French for living and working.
French is learned in the situations where you need it. French lessons for everyday life (French as a Foreign Language – FLE) and for work (French for Specific Purposes – FOS), from A0 to C1, built around your real situations: work, family, neighbourhood.
FLE and FOS A0 to C1 Verbo-tonal method
For the individual
Language, much more than a tool
Language is for communicating, but it also carries an identity and a history. Speaking it means taking your place.
I take into account what is at stake emotionally: loyalty to your other languages, the need for recognition, insecurity.
For the team
Language serving the team
Language decides who speaks up in meetings, who receives information, who is left on the sidelines. Lessons start from the team's real situations: meetings, instructions, informal exchanges, contact with other sites. Where useful, I also help French-speaking colleagues communicate more clearly.
Multilingualism
Your languages are an asset
Speaking several languages isn't an obstacle: it's a resource.
Cognitive
Greater flexibility, awareness of how languages work, openness to new things.
Linguistic
Comparison and transfer strategies that make each new language easier to learn.
Cultural
Empathy and ease in navigating different social codes.
Interpersonal and professional
Valuable human skills, for yourself and for the team.
Formats
Your tailored programme.
One-to-one or in-company, adapted to your level, your job and your goals.
FLE: everyday French
Getting by and building connections at school, the local council, the doctor's, in shops or with your neighbours.
FOS: French for work
Mastering the language of your role and sector: instructions, procedures, safety, meetings, exchanges with managers or clients.
Speaking up
Full voice
Communicating with confidence, in daily life and at work.
Decoding
Between the notes
Understanding the cultural codes of the language: registers, innuendo, polite formulas, ways of saying yes and no.
Pronouncing
In the right tone
Working on pronunciation, rhythm and intonation to be understood and gain confidence.
Daring
In chorus
Integrating fully: finding your place in a group, speaking up at work and in society.
The approach
A language is lived before it is conjugated.
Learning a language means daring to speak, being understood and recognised, not just memorising rules. Confidence, speaking and rhythm come first; writing comes in support.
You are the expert in your languages; I am the expert in structure and progression.
Who is it for?
- International talent settling in Belgium, before or after arrival.
- Partners building their social life and their own projects in French.
- Non-French-speaking employees: operators, technicians, managers, executives.
In practice
One-to-one or in small groups, remotely or on site at your company. Schedules agreed together.
Starting point: an exploratory call and a level assessment to understand your needs, work context and goals.
