My name is Tanguy and I am a native French teacher who taught French grammar and translation at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom. For over 10 years, I have been teaching French to international CEOs, diplomats, and expats in Paris, London, and Saint Barth. Fluent in English, I use a unique comparative method to bridge the gap between English and French structures, specifically addressing the challenges faced by English-speaking learners.

CONTENT OF THE COURSE
Tailored to your level of French
Real-Life Speaking Practice
You will have the opportunity to practice and refine your speaking skills through conversations on small talk and engaging topics, including introducing yourself and others, discussing your daily routine, describing your hobbies, explaining your job and professional tasks, and planning your next holidays.
Practical Everyday Vocabulary
Build your lexicon with specific high-use terms: time phrases (à quelle heure, tout de suite, en retard, dans une semaine), daily life (se lever, être en forme, s’aérer après le travail), restaurant vocabulary (la cuisson, le serveur·euse, commander, demander, régler l’addition), transportation terms (composter, monter vs descendre, se diriger vers), work and professional life (planifier, remettre à plus tard, la réunion, voyage d’affaires), and common connectors (donc, alors, ensuite, d’abord, enfin).
Solid Grammar Foundations
Master essential French structures through practical application: conjugate être and avoir in key tenses (présent, passé composé vs imparfait, futur, conditionnel); use aller + infinitive to express the futur proche; distinguish between tricky grammatical words, including definite and indefinite articles (le/la/les vs un/une/des), partitive articles (du/de la/des), demonstrative adjectives (ce/cet/cette/ces); correctly use and contract prepositions (à+le=au vs à+la=à la vs en); and know the difference between depuis (for ongoing actions and pendant (for a duration).
Clear, Confident Pronunciation
Practice specific sound patterns that trip up English speakers: pronounce tu vs. tout correctly, improve your nasal sounds as in restaurant, un pont, le pain, practice liaison in phrases like vous_/z/_avez, quand_/t/_est-ce que, comment_/t/_allez-vous, and develop the right intonation for positive and negative statements, as well as questions.
Active Listening Development
Through tailor-made listening activities and fill-in-the-blank exercises, you will train your ear to understand fast, natural French speech. These activities are specifically designed to recycle the new vocabulary taught in the theoretical sections. This repetition allows your brain to slowly integrate the new lexicon for long-term retention. Topics will cover a practical spectrum, ranging from personal life to professional work settings.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Communicate clearly and confidently with polished grammar and an expanded vocabulary to navigate key topics, including introductions, family and social life, small talk, and business settings.
Accurately understand your instructor during natural-paced discussions, including their questions and positive or negative statements, by applying the learned course material.
Speak with excellent pronunciation, including mastering individual French sounds, nasal sounds, and proper liaisons.
We are proud to have assisted
over 100 international clients—including executives, diplomats, and their families—to converse confidently with native French speakers in everyday situations

Testimonials
Monica from San Francisco
As an American expat living in Paris, I’ve always felt a little self-conscious about my limited French. While I can navigate the basics of daily life, I truly wanted to immerse myself in the language and culture. That’s why I decided to enroll in Tanguy’s intensive French course. Tanguy is a fantastic instructor. His enthusiasm for the language was contagious, and he made even the most complex grammar points clear and understandable. I highly recommend his intensive course to anyone looking to learn French in a beautiful and immersive environment.
Christina from New York
Having recently moved to Paris with just some rusty high school French, I enrolled in Tanguy’s course. I was impressed by how quickly I progressed in understanding and speaking French for everyday situations. Tanguy’s classes were well-structured, focusing on practical vocabulary and grammar relevant to navigating Parisian life. A highlight for me was the emphasis on authentic French speech patterns, contrasting textbook language with how Parisians actually communicate, making comprehension and interaction much more natural and useful.
