My individual and group French lessons
Become comfortable in French and enjoy chatting with your new acquaintances. Without fear of losing your words or not understanding what’s being said to you.
Improve your French to finally understand what’s being said around you.
The phrase “Bonjour, comment ça va ?” will no longer trigger a panic attack when you have to respond to the person asking you that question.
Today, this is probably what’s holding you back:
You have difficulty understanding what is being said to you and making yourself understood in return; you lack the basics of the French language.
You don’t have enough vocabulary, and you feel that it isolates you at work and in your social life.
You have difficulty understanding what is being said to you and making yourself understood in return; you lack the basics of the French language.
You lack confidence in your abilities and you’re struggling to make progress.
You feel like you’re stagnating in your language learning and don’t know how to break through this situation.
You’d like to come live in France for work or for pleasure, but the language seems complicated to learn, and you’re afraid you won’t succeed in integrating professionally.
You already live in the country, but you struggle to build your life here because you’re having trouble finding your place.
All of this frustrates you.
Understanding and speaking the language is just one step to truly feeling comfortable in a new country. Learning the traditions and adopting professional codes will help you fully integrate into France and thrive in your new life.
My individual and group French lessons are designed to provide you with practical and engaging tools, as well as cultural insights, to help you thrive professionally in France.
If you want to make friends and work in France, I have two options for you:
My one-to-one lessons are designed to help you make rapid progress on specific problems.
Learning with a private French teacher is your guarantee of staying motivated for those moments when you feel like giving up.
I’m here to help you make progress with visible results and make you want to keep going, even when you want to stop.
I know, it would be so much easier if French men and women spoke better English.
One-to-one lessons will help you learn faster:
I tailor my lessons to suit your level and needs.
I'm available just for you, to listen to your speaking practice, answer your questions and correct your homework. Individualized follow-up is at the heart of our relationship.
I go at your own pace and lessons are organized according to your availability.
Don’t worry, I won’t become the boring teacher you hated so much in high school.
One-to-one lessons are entirely tailored to your level of French and the areas you’d like to improve.
We work together:
Your speech
so that you can hold a fluent conversation on your own.
Your writing
with French grammar, syntax, spelling and vocabulary
The culture
of the country so that you can fully integrate into French society and thrive in your job.
These individual French lessons can be 100% online or take place at your home in Lorient and Quéven (56) and the surrounding area: Guidel, Larmor Plage, Ploemeur, Auray, Quimperlé, Lanester, Caudan.

My group courses are made up of 4 or 5 people who share the same desire as you: to learn the French language and live a new life.

The discussion is natural and spontaneous, and the atmosphere is non-judgmental.

You interact with other people in situations similar to everyday life.
You progress at your own pace.
You will be supported throughout this adventure by your teacher (Marie or Daria) and by the other students.
You’re never on your own.
Whether it’s me (Daria) leading the group or Marie, the second French teacher for foreigners, we never leave you out.
Groups are kept small so that we can give our full attention to each individual.

Here is what my students say about our lessons.
EXCELLENT Basée sur 19 avis Coconuts Sail Team2024-10-03 Daria is an exceptional French language teacher, she is very invested in her students learning, is extremely organised, knowledgable, experienced, well mannered, professional yet friendly... she has so many extraordinary qualities. I highly recommend her! Helen Kennedy2024-09-15 I can't recommend Daria highly enough. I'm doing individual lessons both online and in person. I had found after many group courses and having passed B2, I knew lots of stuff but needed it to be knitted together to improve my spoken French in daily life. Daria doesn't slavishly follow the text book but focuses on what I need to work on. Daria is very organised and focused. I really like that she encourages and pushes me appropriately. Her classes are definitely worth the investment. Alan Hill2024-07-16 I started with La French Zone on the 28th of May with Marie, initially purchasing the 1-1 24-hour package. I was a bit skeptical at first because I thought learning French over a video call might be challenging for me. However, I was pleasantly surprised—La French Zone works very well over Zoom. I've greatly benefited from La French Zone. I feel I've been accommodated perfectly to my current level, and I really enjoy my classes. Initially, I was a bit shy and nervous to learn and try speaking French, but that quickly changed. I've now decided to engage further and book another course because I feel I've found the right place to really learn French, thanks to La French Zone. Merci beaucoup, Daria and Marie! Rafael Simão de Siqueira2024-07-16 I had larne with La French Zone for my it's very important to say because I can see my progression day bye day, the theater is very calm and have a good explanation for my question about the language and I am happy for making class with La French Zone 😊........ Lili Calisto2024-01-18 Daria est une excellente professeur! À l'écoute de mes besoins et mes difficultés, elle a su me tenir motivée et a adapté très bien ses méthodes et le contenu des ses cours. Grâce à elle j'ai réussi mon delf b2 tranquillement. A Daria é uma professora fantastica ! Capaz de personalizar o ensino do frances a cada aluno. O seu profissionalismo e a sua motivacao sao excepcionais. Resultados desde das primeiras aulas. Habanera 802023-12-05 Daria is a fantastic teacher with a lot of knowledge on teaching french as a second language. I've had formal french classes in the past 3 years with other well known french schools but Daria's 1:1 classes really made the big difference for me. Firstly, She is very organized and lays out well thought out plans and structure for our classes. I was really impressed by the detail and extent of my personalised program. I also particularly love the flexibility of classes (we spent classes just on oral and building my confidence in speaking for example) and other classes on topics relevant to me. Overall, I'm very happy with my classes! Nina G2023-12-03 Daria is incredible, I dragged my feet on improving my French for ages, but thank god I found her! She's an absolutely brilliant teacher who cares passionately about your progress and constantly adapts her lessons to target your weak points while also ensuring that every lesson is fun and engaging. Beyond the pedagogical, her presence is magical - she's always kind, thoughtful, encouraging, a true burst of sunshine (whereas I tend to be more of a storm cloud, prone to meltdowns and frustration when it comes to French grammar haha - but she kept me sane, motivated, and most of all, my French improved DRAMATICALLY. In roughly 4 months I went from a shaky A1/A2 to smashing the TCF with a B2 on the spoken interview and B1 on the oral comprehension and essays. The fact I swung those scores is nothing short of a miracle, and Daria was the miracle worker behind it. I cannot recommend her more highly, thank you thank you thank you Daria xoxoxoxo alexis denorme2023-12-01 Ce fut un plaisir de collaborer avec Daria sur la création de son site internet, très sympathique et professionnelle. Je recommande Daria à 100% Fiona Mason2023-11-29 I’ve been living between France and the UK since 2021, slowly renovating an old village house in the Ariege Pyrenees. I now know a lot of french terms for bricolage and can order plasterboard and plumbing supplies with relative ease but I have struggled with making basic conversation about the price of bread. A year of French at high school in the 1970s was just not enough of a foundation. Integration is all about commnication and I wanted more. A friend recommended Brittany based La French Zone and its founder Daria Marlardé and after one semester I feel I’ve made huge progress. I am now able to have conversations with my neighbours and I’m making new friends. Lessons, which are all on zoom, are a lively mix of conversation, grammar and vocabulary. Daria’s a brilliant teacher and her style is just the right combination of formal and informal. She is encouraging, clear and no question is too silly. Lessons are well paced, creating a solid foundation on which to build each subsequent module. The regular newsletters from La French Zone offer fascinating insights into french language and culture providing a rich context for your studies. If you want to improve your french and get to a position where you can natter with your neighbours and converse with confidence, then I highly recommend checking out La French Zone. I’m still a beginner, but have ambitions to reach DELF B2 level French. I now feel like I’m well on my way to achieving that goal. Jessica Shady2023-11-28 Daria was a fantastic teacher and really helped me develop confidence in my speaking skills. She was always prepared with custom lessons and did a great job of identifying when and how to address the different topics to maximize my growth as a student. So happy with my investment and would absolutely recommend Daria to anyone wanting to level up on their French skills!
