Français facile avec prof Bonjour et bienvenue ! Je suis Ulrich, prof de français natif du Cameroun 🇨🇲 Je t’aide à parler français avec confiance dès la 1ère leçon, sans stress et sans grammaire ennuyante. Pourquoi apprendre avec moi ? Vétérinaire de formation et passionné d’enseignement, j’ai l’habitude d’expliquer des choses complexes de façon simple. Avec 3 ans d’expérience avec des enfants et adultes débutants, je sais m’adapter à ton rythme et à tes objectifs : voyage, travail, examen DELF A1-A2, ou juste pour discuter. Comment se passent mes cours ? Mes leçons sont 80% conversation et 20% pratique ciblée. On oublie les cours magistraux ! - Débutants A1-A2 : on apprend à se présenter, commander au café, poser des questions simples. Tu parles dès le 1er cours. - Conversation : on discute de sujets qui t’intéressent pour améliorer ta fluidité et ta prononciation. - Correction douce : je note tes erreurs et te réexplique à la fin pour que tu progresses sans blocage. Mes méthodes : - Jeux de rôle et dialogues de la vie quotidienne - Vocabulaire et grammaire expliqués en contexte - Fiches PDF + audio envoyés après chaque cours pour réviser Mon objectif : créer un espace confortable où tu n’as pas peur de te tromper. L’erreur fait partie de l’apprentissage ! Je parle français et anglais, donc je peux t’expliquer si tu bloques. Réserve une leçon d’essai de 25 min et on définit ensemble ton plan personnalisé. J’ai hâte de te rencontrer !

Native French speaker helping you unlock real conversations! Hi! I’m Manon, a French native from the Alps, now living in sunny Marseille. Languages have always fascinated me. I’m currently learning Swedish (hej!), used to speak Spanish, and have some basics in Italian. I love the little “aha!” moments and the joy of making progress, it’s what drew me to teaching in the first place. I once lived in Finland as an au pair, an experience that deepened my love for languages and cultural exchange, and I'm also a cello teacher, which taught me how to adapt, encourage, and support each learner. My goal is to make French feel natural and fun, so you can build confidence and enjoy every step of the journey! I believe the best way to remember a word is to use it, so we’ll talk a lot. And I know how hard it can be to learn a language: feeling stuck, lost, or unsure where to start. So my goal is to make you feel comfortable, supported, and to help you see real progress! I adapt to your level, personality, and what works best for you. No pressure, no judgment, just a space where you can try, make mistakes, and keep moving forward. Learning a language is no small thing, it’s amazing! You’re doing something brave and impressive. Let’s make it fun!

I'll get you from 0 to CONVERSATIONAL in a short period of time. I have a lot of experience learning languages. My goal, when I start learning any language is to get to a conversational level as soon as possible so that learning can become automatic (through talking with native speakers, watching authentic videos, and learning from authentic materials). I use the SAME METHOD that I use to LEARN to TEACH my students.

Let's talk as if we were having coffee in Paris 🙂 Bonjour, Je m’appelle Antoine, j’ai 37 ans, je suis français, né à Paris, et j’ai grandi principalement en Suisse. Entre 2018 et 2022, j’ai beaucoup voyagé et vécu à l’étranger, notamment en Nouvelle-Zélande, en Argentine, à Rio de Janeiro, à Cape Town et à travers l’Europe en van. C’est pendant cette période que j’ai commencé à enseigner le français sur Italki. Depuis 2023, je vis à Paris, où je travaille comme formateur pédagogique sur les enjeux climatiques et la lutte contre l’antisémitisme. Ayant moi-même appris l’anglais de manière autodidacte pendant mes années de voyage, je sais à quel point la pratique régulière est essentielle pour progresser. C’est pourquoi je propose des cours de conversation spontanée, car c’est souvent dans les échanges naturels que l’on gagne le plus en fluidité et en confiance. Comme autour d’un café, nous pouvons parler de sujets variés : actualité, voyages, politique, histoire, vie à Paris ou thèmes qui t’intéressent, tout en travaillant la prononciation, le vocabulaire et les tournures de phrase. Au plaisir d’échanger avec toi !

    Manon is a wonderful teacher! Her lessons are always interesting, enjoyable, and well-prepared. We've been studying together for over six months, and I can really see how much I've improved. I started with almost no French, and now I can actually have conversations, which feels amazing :) We spend a lot of time speaking during our lessons, and Manon always brings interesting topics, texts, and activities to discuss. She creates a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where it's easy to practice and learn without feeling nervous about making mistakes. I always look forward to our lessons and would happily recommend Manon to anyone who wants to learn French!

Je me suis notamment préparée avec lui pour le DALF C1, en particulier pour la production orale.

    I've had the pleasure of learning French with Maïli for a few lessons now and cannot recommend her enough. Somehow, she strikes just the right balance between letting me ramble on in French and jumping in to correct common mistakes and words that she notices I struggle with. Her style of teaching is great for both building confidence and learning the particularities of the language simultaneously, and I've certainly noticed my French really improve since we started lessons. On top of that she's always friendly and enthusiastic to teach, and always has a nice idiom for any occasion --- very effective for making one's French a little more natural!

    Romain is a phenomenal teacher! He’s kind, engaging, and an exceptional conversationalist. I love the balance between structure and flexibility in his lessons. The materials cover diverse topics while leaving room for spontaneous conversations. As someone who asks tons of questions, I appreciate how clearly and patiently he explains things! Since I speak Portuguese and English, connecting French to Portuguese makes a huge difference. Concepts I was trying to learn for months, Romain explained them in less than four minutes! Beyond French, his extensive knowledge makes conversations profoundly enriching. I feel like I’m learning about life, culture, and different perspectives, not just a language. I also appreciate his approach to corrections: he gives room to find your own words and build confidence. After just a couple of lessons, I feel like I’ve progressed beyond what I could’ve imagined! I leave every lesson feeling fulfilled and accomplished. I can’t recommend him enough!! 😊

    Josie is amazing! I really wanted to improve my conversational skills, and I chose her because she seemed dynamic and fun in her video. I’m now more than 20 lessons in and I can definitely confirm that she is not only engaging and easy to talk to, but also incredibly diligent, energetic, smart, thoughtful and hilarious. I expected that we would simply chat in French for an hour each week, and we definitely do that, which has improved my speaking ability immensely. But Josie also goes out of her way to make her lessons as comprehensive and personalized as possible. I moved to France a year and a half ago, and she has been very thoughtful about structuring lessons that will help me to navigate daily life in France and give me exposure to important cultural references. She also tries to make my French less formal and textbook, and more colloquial and natural, which I appreciate immensely. In short, she’s pretty much the idea French teacher!

    I came to Lenaïg with the goal of progressing my French skills from near zero to B1. After 4 sessions I am feeling incredibly confident that I will be able to reach my goal with her help, if I am willing to dedicate the time and effort. I have an anxiety streak, especially around learning new things with an audience but her approach has made this very easy for me. Our sessions feel less like a formal instructor and more like a conversation with a friend. Lenaïg's English is incredibly clear. If you are considering her as an instructor and are coming from a native English background, don't hesitate to book a lesson.

    During the lessons, I discussed a lot of TCF speaking topics with Rim, for example, environmental issues and health topics. I learned how to organize my speech and how to speak more fluently in French. Also, Rim encouraged me to think of different angles for each topic. She definitely helped me a lot in preparing for the exam.

  • Sherry

    I achieved 13 in both speaking and writing with his guidance for TCF Canada. I’m now preparing for DELF B2 and am still learning with him! I highly recommend Sekimi! I’ve taken more than 40 lessons with him, and he helped me go from struggling to express myself to being able to communicate much more freely in French. He is very patient and knows the TCF exam requirements extremely well. Highly recommended! 😊

Frequently asked questions about online French classes

What is the fastest way to learn to speak French?

The fastest way to learn to speak French is with an online French tutor. Working with a tutor ensures your time is focused on the skills that matter most, mistakes are corrected immediately, and your lessons adapt to your level and goals.

To make the most of your learning, take private French lessons tailored to your current level and goals, schedule conversational French classes to practice speaking in real situations and build confidence, and track your progress to adjust focus. Your French teacher can pinpoint weak spots, like pronunciation or verb usage, so every session helps you improve steadily. You can also access free French learning resources, which will help you develop your grammar and vocabulary, and writing skills. This coupled with an italki French tutor will help you on your path to French fluency.

What is the 80/20 rule for learning French?

The 80/20 rule suggests that roughly 20% of what you study produces about 80% of your progress. For French learners, this means focusing on the high-value areas that you use most: common verbs, everyday vocabulary, core grammar patterns, and regular speaking practice.

On italki, a French tutor can help you apply the 80/20 rule by identifying the skills and topics that matter most for your goals. Instead of spending time on rarely used grammar or obscure vocabulary, your private French tutor guides your online French lessons to stay focused, helping you see progress faster.

Are private French tutors worth it?

Yes, private French tutors are worth it if you want faster, noticeable progress in your French learning.

Hiring a private French tutor is worth it because:

  • Lessons are tailored to your goals, whether it’s French lessons for beginners or French conversation classes.
  • You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • One-on-one attention ensures you actively practice speaking in every lesson.
  • Tutors can adjust your French lessons online to focus on your strengths, weaknesses, and learning pace.

Many learners find that combining private French lessons with additional resources, like apps or podcasts, makes learning more efficient and keeps them motivated.

Can you learn French without a tutor?

Yes, you can learn French without a tutor, but most learners progress faster when they work with a French tutor or an online French tutor.

A French tutor helps you:

  • 🗣️ Build correct pronunciation from the start
  • 🛠️ Fix pronunciation and grammar issues before they become habits
  • 📅 Stay consistent with a clear study plan
