About our French classes
In-person or Online
Hi, I'm Chris. The owner of OuiCommunicate.
"Give the customer much more than they paid for."
This is the business principle I follow.
On this page we'll see how we manage to make it happen.
Our Pricing Explained
Our French Classes are 20 minutes long and include access to our e-learning platform. You also have online support for any questions as well as a sense of belonging. We cater for you as individual learners.
Chat GPT rightly tells us that the average language class across the USA is between 15$ to 50$ per hour.
There are many reasons why this is neither cost-effective, nor time effective. We don't follow this model.
Selling time and selling skill are two different business models. We are in the business of selling you skill. This is what our customer base wants.
The type of pricing that we find in traditional language schools sell classes by the hour. Knowing that our target customer has neither the time nor the inclination to sit in hour-long classes, there was a need to set up our pricing differently.
When you sign up with us, you immediately get over 20 hours of video classes that explain French and help you practice all the essential notions. See it as your own personal French class that you can log into from anywhere, at any time.
You also get is over 800 pages of PDF that match these learning videos.
When you purchase the course, we will explain exactly which exercise to prepare before our next meetup. The human element offers you the personal coaching and the technology offers you the flexibility.
Our current price for 12 personal coaching classes is: 250 USD. (includes unlimited online support)

Who is your teacher?
Hi, my name is Chris. Thanks for stopping by.
I graduated from the Free University of Brussels with a Master’s Degree in Linguistics and Literature. During this time, I learned German and I capped it off with a Teaching degree. (Post Graduate Certificate in Education)
I then taught English as a Foreign Language and French. While I worked for other schools, I started to understand that having two native languages was a valuable skill when teaching. This is why I started OuiCommunicate in the UK first, then in the USA.
I grew up in Belgium in a British family. We spoke English at home and French was used in everyday life such as school and university.
I would describe myself as a European foremost and British second. When I meet other Europeans here in the States, I notice we connect somehow through our conversation. My American wife finds this very amusing!
OuiCommunicate is a labour of love, as goes the saying. When you study linguistics and literature in college as I did, there are definitely no classes on “How to market your skills to make 1 million bucks!” It’s definitely not the frame of mind. It’s good because people like me get into teaching with a strong sense of integrity. To a fault, I’d almost say!
When I’m not working on this website or teaching, I do many things. I play a lot of music on different instruments such as the electric guitar, the acoustic guitar, the bass, the drums, the trombone even!
I don’t play in a band at this time, but still write little tunes of my guitar from my acoustic project, and I also enjoy playing along to old Jamaican ska songs on the trombone. My favourite years are 1964-68.
I was very much into film photography for several years and still have a number of old box cameras. I was even published in an art book one time, which is nice. When things are more settled, I will get back into it.
The bilingual element plays a large part in my French classes. It can be hard to explain. I grew up as a Brit in terms of my culture, but then there’s also the whole European French speaking side that I understand just as well.
In this day and age, identity plays a strong role – especially with gender issues, etc. In clear, my background is in alternative music and “underground scenes”. There were all manner of minorities long before the mainstream got ahold of these terms. It almost seems retrograde to reassure people that I am not anti-gay or anti-this or that. It’s always been a non-issue to me. We accept everyone, as it should be.
I am happily married and my wife is an auditor. We want a collection of animals including but not limited to: a Husky, a Jack Russel, a sheepdog, some ducks, some sheep, an owl, a red panda, and a turtle on a skateboard.
Thanks for checking out this page!
