        Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

        🌆 How do I improve my French in Merced, CA and what are my options in terms of commitment?

        Besides self-study with special programs, you have 4 primary options for learning French interactively in Merced, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are cheaper.) Your other spource can be local for-profit language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can opt for a private French tutor in Merced, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Merced, CA and online French tutors.

        🎟 Is it cheap to learn French and what do French tutors charge?

        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 rate for 1/2 of a hundred lesson hours each semester. Language schools and independent French tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced French tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 21 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience and languages the tutor can teach in. Average reviews for French lessons on Preply is 4.92 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 pass a few pre-requisites. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and testing, so research the details in advance. With personal French tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

        🔥 Why is French so difficult and are there ways to learn it faster?

        Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn French. As proven by others before, you can gain basic French fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand everyday expressions, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of French. After acquiring 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 brag about their 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 dedication. The actual range of time can differ quite a bit depending on your available 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, try typing using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in French out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational French classes online.

        🤳 Can I pick my own French teacher?

        In colleges and universities, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of approved French tutors with full profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

        🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

        Colleges typically run classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
