Now, let's talk about serious things. Let's get to THE point: communication.
Pain 1: “I don’t understand anything / I speak badly”
Objective: Speak French with confidence, no perfect grammar needed, just use solid and useful phrases for many situations.
Pain 2: “I freeze / I’m not confident”
Objective
Talk without panicking or freezing up, even when improvising, on everyday topics. And above all, take important steps, report a problem or emergency, or make a complaint.
Pain 3: “I know words, but I can’t make correct sentences / I get lost in grammar.”
Pain 4: “I sound awkward / Nobody understands me / I’m embarrassed to speak.”
