Find your French tutor in Petersham

Self-studying French works well when you build strong habits from the very beginning.

• 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.
• Listening practice: expose yourself to native French through podcasts, films and YouTube to train your ear.
• 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.

In language learning, the Pareto principle tells you to prioritise the 20% of French that covers 80% of everyday communication.

• 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.
• Common phrases: set expressions and collocations let you speak naturally without constructing every sentence from scratch.
• 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.
