You are your own
best teacher!

You just don't know it yet.

My philosophy:

You can get over your fear of speaking, reach fluency and let your awesome personality shine through in French. And you have everything you need to get there.

It's right there within you.

You just don't know it yet.

However, learning a language is hard. Besides, if like me you can get self-conscious and tend to feel overwhelmed and frustrated easily, becoming confident in a language can seem like an impossible task. And yet I want to share with you that you've got everything you need to finally become fluent and confident in French.

You just need a friendly hand to put you on the right track (that's me!!)

Languages are not just communication systems that need to be learned, or hacked. They're also a means of communication between people. And so you could spend hours on end studying grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and everything else each day, but until you start to look at languages as a way to show who you are and connect with people, you will miss out on one of the most valuable learning resources you can use to become fluent:

That is why with Quirky French, you are going to see that as you become fluent and confident in French, you will actually be studying yourself as a language learner, developing creative and unique ways to study on your own terms, and cultivating your voice and style in French. You'll discover how to work smarter not harder, you'll let go of perfectionism, and you'll use mindfulness to take charge of your learning and take your language skills to the next level.

yourself.

Because it's not just about the French you're studying. 

 

I'm going to guide you along the way and you'll find that all you need to reach your language goal is right here within you. Are you ready to discover what you're capable of? 

 

It's also about yourself in the process of learning.
