        Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

        🌆 How do I skill up on French in Manhattan, NY and what are my options in terms of commitment?

        Besides self-study with apps, you have four key options for learning French interactively in Manhattan, NY. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are cheaper.) Your other option can be local private language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can choose a private French tutor in Manhattan, NY. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Manhattan, NY and online French tutors.

        🎟 Is it affordable to learn French and what are the ballpark lesson costs for French tutors?

        For university and college courses you can estimate French course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for fifty or so class hours each semester. Language academies and private French tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced French tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 21 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, ratings and specialization. Average student satisfaction for French lessons on Preply is 4.91 out of 5 stars.

        📚 What level of French do I need to sign up for a course?

        When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and tests, so research the details in advance. With personal French tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

        🔥 Why is French not easy and are there ways to learn it faster?

        Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn French. Realistically, you can gain basic French fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand everyday phrases, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of French. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have French tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.

        🤷 How long does it take to learn French?

        Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in French will demand at least 600 hours of study. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your existing level of French or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch television, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in French out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational French classes online.

        🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right French instructor?

        In learning centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, always! The largest selection of pre-screened French tutors with extensive profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

        🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

        Colleges as a rule offer classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
