During your French course, you will be accompanied by experienced French teachers.
I have always been interested in other cultures and peoples, foreign languages, sharing, welcoming, learning and asking questions.
That is why I chose to study foreign languages (English / German) at the Sorbonne University. Afterwards I started working abroad
(Kenya / Germany / Italy and Great-Britain).
It was at the Alliance Française in Mombasa, Kenya that I took up teaching French as a Foreign Language for young children and hotel trade employees in 1995. This triggered my future love for teaching.
Since 1999, I have been teaching in Aix-en-Provence. At that time, I met Chantal, we became friends and decided to create our own language school, Destination Français, in 2008. Our school links learning French in a friendly way and also in context (i.e. in its environment), as there is nothing like learning the language with French people.
We have accompanied learners from various nationalities, different backgrounds, ages, motivations and also levels
(from beginner to advanced).
We look forward to meeting you,
Fabienne
From the age of 15, my various language courses in Ireland, England, Spain, Germany and Greece gave me the taste for human encounters,
foreign cultures and languages. Following my language studies at Aix en Provence university (Masters in Applied Foreign Languages English / German, language teaching degree in FLE, French as a foreign language) and in Leeds in England
(Higher Diploma in international business), I started teaching French as a foreign language in 1997 in Aix en Provence with passion and creativity
In 2008, endowed with a rich professional experience, I decided to create our own school Destination Français with Fabienne.
We respond to the needs our students have expressed through the years, by ensuring that the Destination Français method is always dynamic, fun and delivered in a practical, cultural context.
For 7 years, the complementarity of our know-how, our personalities and our significant teaching experience bring strength and richness to this great human adventure that teaching a foreign language represents.

Our unique methode of contextual classes
During the first class, you will experience practical and cultural French
in real situations in Aix en Provence.
The aim of combining practical and cultural French is to help you with your everyday needs and to create genuine encounters with French people. This approach will help you to immerse yourself in your environment, and leads to a better understanding of French life and culture. It will also allow you to improve your grammar and vocabulary, based on real situations.
Discovering grammar points and new vocabulary in context allows you to understand and remember them more easily. You can refer back to a real situation in order to remember a new language point.

The 2nd class will be held in a tea-room in Aix en Provence.

I have had a wonderful time learning with Fabienne and Chantal. Not only have they increased my knowledge and understanding of the French language, they have also taught me about the culture and the lifestyle of the french. No question I asked was considered "silly" or irrelevant and was always answered with thought and humour. The structure and pace of the classes were tailored to my lifestyle and learning ability and the inclusion of the contextual classes greatly enhanced my daily life within the village. I am sad that our time has come to an end but happy to have had such a great introduction to our new french life! many thanks to you both

This was a wonderful program for a real beginner in French. Fabienne and Chantal were friendly, encouraging and attentive to our level of knowledge. The walking trips around Aix were great. They placed the vocabulary in context and gave us some practice in using our French. I'll give the program a rave when I provide aHI with feed back.

per me é stata un esperienza indimenticabile. Ho fato il corso ad Agosto per 2 settimane per 2 ore al giorno dalle 9.30 alle 11.30 . Gei orari sono molto comodi in quanto puoi sceglierli tu. Forse i compiti sono un po troppi ma non sono mlto complicati. In generale lo consiglio a tutti grandi e piccoli

Bei Destination Français habe ich in sehr kurzer Zeit erhebliche Fortschritte machen können. Die Durchführung außerhalb eines Klassenzimmers mit praktischen Anwendungen in der Öffentlichkeit lässt einen schnell vergessen, dass es sich doch um einen Unterricht handelt.
Fabienne und Chantal schaffen eine Lernumgebung, in der es einem leicht fällt, sich sprachlich zu verbessern. Besonders gefallen hat mir, dass die beiden sehr flexibel auf die bei allen Neuankömmlingen in einem fremden Land anstehenden Probleme eingegangen sind und den Lernstoff direkt auf das dafür benötigte Vokabular angepaßt haben.
Danke für eine fordernden Unterricht in immer angenehmer und freundschaftlicher Atmosphäre.

Fabienne and Chantal are very dedicated teachers who tried to adjust level of instruction to our nedds and also incorporate our specific interests into the content. Their caring, dedication and professionalism were very evident in their teaching. I would love to have the opportunity again to experience their teaching.

Vielen Dank fur einen Lehrreichen und Unterhaltsamen Kurs. Di zwei Stunden im café vergehen dank der beiden engagierten und liebenswerten Kursleiterinnen wie im Flug und ganz bebenbei setzen sich Vokabeln und grammatik im Kopf fest. Kontinuiert mit einem durch -dachen didaktischen Konzept und gezielten Hausaufgaben eine sehr effiziente Lehrmethode. Nichts zu vergessen den Kulturellen aspekt: wöchentliche , wertvolle Hintergewurdinformationen über das leben in der provence und aktuelle verantaltungen , Kinoabende, Restaurantbesuche... Es war super !

Med Destination Français lärde jag mig snabbt väldigt användbar franska, som hjälpte mig att integrera mig och uträtta allt nödvändigt pappersarbete. Nu fortsätter jag att ta fransklektioner för att upprätthålla och förbättra franskan. Undervisningen är enormt motiverande och perfekt anpassad för vuxna. Jag rekommenderar Destination Français starkt till alla som inte bara vill lära sig franska, men som även vill lära känna den franska kulturen.
