Skype French lessons

You don't need much to learn French with Skype, but you will need the following before you can start your classes:

• Hardware:
  • A computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a reliable processor and sufficient RAM (at least 4GB recommended).
  • A webcam for video calls, either built-in or external.
  • A microphone, either built-in, in a headset, or an external one, for clear audio communication.
  • Speakers or headphones to hear the tutor clearly.
• Software:
  • The latest version of Skype installed on your device - it's easy to use and free to setup an account.
  • A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or Linux).
  • Optional: Additional software for screen sharing or document collaboration if needed for lessons.

Regarding connection speed, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 1.5 Mbps for both download and upload for high-quality video classes. However, a faster connection (3 Mbps or higher) is ideal to ensure smooth and uninterrupted sessions, especially for high-definition video quality.

We've been at the front of helping people to learn a foreign language over the internet since 2006. All our tutors are specialists in enhancing fluency, building speaking confidence, and ensuring an efficient and effective path to becoming fluent in French.

Additionally, our friendly customer service team is available to address any questions and concerns. We also offer an extra trial lesson if you're not completely satisfied with your French tutor after your first class.

Our teachers can specialize in helping you prepare for official French language proficiency exams, such as the DELF (Diplôme d'Études en Langue Française), DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française), and TEF (Test d'Évaluation de Français). By connecting you with native French-speaking teachers, we provide targeted and effective tutoring that focuses on all aspects of these exams, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Our tutors are not only fluent speakers but also have in-depth knowledge of the specific formats and requirements of these tests, ensuring that you receive the most comprehensive preparation available.

Whether you're looking to enhance your conversational skills, master complex grammar rules, or refine your writing abilities, our teachers provide practical tips and strategies tailored to the exam, helping you build the confidence and competence necessary to excel. With expert guidance, you'll be well-prepared to achieve your language certification goals.

We offer a variety of payment options for your lessons, including credit/debit cards and PayPal.

All prices displayed represent the total cost before any applicable discounts or promotions and you can choose to pay in your local currency.

We know that becoming fluent in French takes time, so unlike other platforms we have a great discount scheme which is based on your booking history rather than how many lessons you can afford to purchase in one go. This means that French classes on Skype with Verbalplanet become progressively cheaper whether you book one lesson at a time or twenty.
