I enjoy learning languages as a hobby. It's fun and it makes travelling a lot more interesting! After visiting France for the first time this year, I was hooked -- the people, culture, sights and language are fascinating. But the little bit of French I'd learned from tapes didn't help much.
So ... I decided to learn French seriously when I got home. There were no tutors where I live. Plus, I'm a busy guy and there's no way I can take the time for a language course in a school.
I found Frenchplusonline by a random web search and decided to take the trial lesson. At first I didn't know what to expect, but after the trial lesson I was convinced. French is the second language I've studied and I can say with all honesty that the teachers at Frenchplusonline are as good as or better than any I've encountered anywhere. The instructors are demanding -- expect to work hard.
But they are really supportive, and the learning environment using Skype or Line from home is great. I found I could work at whatever pace was comfortable to me.
The instruction is excellent, the price is right and I don't have to get in the car or deal with non-native teachers. I've been taking about 2-3 lessons a week for 5 months now and already have had real conversations with French people. Incredible! I can't say enough about Frenchplusonline and can't wait to use my new language on my next trip to France!!
