Welcome to FrenchRev!
Let’s get down to the brass tacks. French and other world languages stick out like sore thumbs in the traditional line up of school subjects. That’s because language cannot be acquired through the drudgery of (mostly linguistic and grammatical) analysis. They resist being acquired by talking about themselves. They flourish in the wild.
As early as the 1960’s, Leonard Newmark was telling us that language was stoked on the fuel of comprehension.
For those who are into quotes, here’s one you can hang hat on: “To the extent that the learner is able to attach linguistic meanings to linguistic inputs, to that extent he [sic] is able to learn the language (Newmark, 1981, p. 37).”
He said it more politely, but basically, what Newmark meant was that the drudgery of linguistic analysis was bullshit.
FrenchRev’s two master teachers, Élisabeth Denizot and Sabrina Sebban Janczak, engineer the classroom experience using meaningful and compelling comprehensible input. Our students are the holders of a well-kept and important secret language learning hack: come to FrenchRev to amuse yourself (you will), and you will walk away with a greater proficiency and love for French.
If this speaks to the way you want to acquire a language, sign up!
