Varsity Tutors can assist French language learners to enroll in a Memphis French course that can help them learn the language as a total beginner or as someone who wants to improve their current level. Studying a foreign language can be a frustrating activity, especially if you don't have the right guidance and strategies in learning. A Memphis French course can set you on the right path and provide you with the tutelage of an experienced French language teacher who can teach you the technical part of the language. Important aspects such as grammar and accent can be tricky, but our course can help you practice through fun and engaging instruction and conversation.
French is not only spoken in France. In many parts of Europe, North and West Africa, and parts of Southeast Asia, it is an official language or has second language status. In countries like Belgium, Switzerland, Monaco, and in parts of Canada, French is being used both in daily conversation and in business settings. It is also the second-most widely spoken language in international business, so being able to speak it can open doors to many professional opportunities and help you gain more insights into other people's cultures.
If you are like other high school students from Harding Academy of Memphis or Lausanne Collegiate School who are looking for a suitable French language course, a college student at University of Memphis who needs a refresher course in French, or a professional who needs to learn the language for work, Varsity Tutors can help you enroll in a Memphis French class that suits your requirements.
What material will a Memphis French course cover?
For English speakers, learning French can have very familiar aspects since these two languages are related. French is a Romance language that came from Latin with German and English influences, while English came from the Germanic language with French and Latin influences; thus, they have similarities such as the alphabet and a number of true cognates. However, peculiarities in French grammar, the use of gendered nouns, pronunciation, and irregular verb conjugations can easily confuse learners. Studying in your Memphis French class with your highly qualified language instructor and working on sentences and grammatical points with other students can make it easier for you to make sense of things you don't understand.
Our French classes are offered at different levels, but no matter which level you enroll in, there are certain language principles that will be covered and drilled so that students can make real progress and built the skills to advance to higher levels if they wish to pursue further language studies.
Some of the key topics that will be covered in your French class materials include:
- Nouns
- Verbs
- Adjective agreement in gender and number
- Etre and Avoir
- Nominalisation
- Agreement of the past participle with avoir
- Collective nouns agreement
- Articles
- Prepositions
- Tenses
- Past Perfect
- Past Conditional
- Subjunctive: present, imperfect and past perfect
How will a Memphis French class help me learn?
When learning a language, comfort and convenience are two factors that can greatly influence a student's motivation. If learning becomes too difficult and doesn't fit the student's busy schedule, he or she may soon lose interest and give up on the whole thing. With this in mind, Varsity Tutors designed online French classes where students can study or join a class in the comfort of their homes. The classes are provided in virtual classrooms where you will learn the language through interactive lessons with your instructor and classmates. You can ask questions, practice conversation with a group, and be exposed to real French pronunciation by listening to your expert instructor.
Since the French class you will attend is entirely online, you don't have to worry about commuting to get to lessons. You can set up your study area wherever you want - it can be in your bedroom, kitchen, or any place you feel you can better concentrate. We all know that preparing, getting dressed, and traveling to a location can take time and cause us extra stress before our lessons. Fortunately, with online French classes, you no longer need to go through the hassles of the daily commute. The time you save from commuting is time you can add to studying.
Another important factor that can help you learn and improve your skills in French is the expert instructors handling each class. In order to ensure that only highly qualified teachers are able to take care and train the students, Varsity Tutors implements a rigorous interviewing and vetting process for all potential instructors. Besides the actual language skills of private instructors, we also take in consideration their ability to communicate concepts and technical aspects of the language. This means they are not only required to know the foreign language they are teaching but also have the skills that make up a good and effective communicator.
Finally, if ever there is a language rule, a sentence, or other items you cannot fully understand, you can still request a 1-on-1 lesson with your instructor. With an individual lesson, you can address your core difficulties faster, get specific answers to your questions, and have personalized attention from your instructor that may not be as easily available in a regular classroom.
