Anne. D - Art & Self-Expression

Do you want to improve your French? Or do you simply need someone to practice with? I can offer you several options that are fun and easy.

One of the most efficient ways to learn and practice a language is by having fun, not thinking about it too much, just like we did when we were kids. It's a little bit like playing the didgeridoo: we mostly need regular, but mindless practice.

Vera Birkenbihl understands this very well. She is truly inspiring in her way of "teaching oneself" to learn foreign languages. Unfortunately, her method is still mostly not available for non-German speaking people at this time. However, since I have some knowledge of her method for having started practicing it to learn German, I would love to share with you what I know - and apply it to a French class tailored to your needs.

Private Classes

I was born and raised in France, I love teaching, I love languages, and I love trying new and original methods of learning that are fun and non-linear. Especially the ones which access the creative and subconscious parts of our brain and thus require much less effort from us.

Here again, mixing disciplines reconciles many of these aspects. So I offer you to practice your French while:

Preparing delicious Raw Foods.

Going hiking in nature

Strolling in town to see some museums, galleries, or architecture for example.

Doing art and crafts.

Reading books, magazines, fairy tales, children's stories, listening to French songs, watching movies, etc... anything that is light, fun and interesting to you.

Talking about your interests, your heart's desires, your passions, your visions...

Practicing some of the above in any combination that interests and motivates you.

I am also open to new ideas and suggestions.

This website is a work in progress, and this page will expand and improve as well. When time allows, I would like to add various links and information, and perhaps some French writing, poems, recipes, music and so on... Please come back to visit!
