Hi! My name is Phillip Jacklin. I am one of the teachers and the director at The Language Center. I was born and raised in California. I have a degree from USC, the University of Southern California. I am both a French and an American citizen. I have lived and taught languages in the Geneva area for 15 years. Helping people like you improve their English and French is my passion and profession.

Are you a native English speaker who would like to learn French? Well then we have excellent classes available for you.

In our French classes we use the best grammar, vocabulary and communication books on the market, to help you learn as quickly as possible. If you have already studied French then we will first begin with an evaluation exam. We will also analyze your objectives. Then according to those exam results we will set up a program for you to reach your goals.

In your French classes, you will be asked to speak French only. In addition to the great book work you will do, we will ask you to do a lot of conversational work. Such conversation work is often based on contemporary French media such as newspapers, internet sites, television and radio. Current events be them political or sports are often covered in detail. You will cover important cultural subjects such as the “Tutoyer vs. Vouvoyer” question.

In addition to learning the French language and about French culture, we will also cover Swiss French and Switzerland. Here in Ferney-Voltaire, we are only 500 meters from the Swiss border, and daily visits to Geneva are common. Therefore one must also understand the small but important differences in Swiss French and understand the intricacies of the local multi-national experience.
