Dear Visitor,

Thanks for visiting the website!

I'm Chris, your language coach at OuiCommunicate.

I launched this platform in November 2019 after 4 years of online teaching.  My purpose is to help students acquire French  by putting at your disposal the best of my know-how as a  trained teacher. 

Growing up  in an expat context, I developped a native-like understanding of both French and English.   We spoke English at home and French in everyday life. 

It is this skill that I wish to put to the service of students learning French! 

STUDIES

I was naturally drawn to languages and chose to study for a 

Master's degree in Linguistics and Literature.  I got to experience the challenge of learning a new language by taking on German for 5 years.

I then added a PGCE to my Masters,  which is a further year at university that qualifies to teach in schools.  

To perfect my understanding of English,  I later  completed several TEFL certificates.    

OUI COMMUNICATE

When thinking up Ouicommunicate I knew I had something amazing in my hands: a way to make French lessons easier than ever-before. 

There is a way in which we view languages, based on our first language. We assume certain things, we pronounce certain words in a certain way etc.  

However, when your tutor knows exactly where you are coming from and can provide links and shortcuts for your learning , things get easy quickly ! 

Today,  with Oui Communicate I teach learners from all around the world. Some enjoy French as a hobbie, others need it to adapt to a new country.  

Whatever the reason, the ride has been great and continues to be everyday !
