Who are we?
How does it work?
A 40-class plan to cover 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”.
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.
The lady in this video is originally from NY 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 Anchorage...
It would be untrue to say that the city of Anchorage makes it into many French conversations. If asked the question, it is safe to say that most Europeans would not know where to place it on the map.
However, all would have heard of Alaska and have a good idea that it’s really cold there and that there’s a lot of snow!
A great thing about Alaska is that it allows for a little impromptu French class based on the name.
The word Alaska will teach you an important French sound. The letter A only has one sound attached to it and doesn’t vary as it does in English. A is always A, no matter the word.
There’s also the fact that Alaska has 3 syllables (A/las/ka). Instead of accentuating the 2nd one, we always place the weight on the last one in French: Alas/KA. The “KA” carries the weight.
This little lesson does not suggest that there are no language schools in Anchorage because there are. But none that do what we do. We specialize in bilingual French classes specifically made for speakers of English. We can do this because we are bilingual ourselves and this makes your job much easier.
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 part of your mistakes, they will miss many others. And often, they won’t know how it relates to English. (such as we do with the word Alaska)
Here’s another example: how does the future tense in English match up with the future tense in French? is it the same? Is it much different?
Your typical FLE 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 Anchorage, we have come to make your learning easier. And in the cold months of winter you might even find further comfort in nice cosy online French classes. No more battling the snow to make it to class!
