French courses for Au Pairs in France – Practical conversation workshops
To feel comfortable in France and fully enjoy your au pair experience, it’s crucial to master the basics of French. This includes being able to ask for directions, understand restaurant menus, and interact with children and families. For example, by learning common phrases such as “Where is the train station?” or “I’d like a coffee, please,” you’ll feel more confident in your day-to-day life.
Learning French is essential to fully enjoy and succeed in your au pair experience in France.
At Au Pair Butrfly, we offer French classes specially designed for au pairs, focused on real-life communication and daily situations.
Our French as a Foreign Language (FLE) workshops help au pairs:
✔ communicate confidently with host families
✔ become more independent in France
✔ integrate into French culture faster
✔ improve speaking skills quickly
Nos French courses sont spécialement conçus pour vous aider à tirer le meilleur parti de votre expérience en tant qu’au pair.
French classes taught by a certified FLE teacher
The workshops are led by Loren Esposito, an independent FLE teacher, certified by the Alliance Française and based in Rennes.
Through her teaching business French with Loren, Loren supports international learners in a:
🎯 interactive
🎯 supportive
🎯 practical
🎯 motivating environment
Her goal is to help au pairs speak French naturally and confidently in everyday life.
Les méthodes d’enseignement sont variées et incluent des jeux de rôle qui simulent des situations réelles. Par exemple, un atelier pourrait impliquer le jeu de rôle d’une sortie au marché où les participants doivent négocier le prix des fruits et légumes. Cela les aide à appliquer leur apprentissage dans un contexte pratique.
Who are these French classes for?
👩🍼 Au pairs living in France
📘 Level A2 to B1
👥 Small groups (4 to 6 participants)
The lessons focus on real-life needs: childcare communication, daily routines, shopping, appointments, and social situations.
Les ateliers sont également un excellent moyen de rencontrer d’autres au pairs. Vous pouvez partager des expériences, des conseils sur la vie en France et même pratiquer le français ensemble en dehors des cours. Cette camaraderie peut rendre l’apprentissage plus agréable et motivant.
A conversation-based method to improve quickly
Un autre aspect positif de notre méthode conversationnelle est qu’elle permet une pratique régulière. Les participants sont encouragés à poser des questions et à interagir activement, ce qui leur donne l’occasion de s’exprimer et de recevoir des retours immédiats sur leur prononciation et leur grammaire.
Each 1h15 workshop includes:
🗣 Introduction of the day’s topic
💬 Group discussions and role plays
📚 Personalized language focus
All learning materials are available online via Notion and sent as PDFs after the course.
