Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 24 Mar 2020InterestsReizenITFood
I am a French native teacher living in Tokyo. I have studied languages with different methods: in college (English), in full immersion (Spanish), in language schools (Japanese), and with online courses (Italian).
This is what I think:
👉 Learning random words doesn't work > Instead, learn sentences with key vocabulary using a topic that matters.
👉 I had strict teachers and it was so stressful, that I wanted to give up > Learning a language should be fun! If you are not having fun, the method is wrong.
👉 Without pronunciation teaching and speaking practice, you will never be able to speak naturally > Learning the pronunciation rules is crucial to speaking AND understanding French.Ik als leerkracht
🔊 Why Choose Me as Your French Teacher?
🎯 Speak French naturally on topics that matter to you: Why do you need to learn French?: Is it for work? Is it for tourism? Something else? It's important to focus on common structures and vocabulary that French people use in real life and in contexts you are interested in.
🎯 Speak French like a native: My method is focused on pronunciation and goes beyond traditional French teaching which usually doesn't include this crucial part. I have done a lot of research on the difficulties students face with French pronunciation to create a method that is easy to understand and will ensure that you'll sound like a native speaker.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I use a shared Google doc in which I take notes during the class and put the homework.
✍ Homework: Dialogues, audio, grammar/vocabulary exercises from textbook, and my own vlogs and podcast episodes+ other resources youtube videos, news...)
For Beginners: We build the foundation with:
👉 My "4 blocks" method: 1. Verb Block / 2. Time Block / 3. Connectors blocks/ Structures Block.
👉 Flashcards
👉 Pronunciation rules
For intermediate students:
👉We have a conversation on a topic of your choice or I send you materials on a particular topic and we discuss it. During the conversation, I take notes of your grammar and pronunciation mistakes, and I suggest better ways to express yourself.Mijn lesmateriaal

Carine was very clear, friendly, and instructive. She balanced good conversation to help us get to know each other with good instruction, this made the lesson feel informative but also enjoyable. It was nice to get the lesson instruction but also have time to ask questions.

We went through the homework together which helped me to understand the questions asked and how to properly answer them. I learn a lot of vocabulary in each lesson.

I am getting better at conversation in French with Carine. She helps me with vocabulary when I can't think of the right words and writes in our Google Doc for me to study.
