She is very experienced in teaching French and Aurelie makes understanding the complicated grammar easy.   She is also an expert at the IB curriculum, which was invaluable in helping me prepare for my speaking and writing exams.   Aurelie clearly puts a lot of effort into preparing the lesson and is completely dedicated to making sure you do well. She is all round an amazing tutor who brings energy and positivity to every lesson to make learning French enjoyable and not just a chore.   Thanks to her incredible help I was able to get the top mark of 7 in IB French. I am very grateful to her and recommend her tutoring wholeheartedly."   Leo H. of Sydney, Australia IB Student "Aurelie is an excellent teacher - the complete package - an enthusiastic and inspiring teacher with a vast knowledge of french culture and current affairs. She has an extensive range of tuition styles and techniques to constantly engage students, extend your ability to speak, read and write as needed in French.   Aurelie is nothing short of a dynamo and has proved herself to be very capable teaching people of all ages and ability. She began teaching my daughters when they were 8 and 10 before we went to live in France for six months. She tutored them as HSC students and then as university students (though not studying uni French) assisting them to pass the B2 and C1 exams which enabled them to study at university level in french in France. She has worked out how to make it fun for young people and to motivate them to do their very best. My youngest often said “I have to study - Aurelie puts so much into our lessons I cant let her down”.   As an adult learner I find her in person and online teaching format and tools inspiring and particularly conducive to learning. She knows how to make a class interesting, keeping you constantly engaged particularly through material relating to your personal interests. She also provides a vast amount of material for after class study.   Our family has benefited enormously from Aurelie’s tuition and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I cant imagine you could find a better teacher!"   Jenni M. of Sydney, Australia Retired Chairperson of the Board, Former CEO #### Learning Resources: Posts, Journals, Podcasts | French Rêve Learning Resources: Posts, Journals, Podcasts | French RêveFrench Learning Resources - Blog, Le Petit Journal, French Reve Podcast Series As an extension to your learning experience, ‘French Rêve’ is making available complimentary resources for learners wanting to practice French:Blog : Short article posts about various topics such as French culture and language, tourism and travel in France and French-speaking countries…Petit Journal : A monthly newsletter / newspaper with articles focused on French language and culturePodcast : A monthly podcast to compliment Le Petit Journal French RêveBon voyage on your French language and culture learning journey with these complimentary resources! Simply click on the images / headings below to access: Learning Blog Petit Journal Podcast Series #### Podcast: Past Episodes Listing | French Rêve Podcast: Past Episodes Listing | French ReveFrench Rêve - Listing of Podcast Episodes Podcast Series - French Rêve French Rêve Podcast Series – Episode 5 – Champagne French Rêve Podcast Series - Episode 4 - Carnaval de Nice French Rêve Podcast Series - Episode 3 - Les voeux des Francais French Rêve Podcast Series - Episode 2 - Parlons vin French Rêve Podcast Series - Episode 1 - Ratatouille Provencale <- NEW!

She goes above and beyond to tailor her classes to suit your needs, interests and abilities. She has many excellent pedagogical tricks in her toolbox to help with confidence, clarity and progress. She is a pleasure to learn with, and I always look forward to our class - even if I might not have finished all my homework / practice! Very supportive and encouraging when the self-doubt creeps in. Highly recommend Aurelie to help you with your French language journey! Aurélie is a phenomenal teacher. It has been wonderful taking one on one classes with her over the past year in preparation for the C1 DALF exam. It was reassuring and invaluable to learn from an accredited examiner-corrector, who could explain the C1 methodology and identify ways to elevate and refine my skills. I have improved immeasurably thanks to her guidance. Indeed, each class was engaging, fun and highly enriching. I am so grateful to Aurélie for all her assistance and couldn't recommend French Rêve more to anyone looking to improve their French or prepare for an exam. Aurelie tutored me in IB French SL. She is very experienced in teaching French and Aurelie makes understanding the complicated grammar easy. She is also an expert at the IB curriculum, which was invaluable in helping me prepare for my speaking and writing exams. Aurelie clearly puts a lot of effort into preparing the lesson and is completely dedicated to making sure you do well. She is all round an amazing tutor who brings energy and positivity to every lesson to make learning French enjoyable and not just a chore. Thanks to her incredible help I was able to get the top mark of 7 in IB French. I am very grateful to her and recommend her tutoring wholeheartedly. Aurelie was recommended to us and we are very grateful for the support she has provided for our daughter while studying French during her IB Diploma. Our daughter found that Aurelie was very organised, detailed and personalised to specific needs to what needed to be addressed. Nothing was too much trouble and Aurelie definitely has her students in her best interest. We wish Aurelie the very best of luck in the future. Don't hesitate to work with her you won’t regret it. I had a wonderful experience taking French lessons with Aurelie for about a year online in a group. She is a warm and engaging teacher who is always well prepared with engaging content. Our classes were over Zoom and it worked really well because she uses tools to facilitate the online class. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to do French lessons, cultural classes or conversation classes. She is a gem. I started my French learning journey with Aurelie over a year ago. Very impressed with her in-depth knowledge not only in the French language but also its culture and the teaching technique. Classes with her have been engaging and super fun, hence, it's always been the highlight of my week. Aurelie est une manifique professeure. I would absolutely recommend French Réve to anyone who wants to learn French language. Aurélie is a naturally talented teacher with a great sense of humour that will brighten up your day and make every lesson exciting and fun. She is very creative and adaptable, her classes are super engaging with great energy and the learning experience is effortless, relevant, interesting and fun! Aurélie is a true "tour de force" week after week and I can't remember having a better teacher in my 44 years! Aurélie is an amazing teacher and a great person. She is passionate, engaging and kind. A pleasure to learn from, and interesting to speak with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn French. Aurelie is an absolutely incredible teacher. Our classes during year 11 and 12 helped me immensely with my preparations for the HSC French Continuers Course and the HSC French Extension Course. She is extremely dedicated to her teaching and goes above and beyond every lesson. Her passion for French language and culture made every one of our classes so fulfilling and enjoyable. Aurelie has been teaching me French for 13 years now, and is easily the best teacher I’ve ever had. Not only is she incredibly enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable about French language and culture, but she is deeply invested in my success in French. Aurelie tutored me for HSC French Continuers and ultimately helped me achieve a mark of 96. I enjoyed her classes so much that I continued them at university to prepare for the DELF B2. Aurelie has a wonderful ability to make the French language accessible and breaks down complex French grammar into memorable, bite-sized pieces of information. She is patient and encouraging. She prepares rigorously for each class, which are well structured and skillfully tailored to my interests. Aurelie knows both the HSC and DELF exams inside-out, and replicated the assessment format throughout our classes (i.e. structured the class by speaking, listening and writing sections). She gave me constructive feedback and targeted classes to the areas I struggled with. Aurelie doesn’t just want me to succeed in French, she wants to ensure I enjoy class and share her passion for French language and culture. Her classes are always fun, with laughter and good conversation, but she prepared me thoroughly for the exams. I feel very lucky to know Aurelie and I cannot recommend her more highly! Tara M. of Canberra, Australia Aurelie is an excellent teacher - the complete package - an enthusiastic and inspiring teacher with a vast knowledge of french culture and current affairs. She has an extensive range of tuition styles and techniques to constantly engage students, extend your ability to speak, read and write as needed in French. Aurelie is nothing short of a dynamo and has proved herself to be very capable teaching people of all ages and ability. She began teaching my daughters when they were 8 and 10 before we went to live in France for six months. She tutored them as HSC students and then as university students (though not studying uni French) assisting them to pass the B2 and C1 exams which enabled them to study at university level in french in France. She has worked out how to make it fun for young people and to motivate them to do their very best. My youngest often said “I have to study - Aurelie puts so much into our lessons I cant let her down”. As an adult learner I find her in person and online teaching format and tools inspiring and particularly conducive to learning. She knows how to make a class interesting, keeping you constantly engaged particularly through material relating to your personal interests. She also provides a vast amount of material for after class study. Our family has benefited enormously from Aurelie’s tuition and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I cant imagine you could find a better teacher! Jenni M. of Sydney, Australia Aurelie is a magnificent teacher - incredibly enthusiastic, fun, and thorough. I cannot recommend her more highly. You will adore French with Aurelie! Claire P. of Sydney, Australia Aurelie is a gem… A very unique teacher. Don’t spread the word. My husband and I are still students after 3 years of learning face-to-face and then, switching online. We don’t want to share her! My experience: My husband and I heard about Aurelie, word-to-mouth, by relatives. Having learned a bit of Italian together before, we wanted to learn French as a hobby, to travel and because French gastronomy! Aurelie didn’t disappoint. On the contrary, she went beyond our expectations ! It has been a wonderful cultural journey ! We particularly love the focus on speaking skills and culture, and how she can make French grammar easy to understand and fun to practice through conversation. Who would have thought that French grammar could be easy and fun ? During Covid lockdowns, Aurelie was our breath of fresh air with her sense of humour and her contagious laughter. Shhh… Don’t tell anyone… Sue N. of Melbourne, Australia Before I met Aurelie, I had an expatriation project: becoming fluent to move to France with my French partner by 2020. Aurelie made this possible! We have now been happily living in Paris since December 2019. I continued to take online classes with Aurelie during Covid, just for fun and to have the opportunity to speak about current affairs with a real and knowledgeable French teacher! She couldn’t have chosen a better name for her school: "French Reve" - She made mine come true! My experience: As a beginner, back in 2015, I enrolled in different courses at various schools around Sydney (Australia). I was struggling and felt I was wasting my time and money. I was constantly thinking in English and translating into "approximate" French. My brain kept freezing every time I had to speak. I couldn’t find my words and felt increasingly dumb not being able to retain French and to use it properly… A work colleague told me she knew an amazing French teacher who helped her successfully pass the DELF B1, and also tutored her son through to the end of his final high school year (he aced his French continuers and French Extension exams !) I decided to give it a try and, 5 years later, I live in Paris and I feel at ease in society.

Place au podcast ! Vous êtes prêts ? C’est parti ! A consommer avec… Plaisir ! Le saviez-vous ? La date des vendanges varie selon les vignobles et la région de culture. En France, les vendanges ont lieu entre Août et Octobre : - Août : Provence, Corse et Languedoc-Roussillon, - Début Septembre : Beaujolais et Vallée du Rhône, - Mi-Septembre : Bourgogne, Bordeaux, Jura, Val de Loire, Savoie, Vallée du Rhône et sud-ouest, - Fin Septembre : Champagne et Alsace, - Début Octobre : Charentes et Cognac.

Les voeux des Français : mode d’emploi" *** Bonjour et bienvenue pour ce nouveau podcast "Traditions avec French Rêve !" pour pratiquer le français à travers la culture, les coutumes et les traditions. Je m’appelle Aurélie et aujourd’hui, je vous propose un podcast spécial "Bonne année ! Les voeux des Français : mode d’emploi" à l’occasion du nouvel an. Vous pouvez retrouver la transcription de ce podcast sur le site https://frenchreve.com/, dans la partie Ressources, et dans l’édition numéro 3 du "Petit Journal" des étudiants de French Rêve. Place au podcast et à la tradition. C’est parti ! Le saviez-vous? Les Français sont très attachés aux voeux de la nouvelle année au point de souhaiter "bonne année" tout au long du mois de Janvier. Un peu d’histoire… Le calendrier français est basé sur le calendrier grégorien. Ce calendrier commence le 1er janvier (date de célébration du Nouvel an) et dure 365 ou 366 jours, répartis sur 12 mois de 30 ou 31 jours (à l’exception du mois de février qui compte 28 jours ou 29 jours pour les années bissextiles). Pourquoi ‘grégorien’ ? C’est en référence au pape Grégoire XIII qui l’a imposé en 1582 pour remplacer le calendrier julien. Le calendrier julien avait été créé et appliqué en l’an 46 avant JC par Jules César pour remplacer le calendrier romain et mieux s’aligner avec le soleil et l’année tropique. Pourquoi souhaiter les voeux ? Historiquement et traditionnellement, le début de l’année est lié à beaucoup de superstitions, de rites de purification et de prières en France et dans la culture occidentale, en général. Quand les Français souhaitent ‘leurs bons voeux’ pour la nouvelle année, sans toujours le savoir, ils perpétuent une tradition d’échange de prières et de porte-bonheur, par les mots. Comment souhaiter les voeux en France ? Traditionnellement, on envoie une carte de voeux par la poste. Aujourd’hui, on peut envoyer ses voeux par texto, par email ou par les réseaux sociaux. On peut aussi présenter ses voeux par téléphone ou en personne, à sa famille, à ses amis, à ses collègues ou à ses voisins : Bonne année ! Bonne et heureuse année ! Je vous souhaite une bonne année ! Meilleurs voeux à vous et à votre famille ! La santé d’abord, l’amour et la réussite aussi ! Tous mes voeux pour la nouvelle année ! Que cette année vous réserve de belles surprises ! C’est l’occasion de vous souhaiter une bonne et heureuse année !Au plaisir de vous retrouver cette année encore pour de nouvelles aventures linguistiques et culturelles avec French Rêve !Merci de votre écoute !

Je m’appelle Aurélie et aujourd’hui, je vous propose un podcast spécial "Carnaval de Nice" à l’occasion de son 150ème anniversaire. Vous pouvez retrouver la transcription de ce podcast sur le site https://frenchreve.com, dans la partie Ressources, et dans l’édition numéro 4 du "Petit Journal" des étudiants de French Rêve. Place au podcast et à la tradition. C’est parti ! *** Le saviez-vous ? L’un des plus grands Carnavals au monde a fêté ses 150 ans cette année. Non, il ne s’agissait pas du Carnaval de Rio au Brésil, ni du Carnaval de Venise en Italie ou du Carnaval de la Nouvelle-Orléans aux Etats-Unis ou encore, du Carnaval de Binche en Belgique. Il s’agissait du Carnaval de Nice, en France ! Du 10 au 26 février, la grande place Massena de Nice s’est mise aux couleurs de la fête pour célébrer ce Carnaval qui date officiellement de 1873. En réalité, dans les archives historiques, le Carnaval de Nice est beaucoup plus ancien. En effet, il est mentionné pour la première fois en 1294 quand le Comte de Provence, Charles d’Anjou, avait écrit qu’il avait visité la Cité de Nice pour "les jours joyeux de Carnaval". Le Carnaval de Nice aurait donc plus de 700 ans ! A l’origine, le Carnaval de Nice fait partie de l’héritage des fêtes païennes liées au cycle des saisons. Aujourd’hui, c’est une grande fête pour la ville de Nice qui invite à cette occasion, les Carnavals des 4 coins du monde. Le Carnaval de Nice s’accompagne également de la Bataille des Fleurs, avec une touche florale, élégante et poétique pour célébrer le pouvoir des fleurs et l’industrie locale de l’horticulture. Les caractéristiques du Carnaval de Nice sont les défilés de chars allégoriques, satiriques et burlesques, accompagnés de "grosses têtes", de danseurs, de musiciens et d’artistes de rue, aux costumes féériques, excentriques et colorés, le tout, sous le règne éphémère du Roi et de la Reine du Carnaval. Cette année, le thème était "Le Roi des Trésors du Monde" et "La Reine des Mille et une aventures", avec des chars représentant la mythologie, les arts, les merveilles et les savoir-faire du monde. Par exemple, pour la mythologie, on a pu retrouver Medusa et ses serpents capillaires de la mythologie grecque, Sarasvati (la déesse hindoue de la connaissance et la maitresse des arts), ou encore, la Pachamama (Déesse Inca de la Terre et de la Fertilité). Pour les arts et les savoir-faire du monde, les spectateurs ont pu s’émerveiller devant l’art des marionnettes, de la danse, des parfums, de la calligraphie, du tissage et de la poterie. Comme chaque année après le Carnaval, le Roi a été brûlé et s’est transformé en feux d’artifice sur la mer, dans la baie des Anges, pour le plus grand plaisir des petits et des grands. Le Roi est mort. Vive le Roi ! Vive le Carnaval ! Et longue vie au Carnaval de Nice ! *** Merci de votre écoute !

Originaire de la région éponyme, le champagne est un vin effervescent mondialement célèbre, souvent réservé aux festivités. La région Champagne, située au nord-est de la France, est le berceau de cette boisson pétillante. Les conditions climatiques et le sol crayeux de la région donnent au vin une qualité hors du commun. Les cépages emblématiques, tels que le Chardonnay, le Pinot Noir et le Meunier, sont soigneusement cultivés pour créer des assemblages uniques aux saveurs exceptionnelles. La renommée du champagne ne se limite pas à son goût exquis. Elle résulte aussi de son association avec des événements spéciaux et de grandes stars internationales. En France, ouvrir une bouteille de champagne est souvent synonyme de célébration. Que ce soit pour fêter un mariage, un anniversaire ou le Nouvel An, le champagne est la boisson incontournable pour marquer ces moments mémorables. La dégustation du champagne est tout un art. Les fines bulles qui dansent dans la coupe, libèrent des arômes délicats. Les connaisseurs apprécient la complexité des saveurs, allant des notes florales aux nuances fruitées. Certains champagnes sont millésimés, ce qui signifie qu'ils proviennent d'une seule année exceptionnelle, ce qui ajoute une dimension supplémentaire à l'expérience gustative. Outre son rôle festif, le champagne est également un ambassadeur de l'art de vivre à la française. Les maisons de champagne renommées, telles que Ruinart, Dom Pérignon, Moët & Chandon et Veuve Clicquot, exportent leur savoir-faire à travers le monde. Les visiteurs peuvent explorer les caves centenaires, découvrir le processus d'élaboration du champagne et déguster ces nectars dans un cadre authentique. En somme, le champagne est bien plus qu’une simple boisson pétillante en France. Il symbolise l'élégance, la tradition et l'art de célébrer. Qu'il soit dégusté lors de grandes occasions ou partagé autour d'une table entre amis, le champagne est profondément ancré dans la culture française, rappelant que chaque moment spécial mérite d'être célébré avec éclat Merci de votre écoute !
