Bilingual French classes in New York
Hi, I'm Chris. Head teacher at OuiCommunicate.
We're home to speakers of English who need a step up from one-sided French classes.
Native speaker of French is no longer enough.
Your teacher needs to be twice that.
This is what we do.
If your French teacher doesn't quite "get" you
If you need flexible bookings
Try an English-to-French bilingual school
We can make your life easier!
Who are we?
How does it work?
A 40 class plan to learn French
Thanks to the Internet, there is no more need to be present in the same room to conduct a successful language class. There are actually many reasons why in-person classes are less effective, slower and quickly lead to becoming “hobby-classes”.Â
Probably not the best approach if you want to learn French with intent.
OuiCommunicate is a coursework-based language school. We have the French language available for you on our website in the form of worksheets, videos and quizzes.
You only pay for the 20-minute meetups with your teacher, in which we assess your understanding of specific parts of French.
Speaking French will gradually be integrated as you develop better tools. French will be taught to you as a speaker of English, with full understanding of your background.
As a result, you can expect to build strong foundations in French to become a confident speaker. You will have all the tools to grow and develop as an independent speaker of French.
Become our next "success story"!
The lady in this video is from Jackson Heights and wished for us to help prepare her move to France.
Today, she is fluent and happily lives in France where she meets new people and uses French daily.
The “secret” to her success is nothing more than what we offer you: the same learning material and the same approach.
But don’t take our word for it: read the review she wrote for our Google Business page!

A word about New York...
New Yorkers are known to get things done…in a hurry! No time to sit around, it’s go, go, go!. But it’s also known for culture and for having the largest French-speaking population in the US.
Looking around the city and the State, there are certainly many good language schools. Some even use the word “bilingual” quite casually. But what does it mean?
If it means that the teachers are perfect native speakers of French and English and can teach you as speakers of English, that’s fantastic! It means they do the same thing as us. But they don’t and here’s why we’re different.
Did you know that 99% of all French classes and taught by native French speakers? We know this because we look them up one by one and know what they offer.
The issue with this is that you are not a native speaker of French but of English. And such teachers cannot appreciate what it feels like to be you, even if they speak English quite well.
As a speaker of English you carry a certain language logic within you. This interferes when you learn French, such as the accent you might have.
A “strictly French” teacher does not know what it feels like to be a native speaker of English. Even if they hear the larger of your mistakes, they will miss many others. And often, they won’t know how it relates to English.
Here’s an example: how does the future tense in English match up with the future tense in French?
Your typical FLE French teachers are not trained to know this. But we do times a million. We know how every little word and sound matches up between English and French.
Dear French students of New York, we hope that we can make your learning easier. It’s called bilingual teaching and it’s designed for effectiveness.
I hope to meet you soon! Chris.
