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.

Who are we?

It’s nice that a teacher be a native speaker of the language they teach, it’s better if they also speak yours as a native. Press play to learn about our bilingual teaching of French.

How does it work?

There’s so much depth to this website, we think it’s easier to show a video than to try to lay it all out in pictures and in writing. This is why we deliver results: no more grey zones!

About our Classes

Through the marvels of technology and distance learning, we are most happy to bring our French classes to Braine l’Alleud.

Located in the State of CT, OuiCommunicate is a language school that specializes in teaching French to learners who have English as mother tongues.

Our unique approach to teaching guarantees that  our students are perfectly understood as speakers of English approaching French.

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.

We hope to meet you soon!

Become our next "success story!"

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!

About Braine l'Alleud

Being an expat in Belgium can be an isolating experience. Believe me, I know. I lived there for over 30 years and Braine l’Alleud was just down the E411 from mine.

Even for natives, it throws you off at every turn. The language situation is one of the most complex ever and more often than not, you have the impression of living in 2 half-countries.

Be that as it may, French is still a national language in Belgium and well worth learning as a personal investment.

What our school brings to the table is different from the majority of language schools. We see it as a necessary step up. It’s nice that a teacher be a native speaker of the language they teach, it’s better if they also speak yours as a native. Anything else is one-sided since the teacher tells you how their language works without knowing you as a learner or a person.

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.

It’s quite simple: we meet up online and your teacher (myself) assesses your French, recommends specific areas of learning. We then say goodbye and from then on, you are free to take as much time to learn until the next meetup.

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.

We unashamedly admit we challenge tradition. We don’t think that being a native speaker is enough, we’ve never seen typical 60 minute classes deliver the results and we don’t think a teacher should “teach”.

Our university background in linguistics and in teaching (Masters) has allowed to reflect on what we were all doing wrong. We just happened to say “Enough!” before anyone else.

Sitting in a class to learn a language is probably the last thing anyone wants. But the light of reason sometimes takes time to reach the darkest corners of the human experience!

Another reason we set up this page is that Braine l’Alleud is somewhat lacking in opportunities to learn French as expats. There are some schools, but none that specialize in a similar way we do.

If you are currently shopping for a good school to learn French, you can read our guide on how to choose a language school. Best be prepared with some insider’s knowledge!

Dear friends, we sincerely hope to meet you soon and learn all about your experience in Belgium.  Thanks for stopping by!

Our course can be yours now!
