Ulrich Janischka - Teamleiter Netzplanung bei TransnetBW GmbH
"Jean-Robert hat mir rund 2 Jahre lang französisch beigebracht. Im Vordergrund stand die tägliche Anwendung: Französisch hören, sprechen und schreiben. Aus einem unerschöpflichen Reservoir an Material zog er Aufgaben, Erläuterungen und Visualisierungen hervor, die immer wieder neue Erkenntnisse und nachhaltige Aha-Efekte ermöglichten. Diese hohe didaktische Flexibilität und der langjährige Erfahrungsschatz, beides auch Ergebnis seines Einsatzes außerhalb Europas machen aus ihm einen sehr effektiven Lehrer. Er kümmert sich sehr liebenswert um seine Schüler und kann sich gut in deren Bedürfnisse einfühlen. Seine große Freude an Diskussionen über aktuelle politische, gesellschaftliche, wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Themen führte zu sehr kurzweiligen Stunden, die immer wie im Flug vergingen. Ich kann JR daher uneingeschränkt empfehlen!"  June, 3, 2020

I worked with Jean-Robert to improve my intermediate French as I was getting ready to deploy with the UN to eastern DR Congo to work on the Ebola response. Jean-Robert offered an intensive and tailored package that was perfect for my lifestyle and learning needs. He was flexible, responsive and a pleasure to chat with about real world events.

Claudia Z. Lopez - Director at Profluence
"I have had many language teachers and I can say that Jean-Robert is by far one of my all time favorite teachers. I still remember a stimulating conversation Jean-Robert sparkled in class about how high-speed trains disrupted life. People learn their own native tongue by being immersed in it. With Jean-Robert we really immersed in the French language, we lived the language and the culture, we were invited to think critically about life issues and all this for me is crucial to truly acquire a language. Additionally, learning a language is a process that is highly relational. Jean-Robert is a person who nurtures a relationship; it's truly a joy and an amazing experience to be his student. Thank you, Jean-Robert!"    March 8, 2019

Eckart Wagner - Lawyer at Wagner Legal
"Jean-Robert was my French teacher when I used to live in Brussels. I learnt a lot and the lessons were also a lot of fun. Jean-Robert is able to put himself in the position of his students both with regard to their ability to speak French and their personal and business requirements as well as their general interests. Thus, Jean-Robert would always combine a lesson on grammar and vocabulary with a text that is of interest for the specific student. Students also benefit from Jean-Robert's vast knowledge of French culture, from music to literature, film, politics, philophy and history. Jean-Robert is an expert in teaching online and via skype. He works with all kind of media and constantly sends students links to interesting articles, music, films etc. Jean-Robert is such a great teacher that I continue taking French lessons after I went back to Germany via skype. And not only me, but also my wife and my teenage sons. I can only highly recommend Jean-Robert as a French teacher. Eckart"   January 9, 2019

"Jean Robert is an excellent, five star teacher! He is very professional, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the language. He managed to take me from level A2 to C2 (TCF exam) in as little as 4 months! He does not only teach you the French language and francophone culture, but also works on your critical and analytical skills. He has a memorable sense of humor, an eye for detail and a unique way to convey knowledge. I would vehemently recommend him to anyone looking for a fascinating French teacher of an impeccable calibre, flexible and experienced enough to tailor his classes to suit even the most challenging objectives!

“I can strongly recommend the ”French Minute”, written and edited by Jean-Robert LEBRUN. The approach of, on an easy-going way, learning not only the particularities of the French language but also at the same time get acquainted with very different French subjects, culture, music and not at least French thinking is both enriching and quite amusing. I thought that my knowledge of French and France after years of studies at University was quite good. However after having read “French Minute” I realise how much I missed. Try it yourself and you will see!!” November 28, 2013

“I am a big fan of Jean Robert Lebrun and his method to help you love and practice the French Language. I have always found it hard to read something just for the sake of learning a language : who cares if the cat is under the table or the story of the trip to the beach of some imaginary family? I have been following French Minute Culture for almost a year now and I still wonder what will be the subject of the next email I will receive. I believe it is immensely interesting because it gives you not only the opportunity to listen, read and understand the French Culture but to make it yours and understand how the language works at the same time. Have you ever wondered about the lyrics of "La vie en rose" or that scene from that great French film? Wouldn't it be great to learn from what you are really interested in? La culture et le français, c'est fun!” October 24, 2013

A special word on his flexibility and availability, that he can also adjust to the client's busy time schedule! In addition, you can learn from him about some Belgian realities, that is of great help for an expat living in Belgium. So, I fully recommend Jean-Robert as a French teacher!" July 17, 2019

"As a current student of Mr Jean-Robert Lebrun's online French Minute writing course, I would like to enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who is seeking to improve their written French, in a fun and interactive way.  I have now been studying with Mr Lebrun for a few months and am very pleased with the progress I have made, since the number of mistakes I make in my compositions is diminishing on a steady basis. I think that this unique course's strong point is its flexibility, in that you receive the assignment on a given day of the week but then you can work on it whenever you have the time to do so. Furthermore, the perfect balance between the theory of the grammatical rules and the links to videos, sections on iconography and the like, make it very diverse and interesting. French Minute really allows you to progress whilst gaining some valuable in-depth insight into the French culture, by listening to the songs of its most famous singers and watching some memorable French films."

“Jean-Robert is a professional French teacher. I have worked with him to improve my oral comprehension of French as I am an interpreter. He fully understood my professional goals (adding French to my linguistic combination) and provided a large number of listening comprehension exercises on topical subjects. In 2013 I received Jean-Robert's personally compiled program "French Minute" which provides a short(ish) audio extract complete with vocabulary and grammar points and a lot of cultural references. All extracts have to do with learning more about French culture, history, great persons etc. I fully recommend this program to those who want to know more about France and do it in a fun way.” February 5, 2014

“Jean-Robert taught me French from 2000 to 2004. During that time he took me from an almost total novice to being very comfortable with all aspects of the language. Starting French in my early 40's was a daunting challenge. I can honestly say that it was Jean-Robert who played a key role in my good progress. He's dedicated and always made the lessons very interesting. His creativity and teaching skills meant that each lesson helped increase the appetite for more knowledge. He was incredibly patient with my busy and ever changing work schedule for which I will always be grateful. The skill he brought out in me has added unimaginable value to my life. I can thoroughly recommend him.” February 3, 2012

“Jean-Robert was my teacher of French during several years at the time I was working in Brussels. Honestly, he is my best teacher of all times, and I include here the excellent and dedicated teachers I had the fortune to have at Uppsala University and before that at the School of Photography. Why is he so brilliantly good? A part, but not the most important part, of the answer is; because Jean-Robert manage the French spoken and written language perfectly well and was able to easily and clearly convey his knowledge using also good English when I didn’t fully grasp what he said. The main reasons are about other important aspects. Jean-Robert is a master in finding ways to make EVERY lesson a fun, thrilling and existing journey into not only the French language and culture and behaviour. But also into the news of the day and the French political landscape and what is really happening today in France. And that he did at the same time as I he explained about and trained me in using passé composé! But it doesn’t stop there. He listened carefully – without interviewing me – to what I was deeply interested in at a personal level and started to use also these areas when we met. And imaging the challenge he bravely and successfully took on as I was and am very interested in the more artistic forms of photography as well as bird-watching! So we discussed also most of the famous French masters of documentary photography as well about migration patterns of swallows and cranes in Europe. And the habits of my favourite bird, the Red-throated diver. In French and happily! Jean-Robert is unique!” July 2, 2014

He quickly understands the expectations of his clients and the level at which they need to communicate in French. I liked the texts he used as didactic material because they were always food for thought and for intense discussion. This man will drag you into a debate and meanwhile correct your mistakes almost in a playful way. You don't notice you're learning French but you are. Jean-Robert is also very flexible as a teacher when it comes to schedules. If you want to improve your French but you are afraid to ask anyone, ask Jean-Robert!" November 17, 2014

“I first met Jean Robert when I was a French Language student in Brussels, and his teaching formed the basis of what would become my successful journey towards practicing the French language. I was, at first, hesitant of my capability, yet Jean Robert would constantly surprise me by assuring me with concrete examples that I was capable of doing more than I thought, and of learning faster than I knew. This, in my estimation, is one of the hallmarks of a good teacher. Jean Robert is always willing, enthusiastic, challenging, and responsible with his duties. Today, with French speaking friends, or whenever I am required professionally to use the French language, I am more than confident of my knowledge and capability, and this is due in large part to Mr Lebrun’s dedication, professional attitude, and practical advice.  Federico Rosa Artist, Writer” May 18, 2014

"During my years in Brussels at the European Comission, I took French lessons with Jean-Robert Lebrun, for I had to improve my French very quick.
The lessons given by J-R Lebrun were very effective. Jean-Robert takes into account the wishes and needs of his clients. Thus, I learned a lot within a few months and in a very pleasant way. I regretted very much that the budget of my employer for this purpose was exhausted after three months. I would have preferred to continue improving my French together with Jean-Robert Lebrun."  February 25, 2016

Nick White, Partner & General Manager, Ivy Worldwide Inc.
" I worked with Jean-Robert during my family’s expatriate assignment in Luxembourg, a French-speaking country that makes little use of English outside employees of multinational corporations. Consequently, one must speak French to get really *anything* done – from filling the gas tank to ordering in a restaurant to registering with government entities (of which there are numerous, many compulsory). My French was nearly non-existent at the outset, but by working with Jean-Robert sessions – and spending a good amount of time studying and practicing outside our sessions – I was able to make significant progress. My comfort level increased, as did my fluency in responding verbally, understanding context, and picking up cultural cues. Jean-Robert is a seasoned instructor who can work at your level, set goals and help you progress beyond what you may initially think is possible. And it doesn’t hurt that his format is supremely flexible and his prices very reasonable! In short, my time with Jean-Robert was always entertaining, educational and well spent. In fact, it was so enjoyable that I miss our regular interactions now that I’ve returned to the States. But my linguistic progress remains, and for that I’m grateful to have had such a patient and competent instructor. I would give Jean-Robert's services my highest recommendation. Give him a try; you won't be disappointed."    February 11, 2019

Vaclav Vocilka, Executive Secretary, GIE
"During my stay in Brussels as Executive Secretary of the international association GIE, in course of about last two years, I was taking French lessons with Jean-Robert Lebrun. From the very beginning we agreed a simple goal of our common endeavour: to improve my understanding of spoken language, to speak fluently without grammatical errors, however with no ambitions for perfection in orthography. For each lesson Jean-Robert prepared a text, with current topics from economy, politics or culture and based on that text we did various grammar exercises. We used the topics from the text for practicing conversation as well, with many digressions concerning practical life in Brussels in general or functioning of an international association in particular. Each lesson was not only an enrichment of my language knowledge but a personal gain and fun as well. After two years of my French learning with Jean-Robert Lebrun I could state: the target was met!

Parlez-vous français ? Lisez-vous le français ? Écrivez vous en français ? (Do you speak, read or write French)? Do you want to speak, read or write French? Then you need to contact Professor Lebrun. He lives in Southern France and uses Skype to teach his students how to speak, read and write in French. His lessons are enjoyable and fun. We speak on all topics and I've learned quite a bit about the language, France, Belgium , Switzerland and Louisiana (he's lived in all these places). I'm a long way from being fluent, however I can understand almost all the conversations we have and a few conversations of folks I meet in various places (airports, hotels) who speak French. Check him out; he's a great guy and full of great stories. Merci et bonne chance ! (Thank you and good luck!)"  August 2nd 2019

Have a look at French Minute https://www.frenchminute.com/ . I took lessons with Jean-Robert Lebrun when he lived in Brussels. He has vast experience and is excellent at tailoring his lessons to your needs. I subscribe to his French minute course and sometimes use Skype, email, voice recordings etc for when I need his help for some particular topic/situation. I value the flexibility of this kind of e-learning.
