French in Plain Sight's video: Why I dropped out of French school and made my own self-study French programme - Expat in France

If you are studying French at a French school for foreigners, or if you have before, and you aren’t sure if it’s the best fit for you but don’t know what else is out there, let me share my experience with you. I went to French school for the first 3-4 weeks of my time in France, already having a grounding in the language. It was an intensive programme, and I thought that it would give me the pressure and skills I needed to level up fast. In reality, it left my confidence low and me feeling like I’d wasted my money. Now, I would recommend anyone with a foundation in French to go the self-study route, by creating your own personalised learning schedule for your own needs. Is French school right for you, or would you prefer to learn the skills to teach yourself? If you need help and guidance with this, then you can reach out to me, French Coach Alex :D. My aim is to show you the simple techniques you need in order to become a self-sufficient French learner and therefore more confident French speaker. I currently have a new 6-week programme.
