Hi, I’m Joel
I live around the world for almost 10 years. In each country, I always try to learn the basics of the language. I now speak French, English and Spanish plus have basics in other languages.
But I was tired of learning words that noone was using in real life. I was seeking for the quickest way to speak the fundamentals: small talks, numbers, how to bargain at the market, how to order a coffee etc.
Since I couldn't find it, I decided to create a course to help everyone who has the same need for the French language.
My knowledge of languages and my years of experience as a French teacher helped me to build a unique teaching method to help hundreds of students around the world.
1. Tell us about your background and journey?
I'm a French digital nomad. I've been living and traveling around the world for the last 12 years. I particularly like Vietnam. I spent a few years of my life there, in a lovely city called Da Nang.
2. What inspired you to teach french particularly?
Languages were always a part of my journey. When you live somewhere new, learning basic vocabulary is part of it. Around the world, people were eager to learn French and were often asking me to teach them basic French words.
3. What methods do you usually prefer to teach your students?
I use Instagram. It's an amazing tool to have daily quality content.
4. What things do you keep in consideration while making study material for french learners?
Learning should be fun. Otherwise you will lose your motivation. I try to keep my lessons interesting and fun. The objective: learning naturally without having the impression of studying too hard.
5. How can one keep them self motivated while learning a language?
Find a purpose and a deadline. Example: in 2 months I will travel to Paris. I need to be able to survive in France by myself.
6. Who inspires you the most and why?
Clearly my students and followers. I'm always paying great attention to their feedback. My lesson plans evolve with the needs of my followers.
7. What tips and advice would you give to french learners?
Consistency is the key. Don't work too hard, but never stop. 5mn a day everyday is much better than studying hard a few hours a day each week.
8. Which is your favorite book and why?
For a French book, Le Petit Prince is a must. An amazing small book great for kids and adults. A great book to add to your French journey. On a personal level, I currently read Sapiens from Yuval Noah Harari and I love it.
