My next project : A class about French surnames using both English and French. I will speak slowly in French introducing vocabulary using the fantastic story of surnames and I will help speaking in English.
Very Important : I try to have time for teaching on Edufire but the more I try and the less I can. I have many students on the field and I must update my dictionaries online. I need 48 hours a day. That is my big problem right now.
My eternal mail is dictionaric@aol.com I am not always available when I have many lessons on the field. Sorry AIf you can not reach meBMy New Time Table is hereCMy Village is here朋友! 我法语。我教法语! 我不教英语。但是：我可以讲英语。您是否了解？您是否想要学会法语？Je suis Français et enseigne le Français. I am French and I can teach French in English. Ich bin Franzose und lehre meine Sprache auch auf deutsch. Я Француз и могу преподавать по-русски. Jestem Francuzem i mogę uczyć po polsku.Contact me one day before so that I will be able to react. Check my website where you will find many dictionaries free online and handmade by me.I noticed that people who have no profile or picture are mostly able to become no-shows. I will decline any session for people who have not at least a minimum profile and a photo. It’s not funny to teach ghosts. Boooo !VERY IMPORTANT !

About my family name (surname) : My exact surname is JOUANNÈS (with this french è) but this name originates from the river JOUANNE in western France. In French many place names have this ending -S and are connected to villages or towns based on a concrete substantive or meaning. It shows that a long time ago there was a village called JOUANNES (without this French è) on the river JOUANNE. One of my ancestors was certainly born in this now disappeared village and gave to his descent this name. The meaning of the river name JOUANNE is not mysterious anymore. It is the long evolution (2000 years long) of the Gaulic DIV ONNA “godly river”. I must say I am very proud and happy to have this name :>) ASNIÈRES is another example “donkey place”. SARCELLES “teal place”.
CASTRES “castle place”.
CHELLES “cell place”.
ARMENTIÈRES “cattle place”.
and so on…
Patrick is an excellent teacher.
Another great class.
We continue to be very happy with Patrick's French lessons. Tonight he taught three of our children (14, 12, and 10), and each of them said that class was "great."
Fun and informative again! Thanks, Patrick
As always, it is a pleasure to study with Patrick.
My kids and I love learning French with Patrick, and we look forward to future lessons. --Dan
Actually, my lesson was for French and he was a very enthusiastic teacher able to connect ideas to my experiences.

Patrick is a great and very entertaining teacher! He is able to gauge a student's language learning very well and the conversation flows very smoothly with him. I really enjoyed our lesson - he is fascinating about the origins of words and as a bonus he is also very funny!
Patrick is a great teacher, fun and entertaining. I can highly recommend him to anyone learning French.
Patrick is a fabulous charismatic tutor. I 100% recommend him if you're looking to learn any of the many languages he knows, especially French! Thank you, Patrick!
Patrick was able to really gage my level in French and conduct the session accordingly. He was very enthusiastic. The session was unstructured but flowed really well. He explained grammar points in an easy to understand way. Sometimes he would point out i

We just had an excellent class with Patrick. As everyone has noted below, he is very enthusiastic, and is able to carry us along in many different conversational directions. Looking forward to our next class.
Not only is he of course a native speaker but the lesson was very easy going and went smoothly, and he is also quite entertaining. The more fun you have the easier it is to learn!
He is very helpful, and loves to tell you the roots of the words you may have a problem with. Very knowledgeable

Enthusiastic and helpful, very entertaining and willing to explain everything. Likes to sing :)
Interesting. Entertaining. Educational.
Patrick was very helpful and willing to repeat things if I did not understand them. He made the learning experience very fun and I would absolutely take another session with him.
patrick was an *amazing* teacher! he is enthusiastic, funny, and loves words (and puns!) he adjusted to my level quickly and made me work enough that i was engaged, but not frustrated. i highly recommend patrick -- he was a joy to learn from!
Hurray for Patrick! We've had three classes with him so far, and he is everything you would want in a French teacher - interesting, enthusiastic, and talkative. He keeps the lesson time moving at a nice rate, and explains any difficult words we encounter.
