A former student of the University of Paris IV Sorbonne, I initially pursued studies in history, then in literature. It was during my literature studies that I discovered a certificate in French grammar, which steered me towards teaching French. I have now been with the CCFS for 30 years.\n\n<strong>Tell us about a typical day:<\/strong>\nMy day starts very early, at seven in the morning, at the Vogu\u00eb hotel. I begin my classes which take place from 8 to 10 am, 10 am to noon, or 11 am to 1 pm. Thus, two distinct classes follow each other in the morning. In addition to these two-hour practical courses, I also conduct one-and-a-half-hour lectures twice a week on the Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles.\n\n<strong>What advice would you give to students who wish to learn French?<\/strong>\nMy advice to students is to work regularly. As Andr\u00e9 Gide said, &#8220;genius is patience.&#8221; This is true for music, sports, and of course languages. Daily practice is essential for rapid progress.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gsN7MLSpSQM?si=jnM9Le0XURr66kDj\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview with Louis-Jean Fesquet, Professor at Cours de civilisation fran\u00e7aise de la Sorbonne What is your professional background?
