What if learning French felt like a moment just for you?
Join me for a gentle, informal lesson:
- a walk along the beach
- a coffee facing the ocean
or a relaxed conversation in the open air
No pressure, just real life, real conversations… and French, naturally.
Come as you are — message me to join 💌
So… let me tell you why I always prepare my lessons 😅
At the very beginning, I really thought I could just “go with the flow” and keep things relaxed…
And honestly, sometimes it worked.
But sometimes… not so much.
I still remember this one lesson with two CEOs of a big company in Russia.
I thought: let’s make it fun — sports vocabulary!
Everything was fine until I realized…
I didn’t actually know what a “coup franc” was in football.
So I started improvising.
Miming players, goals, penalty kicks…
You know those moments where you suddenly question all your life choices?
Yeah. That one
And at the same time, my friend Sophie had her own “great idea”:
a chill lesson before the holidays, watching a film about French gastronomy.
She chose La Grande Bouffe.
Without watching it first.
If you know… you know
(And if you do — please tell me you remember the ending)
Since then, I’ve created a whole library of lessons
(on Canva and Genially — I love how interactive they are )
But the funny thing is…
I still prepare every single lesson.
Because no matter how much material you have,
every student is different.
Different energy, different needs, different rhythm.
And I really try to adapt to each of them.
So yes, I still love going with the flow…
but now it’s a prepared flow
And it definitely saves me from a lot of awkward moments.
If you’ve ever had a “what am I doing right now” moment…
please tell me I’m not the only one
