Introducing our BRAND NEW
Speak French Like a Native series!
*** If you have any problems downloading your purchases, please get in touch with me at claire@frenchinthemidlands.com ***
These ebooks have been developed by myself after years of helping students achieve their goals, be it learning for pleasure, living in France, or passing an exam.
Each one is based on the "bare-bones" approach I teach in my one-to-one courses - it only includes what you really need to be able to SPEAK the language and no more. Also, I made sure these were written for the layperson!
Students get all the booklets FREE with my one-to-one courses, but you can purchase them below if you want to self-study or just need a revision guide.

Speak French Like a Native: Verbs and Tenses - £12
|
|
The most concise grammar book you will ever find - only learn the tenses you need to speak French effectively!
These no-fluff manuals are suitable for complete beginners, as well as GSCE/A-level students who need to revise the main tenses, basically anyone who wants to understand how to put together a sentence in the right form and the right tense. |
The Manual contains the 6 main French tenses you need to speak French, how to construct them with examples and tables for the 7 most useful irregular verbs. I explain everything you need to know about verbs and what to do with them. You will also get a guide about when to use which tense.
The Exercises contain 2 different daily routines in the main 4 tenses (the only ones you would ever use in that situation) and encourage you to write your own by giving you a list of sentences to use as a template. You can even email me your own routine and I will provide one correction! Plus, you also get a quick revision chart with a few sentences in all 6 tenses.
The Verb Table includes a spreadsheet of the 90 most commonly used verbs in order of frequency, their translation and some examples in the Present and Perfect tenses. You will also get a list of the most commonly misused verbs and expressions in everyday conversation. As a bonus, I have also included a list of difficult structures for you to learn.

What Students Say
I think the videos are very good, professional, and comprehensive - they cover every eventuality on the telephone. They are rich in vocabulary (and important facts like the numbers for the emergency services) so there's plenty of new words to learn.
The sentences are very natural everyday French and there are some interesting words and phrases that you explain as you go along such as 'elle est clouée au lit'.
I particularly like the fact that you read the dialogues first (so we can practice listening skills) then see the dialogue in French (reading skills) and then finally in English. Also you repeat the dialogue in French so it's good for perfecting pronunciation too.
