Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How to learn French in New York, NY and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study with apps, you have several primary opportunities for learning French interactively in New York, NY. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are better priced.) Your second possibility can be local private language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can choose a private French tutor in New York, NY. If flexibility is key, you can compare local New York, NY and online French tutors.
 

🎟 How expensive is it to learn French and what are the ballpark lesson costs for French tutors?

For university and college courses you can estimate French course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for fifty or so class hours each semester. Language academies and independent French tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly French tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 21 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, positive reviews and student demand. Average reviews for French lessons on Preply is 4.89 out of 5 stars.
 

📚 What are the requirements for French language skill level to sign up for a course?

When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and exams, so research each program in advance. With personal French tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.
 

🔥 Why is French so hard and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn French. In reality, you can gain basic French fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand most expressions, have simple conversations, socialize in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of French. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have French tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.
 

🤷 How long does it take to master French?

Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in French will demand at least 600 hours of study. The actual range of time can differ by a lot depending on your already acquired level of French or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in French out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational French classes online.
 

🤳 What are my options when choosing the French tutor?

In learning centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, certainly! The largest selection of pre-screened French tutors with detailed profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.
 

🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

Colleges usually structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
