Marina Gainoutdinova
French language teacher
I graduated from the Teachers Training Institute of K.D.Ouchinsky in 1987 as a French language and literature teacher. Was it my alma-mater that didn't let me go or my own inner-self didn't want to leave this place for so long? I don't know. Whoever decision it was, I have no regrets that I 'd worked there for 25 years -it was a golden era for me. In 2012 I acquired a qualification of the Russian as a foreign language teacher in the training centre of the M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University. Equipped with knowledge and experience : I felt ready to spread my wings and discover new destinations. It didn't take me long to decide which one to begin with. Poitiers - a twin city of Yaroslavl - had been number one on the wish-list for a long time. My training in the local University lasted only 4 years. I'm saying "only" because I had been carried away by the flow of this small "ville"'s colourful life to the point that I lost the track of time.
On my return to Yaroslavl, I settled down in the place where I'd left my heart long ago - in the Friendship house "Yaroslavl-Poitiers". What a pleasure it was after all these years to meet there my brilliant student - Natalia Belova and admit the fact that a student had surpassed her teacher. Despite her impressive track record she remained a modest woman that doesn't like to reveal her professional accomplishments to public, yet her students' success speaks up loudly for itself - that's the best recommendation for the teacher, isn't it? Natalia and I are looking forward to seeing you at the french lessons! Come and join us in the
Friendship house "Yaroslavl-Poitiers"!


The secret of success is...

in students who like to learn,

appreciate their teachers' techniques,

value their time and our ressources!

We won't unlock you all the secrets except that ...

If you think that you've stumbled into this site by accident, we'll tell you that there're no accidents. You've chosen your yellow brick road and it has brought you here.
You were born English and yet you feel
there's something in the French caracter that sneaks up on you and you can't help yourself: you're falling in love with its sound... Once it's become your ear-worm, you'll follow its music and find yourself a pace away from the Friendship House "Yaroslavl-Poitiers".
As Oscar Wilde said once: "The best way to resist a temptation is to yeild to it".
So what prevents you from loving French?
A spell cast onto the whole castle long-long ago that had put the two kingdoms to sleep for a century? It looks like it was yesterday but its memory is still vivid?
To have a better future no one should forget the past. Yet why can't we cherish the current day and meet it with a smile? Like the frenchman who tells you: "Enchanté!" which means "Nice to meet you!" It's just impossible to say this small word with a frown.
Moreover they say that French phonetics is the best remedy for a double chin. Only time will tell you if it's true as well as it'll give you food for thought: to put some candies behind your cheeks for a better articulation and taste this language of love, love for a happy life !
The Friendship House "Yaroslavl-Poitiers"
is the place to come and feel it for real!

It's true that a positive attitude and a hospitable ambience that a teacher creates and the students keep up at the French lesson are not empty words.We've breathed life into them: an emotional bond with the group and the peace of mind is the key to self-fulfilment here.
Just as Math and Music boost our brain power, the French language expands possibilities of our mind as well as it fosters a feeling of beauty, the beauty that adds colours to our life and speech:
femme fatale,
potpourri,
carte blanche,
tête à tête,
déjà vu,
prêt-à-porter,
chic,
couture
silhouette,
joie de vivre ,
R.S.V.P -
all these words have put their two pennies in the piggy-bank not only of the Russian but also the English language.
They also remind us of the time
when French tutors and preceptors
had been planting love for art and learning in the nest of gentlefolk
in the epoque of Enlightment,
the same way that had been doing centuries ago - a genious of the Russian
literature and language -
Alexander Poushkin.

The choice of our educators -
no less talented French language teachers
in the era of changes and digital technologies
is a learning kit
«Le Français.ru» -
the winner in nomination
«Manual of the XXI centure» in 2010.
It's a rare example of the coherent presentation of learning blocks covering
levels from A1 to C1.
Among the advantages of the learning series one can mention the key principle
according to which
the syllabus is organised:
Moving from simple to complex, we're immersed into the original humour of personal anecdotes
recorded by the native speakers
at an adequate speed.
Out of the authentic materials from the personal collection of our teachers and other novelties from the web
a precious method is born.
It has become fashionable to call it "communicative" because it helps
to overcome a certain barrier.
We don't want to imagine ourselves
on horse races.
We'll just tell you that
we're sharing
our knowledge and experience
to help you be understood
when it comes to the real talk
with a Frenchman...
