Find your French tutor in Alloway

Learning French on your own is entirely possible with the right approach.

• Core grammar: focus on verb conjugation, masculine and feminine nouns, and simple sentence patterns.
• High-frequency words: prioritise the most-used vocabulary and common phrases before tackling complex or rare terms.
• Audio input: regular exposure to spoken French sharpens your pronunciation and builds natural comprehension.
• Active speaking: say words and sentences out loud to build muscle memory and improve your spoken French.

A private tutor accelerates the process by correcting your mistakes in real time and adapting lessons to your goals.

The 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle, says that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your effort.

• Core vocabulary: the top 500–1,000 words used most often in conversation should come before rare or specialised terms.
• Priority grammar: focus on present, past (passé composé) and future tenses before tackling subjunctive or conditional forms.
• High-use phrases: memorising frequent expressions boosts your confidence and immediately makes you sound more natural.
• Targeted review: use spaced repetition to focus your effort on the 20% of material that causes 80% of your errors.

A French tutor helps you identify exactly which 20% to focus on for your personal goals and current level.
