OUR APPROACH
The approach of this class is unlike anything you have ever tried. Some of the differences of our method are:
Teachers speak French… FAST!
At first the speed at which teachers speak can seem daunting, however, after only a few classes you will already begin to be able to understand words and phrases in French. Classes will fly bye and no time is wasted on translating words from French into your mother tongue which can hinder language learning.
All vocabulary will be repeated, repeated and repeated.
When using the ear to learn to speak a language, repetition is VERY important. Here’s the catch, VISUAL repetition doesn’t help you to speak. Reading and writing practice helps you to read and write.
The challenge is, how can one practice speaking AND make use of repetition?
Most language classes use a combination of “free” short conversations and forced topic conversations to practice speaking and use little or no repetition.
Our SPEAK French… faster! program uses a STRUCTURED conversation approach which is constructed in such a way that ensures you will receive the repetition you need to automatically remember words.
You see, learning to SPEAK a language is similar to learning to type or play a musical instrument, i.e. you need to repeat, repeat and repeat until you are finally able to type, play, or speak automatically without “thinking”.
A different language is a different vision of life.Federico Fellini
Many people believe that once you live in a country where the language is spoken you can simply pick it up.
Of course this IS possible, and some manage very well. However, after being in Switzerland for over 20 years, I have met plenty of “foreigners” who even after years of living here AND taking classes are still not able to speak French. The excuses are plentiful as to why this is, most people simply blame themselves rather than the classes or the techniques they have used to try and learn.
MOST language classes use the same sort of “traditional” approach where the average student will be able to read and write the language after years of study, but will not necessarily be able to hold a simple conversation.
Using our Method, the average complete beginner student who has NEVER spoken another language will be able to have an everyday conversation in French in about 100 hours of classes.
The best way to learn a language is by using your ear in a certain way that literally imprints the language in your brain. This is actually easier to do than it sounds! Some stumble upon a way to do this all by themselves, however, most of us will find it easier to use a method like ours, that builds and repeats vocabulary step by step.
Look, I could fill up pages and pages explaining how our method works, why it is better etc. etc., however, this won’t really help you to SPEAK FRENCH! As finally the only way to learn to SPEAK French is by SPEAKING IT!
If you are a beginner or false beginner level student and you would like the experience of being able to speak at a basic French conversation level, the best way to see if our claim that we can help you to SPEAK French … faster is true, is to TRY it! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
We are so confident that you will know whether our method will bring the results you are looking for after the first 5 lessons, that we offer a NO RISK trial period.
