About Florine Duval
Bonjour !
I live in France and French is my native language.
I became fluent in English and Dutch through years in England and the Netherlands (where I worked in a lab and did my PhD).
So, I’ve experienced different ways of learning languages:
→ English: Classes since primary school, a lot of theory, real immersion since 2007. I landed in England and had NO other choice but to speak English.
→ Dutch: “Dutch in 3 Months” book, while jumping into practice… I worked in a Dutch team from day one (that was in 2009). Little to no theory, but my Dutch quickly caught up with my English.
I’ve been speaking all three languages every day since then.

→ From my own experience (see above), I feel that the most effective way to learn to speak a language is, well… speaking it.
It’s what we all do as toddlers, and we become perfectly fluent that way. To me, it feels natural to do the same as adults.
And now, it also feels natural to help English and Dutch speakers improve their French speaking skills, through conversations in French.
The big difference from toddlers: we have conversations as grown-ups. Yeah, we can tell what we had for dinner last night… but we don’t stop there.
→ We talk about what YOU find interesting; we go as deep or as broad as you like.
We can talk about what animates us, share what we find inspiring, express our opinions, ventilate our emotions. We can go deep into science, art, technology, philosophy, nature, psychology, consciousness, our society, the world we live in...
We have this conversation in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. The focus is on the actual conversation, regardless of your French “level” at that moment. If you want to know how to say something in French, you just ask in English or Dutch.
Your brain picks up a language through use, through real conversations about things that actually interest you. Not through rules. And when the conversation genuinely goes somewhere — something that moves you or makes you think — you learn the language twice as well.

Perfect! informeel, ontspannen en inhoudelijk
- Laurens sprong meteen in het diepe — en dat vond ik geweldig! Vanaf de eerste minuut zijn we gewoon in het Frans begonnen, zonder omwegen. Hij legde me meteen uit wat zijn doelen zijn met de taal, en al snel belandden we in een boeiend gesprek over zijn werk in de muziekwereld. Echt een aangename eerste kennismaking! Het is altijd fijn om les te geven aan iemand die zo gemotiveerd is en niet bang is om te spreken. Ik kijk écht uit naar onze volgende sessie — er is nog zoveel om over te praten, en tegelijk kan ik hem helpen zijn Frans steeds verder te verfijnen. Wordt vervolgd!Florine Duval's response :

I had the pleasure of connecting with Florine on LinkedIn. Not only is she a very friendly person, she is also a highly intelligent and competent woman. Florine is enjoyable to talk to and a great teacher!
I've had the pleasure of getting to know Florine over many years of online interactions, including over video call, and I can tell you this:
- Florine is one of those rare people who makes you think more deeply about whatever you're discussing
- She has a genuine heart for helping others, and is a talented communicator
Whether the topic is science, philosophy, nature, or something completely unexpected, she brings genuine curiosity and a thoughtful perspective that draws out the best in a conversation – this makes me believe that her initiative to teach French through conversation is the ideal medium and one through which she will no doubt add tremendous value to her clients!
If you're an English speaker looking to develop your French beyond textbook phrases and small talk, Florine is exactly the kind of person you want to be talking to. She creates the conditions for real conversation - the kind where you're so engaged with the subject that the language acquisition happens almost as a by-product. That's how adults actually learn to speak a language with confidence!
I'd recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants their French to go deeper than ordering a coffee in Paris.Florine and I spoke over a video call. I found her to be extremely personable and easy to get along with, and with a very good grasp of the English language. She is patient and warm and in my opinion would be a fantastic choice to learn French conversation with.
Ik heb Florine mogen assisteren in het lab voor haar PhD onderzoek. Ze was mijn grote inspiratiebron om na mijn BSc en MSc studie ook een PhD te gaan doen. Ze kan heel goed tussen talen switchen (zoals Frans, Engels en Nederlands) en kan op een goede, rustige manier uitleg geven. Verder had ik een goede persoonlijke klik met haar.
I had the pleasure of having an incredible conversation with Florine. She's smart, patient, and well spoken. I have absolute confidence in her teaching and speaking ability. I would recommend her to anyone interested in improving their speaking skills.
