabulary, grammar topics are reviewed in English to make sure the basic principles are understood. Our French tutors also have a lot of patience and put a great emphasis on learning the correct pronunciation when you speak or when you read.

How long does it take to learn French when you’re a beginner?

Obviously, there’s a lot of parameters like:

  • are you used to learning different languages?
  • do you have any exposure to French? (for example, if you live in a French-speaking country)
  • do you understand grammar in your own language?
  • how easily do you learn new things?
  • do you know another Latin language like Spanish or Italian?

Our goal is to help you speak French as fast as possible, but we’ll also work on other areas of the language like grammar, reading, writing because it’s important to have a broad understanding of how French works.

The European nomenclature has divided language skills into 6 levels: A1, A2 (for beginners), B1, B2 (for intermediate levels), C1, C2 (for advanced levels).
From A1 to B2, each level takes between 6 months and 18 months to reach. The more you study regularly through French lessons and homework, the more you’ll be able to improve.
