Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 24 Mar 2020Interest topicReizenITFood
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

We had fun learning grammar with a dialogue that she sent me on Google Docs. This is a fun way to learn new vocabulary and brush up on grammar.

Trial lesson with Carine was very productive. She took the time to get to know my goals and what we can do to work on these areas. We had an informal introduction in French so she can assess the level of my vocabulary, listening skills, and production skills. She was very patient, and I really felt comfortable. Looking forward to more lessons with her.
