Learn French
At your pace
Tailored to your reality
With self-study material based on my method ‘SVO’
Feel confident with French. Get the keys to understand the structure. Enter the logic and beauty of this not only poetic but also precise language. Start talking right away.
I’ll teach you the key elements to build sentences. Quickly, you’ll understand the structure of the language to be able to make small talk. From there, you’ll improve your understanding, learn different tenses and manage real-life situations.
Method ‘SVO’
It simply means Subject – Verb – Object
It seems pretty obvious, that’s how sentences are built, right ? But, by focusing on simple sentences, you trick your brain into thinking in French as quickly as possible, instead of translating from your mother tongue. You will learn the most important topics in order to build your own sentences correctly, with the exact vocabulary you need.
The videos teach you one topic after the other in a specific order to achieve this goal. There are also documents to summarize all concepts and exercises.

About me
My name is Sebastien Cretegny, I’m Swiss, from Geneva.
I am an expat myself.
As a teacher, my background is rather peculiar. I studied electronics, worked in the machine industry, and became a Customer Service Manager.
I travelled the world for work and had my share of backpacking trips, where I learned English, Spanish and German. After living in Sankt Gallen (Switzerland), Cairo (Egypt), and then moving to Cali (Colombia), I changed career path. I started in 2018 to teach French online, full time, mostly for expats working for Nestlé, Google, Philip Morris, Royal Canin, BNP Paribas among others.
How I work
I could never say : “That’s the way it is, just memorize and repeat it”.
Learning a language is not just learning words, it is entering a new mentality, a new culture. I love to understand why things are the way they are – being passionate about languages, history, geography, economy, culture.
I offer truly unique classes: With some of my students, we study Swiss history, political systems, 3D-printing, marketing, arts, music, all while practicing French grammar and vocabulary. I love going offtrack, making every class an exciting experience.
