Many of the people who come to me to learn or brush up on their French have a
house in France, Switzerland, Corsica... They want to get involved in the life of the
community they've joined and improving their French is a vital step in this process.

Perhaps you are planning on buying a French property, have been asked to work abroad
or are considering retiring to a more clement climate?
Here's how I've been able to assist some of my students

Christine and Andy have a house near Montpellier
"We could not have coped in France without Kathi’s excellent French teaching. She has helped us,
not only to converse with our French neighbours (and hence to become part of the French
community), but also with the terminology for banking, insurance, repairing the roof, going to
the doctor, what to do in the case of a road accident and even the intricacies of speaking to France
Telecom about internet connections. She is ever-patient and good-humoured and
never makes us feel as though we were back at school! Merci beaucoup et bravo, Kathi"
