Never Give Up On Your Dream

Bonjour a tous !
Today I like to share a story about my dream to learn French .I have a dream to learn French ever since college time when my classmate an Indonesian know how to speak French and from that time onwards I fell in love with the beautiful French Language.

For the past 17 years I didn't take any action to really learn up my language in the past because in Malaysia either you must go to a language center and you can go to Alliance Francaise to learn it .To be honest 10-15 years back even though Internet already existed but to learn language in Malaysia definitely have to attend physical class and the challenges I face back then is to find a good language center or a good language teacher is hard. Not really such thing as online class or teaching like now as a norm.

If you go Alliance Francaise they only have center in Kuala Lumpur or Penang and the class fee is overly expensive for me back then when I was just a fresh graduate earning less than RM2000 per month .I can't even afford to pay for a semester in AFKL back then .

Fast forward to current, despite being older and earning more money and enrolling myself to learn French with AFKL . I find that the AFKL focus on more traditional method and my first semester experience I'm completely lost and I always use the sentence ,"Je suis perdu." which mean in French I'm lost all the time to my teacher .

Finally I decide to get a private tutor to help me in practicing my French Pronunciation because in AFKL is a group class and sometimes teacher can focus too much when you have a group of 8 students therefore I decide to find private tutor .
I want to say thank god that I found Amazing Talker Platform because if it wasn't for this platform I would have met my current private French Tutor Julien .

Honestly I did few trial class but I ended up sticking with Julien teacher because I really like to learn with him as I saw improvement on my French understanding and basic pronunciation even within 2-3 class with him . He has a lot of experience in teaching French overseas and the material he uses is very good material and easy to understand .He also provide a a lot of notes like verbs or phrase for me to practice during my free time .

What I like about learning with Julien in Amazing Talker is everything is online (due to pandemics situation ) and I can choose the time schedule whenever I want to learn French (due to my busy working schedule ).Despite the time difference with my private tutor Julien ,I still managed to consistency attend his class and also he is a very patient and good teacher who makes me want it continue learning French with him as I saw much improvement in my French even in such as short time .

As for me I don't mind paying more for his service but Julien teacher fees is quite reasonable and he easy to discuss .He always encourage his student to always make time to practice French even after class time and always emphasize the importance of self practicing at home .He always encourage me ( I won't say force :) ) because he know if I spent more time practicing French using his notes ,I will massively improve my French very fast and true enough I took his advice and force myself to do so even though I'm super lazy.

Therefore ,I'm thankful I come across this platform when I'm searching for a private tutor in French .I also recommended my tutor to my other 2 friends and they also follow me to learn from him as well .

Enough said .I can write a thousand words to beautify this story but the result would show itself .I hope one day I can write a full story like this in French hopefully. Nevertheless never give up on your dream even though you think you are too old to learn .I'm nearly 40 and it never too late to learn any language that you been dreaming to learn .

My best advice to student is ,get the right teacher ,he or she would inspire you to continue moving forwards .Last but not least never give up .Merci. A bientot !
