What skills or material can Austin French lessons cover to help me learn the language?

Learning a new skill can be overwhelming and frustrating. Learning French is no exception to this statement. With assistance and hard work, you can work towards fluency. You'll be able to work on six foundational skills: reading, writing, speaking, listening, pronunciation, and memorization of grammar, sentence structure, gendered nouns or definite/indefinite articles. Mastering these skills can help you work towards fluency when conversing in French.

Working on reading can help you with spelling and grammar. Working on writing can help you with conjugating verbs. Conversational practice can help with pronunciation, speech, and listening skills all at the same time. Memorization will help you expand your vocabulary and help you speak more quickly without having to translate in your head. Your class can help you come up with tips and tricks to improve all these areas. Learning in this way can make learning exciting again.

How is working with a private Austin French tutor different than being in a class?

When you work with an Austin French tutor, you gain the advantage of one-on-one instruction which is created to focus on your specific needs. Your sessions will revolve around your personal strengths and weaknesses, and your teacher can take into account your preferred learning style when making lesson plans. For example, if you're a visual learner, lessons can include various videos. Learning when the method suits your personality and needs can be more enjoyable and can help with understanding and retention. You'll also be able to work at your own pace. As the only student, there's no reason to waste your time going over the same topics you already understand. Instead, you can focus on the areas which you know need the most help. Lessons can be adjusted to focus on new skills or content as you improve in skills and material. This is an excellent option for a student who really prefers an independent and informal study session.
