5 Benefits of Taking French Lessons on Skype

June 5, 2015

french lessons on skype

When you’re learning French, interacting with native or fluent speakers is one of the best ways to improve your language skills; and in the digital age, connecting with French speakers and instructors is now easier than ever. If you’re looking to take your French to the next level, arranging an online lesson with a French instructor might be just the thing for you.

What’s more, the popular live video platform Skype is the perfect medium for taking French lessons online and offers many benefits to French students of any age or proficiency level.

Ready to get started? Check out these five benefits of taking French lessons on Skype!

1. They can help you quickly learn French pronunciation.

One common thing that French learners struggle with is learning how to correctly pronounce French words. This is because, in most cases, the final consonant sounds are not pronounced in spoken French. Determining when to pronounce or leave off these sounds can be very challenging for new learners of the language.

By working with someone who already knows how to speak French, you can learn correct pronunciation right from the beginning. This prevents you from developing bad habits that are hard to correct later. When taking French lessons on Skype, be sure to use headphones to ensure that you hear the teacher’s pronunciation clearly.

2. They offer more flexibility than traditional lessons.

When taking local, in-person lessons, you are at the mercy of what is available in your area. If you live in an area with few French speakers, you will likely have a limited number of options of French tutors. When taking French lessons on Skype, you can schedule lessons to fit your busy schedule with teachers anywhere in the world.

Whether you prefer morning, afternoon, evening, or even late night classes, you are very likely to find a private tutor who can accommodate your schedule.

3. You will receive individualized instruction.

When taking French lessons on Skype with a private tutor, your sessions will be one-on-one. This means that your teacher can completely customize the lessons to meet your needs.

Because you’ll receive individualized instruction, you can either slow down when struggling with a concept or skip over topics that you’ve mastered.

4. They offer increased convenience.

Even if your in-person French lessons only last 30 minutes to an hour, you might waste a lot of time commuting to and from each session, time that could have been better spent studying new material. When taking French lessons on Skype, all you have to do is turn on your computer a few minutes before the lesson begins.

When it’s over, you can immediately review the material or move on to other things you need to do. Because it is easy to attend your French lessons, you will stay motivated to stick with them.

5. You can try multiple teachers.

Every teacher has a different teaching style. Taking French lessons online gives you access to many different teachers, each with his or her own strength or expertise. When you start taking French lessons on Skype, you should try out a few different teachers to find the one who best matches your learning style. If you’re planning on taking more than one lesson per week, you can even sign up with multiple teachers.

The best way to learn any language is to use it. When you start taking online French lessons with Skype, you are sure to see a big improvement in your French skills.
