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.
French Classes in Guernsey
The first time I discovered Guernsey was during a family holiday my mum had booked over 25 years ago. We saw the ruins, the beaches, the many museums…Ten years later I had the opportunity to go back a second time and see it with a new perspective. “Interestingly bilingual”, I would call it.
Guernsey should technically be French because of the closeness with France but it’s British instead. This unique facet complements rather well our field of specialty: bilingual online French classes.
Before setting up a webpage such as this, we carefully look around to see what’s already on offer. Guernsey does have some very good schools but they don’t exactly do what we do.
The ball park we play in is our own. We do French classes but they are given by a teacher who takes your English into account. We can do this because we are as much native speakers of English as of French. We know both perfectly and we have trained ourselves to teach a very precise type of student.
Here’s an example: the French verb for “laying” is “poser”. We can lay a shirt on the bed, we can lay the table, even lay a thin coat of mustard on some bread. Does the verb “poser” work in exactly the same way? A teacher would have to be completely bilingual to know the answer to that. This the sort of thing we can offer you in as quick as it takes you the time to ask the question.
And it’s not the just a skill that Guernsey is missing. So far we’ve not found a single school in the whole of America that can do what we do.
A French teacher who is a “real native” from France or other is important, certainly. After all, they know all the answers and can tell you how you should be speaking. But the fact remains that they don’t know how it feels to be a speaker of English. And if you still feel you sound too English despite your classes, you can probably work out the reason for yourself.
A second big difference with other schools and classes is that we don’t just organize a 60 minute classes on the theme of French. Instead, we coach you and we provide the learning material that is designed to be used for quick progress.
Here is why we do this: If you’ve been to university or completed any sort of certificate or diploma, you will know that it’s not the fact of attending the class that got you the passing grade. It was the work that you did on your own. We are no different in our French course.
Since we’re online, you literally study at any time of day or night you want. (By the way, this is free. What a cost saver!)
We hope to see you soon, dear French students of Guernsey. Ask us all the questions you like and “merci” for stopping by! Chris.

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!
