What is the difference between a native speaker and a certified French teacher? Why do most students request a native speaker instead of a certified teacher?

Currently in learning a foreign language, the term native has been in fashion, but what does this mean? The fact of being native means that the person was born in the country where the language studied is the mother tongue, but does this make us teachers of that language? Let's take the example of Colombia, we all speak Spanish, which does not make us teachers of this language.

Regardless of nationality, foreign language teachers must be trained to teach, they must have pedagogical knowledge and training that allows them to impart knowledge effectively, adapting to different learning rhythms and styles, difficulties and multiple intelligences.

A teacher has a great responsibility because he is training human beings and sharing his knowledge. This responsibility can mark someone's learning process, both positively and negatively. In OnParle We have teachers of high academic but also human quality, we are committed to the learning process of our students because we go hand in hand with them, fulfilling their objectives and goals.

It is time then to think about the results we want, if we have qualified teachers we will be able to achieve our goals more easily than if we only learn to speak the language with gaps, doubts and pedagogical deficiencies.

So if you are in the process of learning French to emigrate to Canada, for your own motivation or to pursue higher studies in France or any French-speaking country, we invite you to reflect on your needs, your objectives and how you will reach them sooner.
