Score: 5 Teacher: Elodie Préaud By: Andrew February 28, 2014 Lead Acquired: February 28, 2014 Hours of Instructions: 60 |
An excellent experience I never learned French at school and as an adult, found evening classes unsatisfactory. I never seemed to be able to progress beyond a certain basic level, especially in comprehension. I started lessons with Elodie a year and a half ago and have found the experience inspirational and transformative. Her rigorous approach to all aspects of the language is impressive; the audio and written materials are excellent; and all work submitted is marked and commented on very thoroughly: excellent value for money. I had never used Skype before but am now converted to it. In addition to the benefit of one to one lessons, Elodie types the phrases or questions as you go along, which not only helps with difficult points of grammar or pronunciation, but serves as another source from which to revise. Her sense of humour is always to the fore, making the lessons enjoyable. I decided to consolidate what I had learnt by arranging to stay with a French family for three weeks in Mormoiron and attend lessons with Elodie. This was a superb experience. The family that Elodie organised for me was extremely kind and generous and I was accepted like one of the family, enjoying lovely food, being introduced to other relatives and friends and taken on trips to some of the most beautiful places in Provence. Speaking French to them on a daily basis was a pleasure and ultimately deeply satisfying. Many idioms and phrases that French people use are now firmly embedded in my mind and I have reached a level where I can converse in, and understand French much more confidently than before. Recently, I met a French colleague of mine and she recognised immediately the huge strides I had made with the language, stating, 'Tu as fais beaucoup de progrès en Français et tu t'exprimes de façon beaucoup plus fluide et naturelle'. Perhaps there can be no better testament to Elodie and her methods than that. Add a folllow-up message (Andrew or Elodie Préaud only) |
