PRACTICING OVER THE PHONE WITH THE INSTRUCTOR: WE CALL IT “LANGUAGE PHONE COACHING”

We are located in Santa Monica, California, but you can benefit from our service from anywhere. Here is why: we offer “language phone coaching” which is the “practicing of conversation” for French or English learners.  Now you can practice conversation in French or in English (by increments of 25 mn) on a day that fits your schedule. Some people like to practice daily for 25 minutes; others like to practice once or twice a week. It’s easy, just call and make an appointment today! We’ll test your level over the phone for free!

LEARNING FOR THE INDIVIDUAL (in a private or group setting)

We’ve been around since 1998.  Even if you think you can’t learn a language, we can teach you French, Spanish, or English (English as a Second Language learners) through our method.  At Speak It Like A Native!!!, we  provide a program we designed that is easy, simple, fun and yet thorough.  We show you how to use your knowledge so you can have fun on your trip and avoid costly mistakes because you did not understand the language.

Our instruction is intended for adolescents and adults in an individual or group setting. We break down all the steps for you. Children may learn a foreign language but only in a private setting (11 and under).

 Speak It Like A Native!!! comes to your home or place of business or you may come to us.

          Despite the fact that a private instruction is recommended in the learning of languages (where you are able to get the undivided attention of the instructor), we have created group settings intended to be more affordable and providing the best quality instruction possible with a limited number of people.

          Intermediate levels 2 and 3 or Advanced students who wish to have a breakthrough in the French language:

FRENCH FOR YOUR STAFF OR YOURSELF –

Today, businesses have a need for better communication and the understanding of the French language and culture. This will improve relationships with your clients. Here is some specific information about our highly effective program, Speak It Like A Native!!!
                  
Just imagine your staff (or executives) being able to comfortably and effectively converse in French, (at the Cannes’s festival for example…).  This would ultimately improve the success of your business.

Our extensive experience has enabled us to develop a system by which individuals can achieve a determined level of competence through intensive, yet enjoyable instruction. Our unique curriculum includes pronunciation, phonics and liaisons, conversation, writing, grammar, vocabulary, as well as expressions, idioms and culture (including culture differences).

 
Group courses:

To become conversational in French requires about eight months of study in a group setting; this enables the student to converse at a beginning level and write French.

The group program is divided into ten modules. Each module is ten weeks in duration and each class is 2 ½ hours long.  One or two classes per week are recommended.

The quality of our instruction is superior and it is quaranteed to challenge your staff’s intellect. Importantly, learning French promotes mental clarity and improves your staff’s English. And it is fun…. 99 % of our students report that they “enjoy the overall experience” of Speak It Like A Native!!!

Progress of each student is closely monitored. Students frequently practice with each other between classes via telephone.  To provide additional opportunities for practice, we arrange appointments for conversation practice with the instructor throughout the week.

On-site instruction is provided for the convenience of your staff.  Our prices include reading, written and oral materials. Class size does not exceed 12 students.

Our rates to businesses are highly competitive.

Private/ semi-private courses:

For executives, we offer private or semi-private instruction.  The curriculum is the same as the group program, yet learning is accelerated due to the focused instruction.  Experience shows that learning is accomplished 3-4 times faster with private lessons. We recommend two, one-hour lessons per week.
