One of the key difficulties in learning French lies in its pronunciation and intricate grammar rules. French pronunciation includes nasal vowels and silent letters, which can be challenging for learners to master accurately. Additionally, French grammar features complex verb conjugations, including numerous irregular verbs and varied tenses that require careful study. The use of gendered nouns and agreement rules for adjectives adds another layer of complexity. These pronunciation and grammatical nuances can make French a demanding language to learn, despite its wide use and significant influence globally.

According to the Foreign Service Institute, French is considered a Category I language, suggesting it is one of the easier languages for English speakers to master, typically requiring around 600 hours of study. The CEFR guidelines complement this by outlining a clear path from basic A1 to advanced C2 levels, aiding learners in systematically building their skills and tracking progress.

Many of our French tutors are native speakers, providing a significant advantage in mastering the language. These tutors bring authentic pronunciation, cultural insights, and idiomatic expressions directly from their personal experience, creating a rich, immersive learning environment. This one-on-one attention helps tailor the lessons to your level, study style and speed, significantly enhancing the path to fluency. For anyone serious about achieving proficiency in French, a native tutor from Verbalplanet can make the learning process more effective and engaging.

Our teachers can use all popular video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Skype or Microsoft Teams so you just need to choose your preferred communication channel when you book. Web based French classes provide a great way for students to engage in live conversation with native speakers and are virtually the same as taking an in person class. During each session, you will have the opportunity to interact with your tutor in real-time, practice your speaking, and receive immediate feedback and guidance.

You will also have access to our bank of resources to enhance your progress between classes.
