Impossible n’est pas français. This expression, often translated as ‘nothing is impossible’ means even more than that in French. Simply put, impossible just doesn’t exist in the French language 🙂
I started teaching French occasionally many years ago when a neighbour wanted help with her SLE (Second Language Evaluation) levels. I was familiar with the tests, since several friends and colleagues had to do the same thing. Throughout the years, I’ve helped hundreds of individuals to achieve their levels. I have found that regardless of the person’s origins, exposure to French or personality, anyone can do it. And so can you! Maybe you’re reading this and speaking French scares you. Maybe you look for your words, and everything seems difficult. It’s completely normal, you shouldn’t get discouraged. You must spend time with the language, and use it in different contexts. If you’re patient with yourself, you will progress, and one day, you will be able to speak French.
I founded Mezzo Language School in 2021 to help people achieve their French goals in a supportive environment. We have teachers and tutors that would like to help you achieve your goals. As language coaches, we try to give you confidence in yourself, even if you have a limited vocabulary. Often, this is the greatest problem: lack of self-confidence. We want to let you know that you can communicate your ideas in French even if you make mistakes and even if you don’t have the best pronunciation. It doesn’t matter if your grammar isn’t perfect because if you like French and you spend enough time with it, one day you will be able to speak it without problems. Our goal is that this day arrives quickly and that you don’t need us anymore.
