Apprendre le français- niveau débutant

07/04/2026

In 2020, I began my journey of learning the French language. At first, it felt difficult—almost impossible. But with consistency and determination, I gradually improved and reached a commendable level of proficiency.

Along the way, I actively participated in French groups and discussions, competed in French competitions, and sat for French diploma examinations—all thanks to the strong support system from my alma mater and my dedicated French teacher. I am also proud to be a member of my French family, formerly known as La Maison Française, which has been an important part of my growth.

With a solid foundation and a deep understanding of the basics, I went on to start my own French tutorial, Apprendre le français. I’ve had the privilege of teaching enthusiastic students, working with schools in Owerri, and currently serving as an online French tutor at Ma Petite France, Lagos.

Even as a medical student, I make time to teach because it’s something I genuinely love ❤️.

I truly believe that learning a language opens doors to endless opportunities—and French has been one of mine.

🇫🇷 Behind the Scenes: My Work as a French Tutor/How I Prepare For My French Lessons

Bonjour ! 👋
My name is David (aka Lesage), a private online French tutor and also an online tutor with Ma Petite France, Lagos, Nigeria. Teaching French is more than a job for me — it’s a passion I truly enjoy and take pride in.

Each class I conduct is designed with creativity, structure, and warmth. I always aim to create a welcoming and engaging environment where my students can learn comfortably and confidently. Working with Ma Petite France has given me the opportunity to share my love for the French language while helping learners develop real communication skills that go beyond the classroom.

It’s always rewarding to see progress, smiles, and that spark of confidence when a student realizes — “Oui, je peux parler français !” 🇫🇷✨
