        I've taken a few French lessons with Guillaume and I'm very satisfied. We always discuss interesting topics. For instance, today we watched a very funny video and spent time discussing the vocabulary and expressions used in it. I highly recommend him as a French teacher.

        Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

        🌆 How can I master French in Portsmouth and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

        Besides self-study with mobile applications, you have several key options for learning French interactively in Portsmouth. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your other resource can be local commercial language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can opt for a private French tutor in Portsmouth. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Portsmouth and online French tutors.

        🎟 Is it cheap to learn French and what do French tutors charge?

        For university and college courses you can estimate French course cost by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of fifty or so course hours each semester. Language academies and individual French tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the less pricey French tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 21 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, availability and languages the tutor can teach in. Average reviews 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 pass a few pre-requisites. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and graded tasks, so research those in advance. With personal French tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

        🔥 Why is French so hard and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

        Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn French. According to experts, you can gain basic French fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand many sentences, speak on some level, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and easy 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 students.

        🤷 How long does it take to learn French?

        Some people 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 practice. The amount of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of French or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in French out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational French classes online.

        🤳 Can I pick my own French tutor?

        In learning centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, of course! The largest selection of tested French tutors with extensive profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

        🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

        Colleges typically structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
