Meet Claudine - your French tutor, language buddy & host In France
I live alone in an old stone house (XVIIth century) but have many friends. I love Montbard because it is small and very close to nature. Even though I love cats and dogs, I have chosen to have none because some of my students have allergy to pets' hair.
On my days off, I like hiking, traveling, art in general (cinema, contemporary dance, painting, concert, etc.) and enjoying the company of people.
My French immersion program is aimed at providing opportunities to any student (from beginner to advance level) to improve their French language but also understanding the French culture and its people. Apart from the morning lessons, we will spend time together and with my friends and you will get many chances to go out and talk naturally in various situations. Focus is on oral understanding and expression for you to communicate with French speakers. A 2 or 3-week session will produce great results in your language learning but a week-stay is also possible. Private courses are the best way to boost your self-confidence and to improve your communication skills and develop the best of what you already know.
If the morning class is somehow formal (stress given to the pronunciation and grammar whenever it is necessary), the rest of the day -break in the morning, lunch or afternoon visit- is perfect to practice, to share, and to relax. I will not correct you all the time because the natural flow of your speech and your ideas is also very important to respect. When meeting my friends however, I will not correct you at all. The aim is to have a normal and natural conversation with French people.
