Send a message to your LingoCulture teacher before class to share goals, requests, or special needs. Quick guide to pre-class communication.
Updated 1 month ago

Want to share your learning goals, mention a tricky topic, or just give your teacher a heads-up before class? You absolutely can! Messaging your teacher before class helps them prepare and personalize your lesson. Communiquons! (Let's communicate!)

 

Why Message Your Teacher?

  • Share what you'd like to focus on (pronunciation, grammar, conversation)

  • Mention topics you're struggling with

  • Request a specific pace (slower for beginners, faster for advanced)

  • Ask to practice for an exam, job interview, or trip

  • Give context about your learning journey so far

Don't worry about being "too specific" or "too demanding", teachers LOVE when students share their needs! It helps them help you.

How to Send a Message: Step-by-Step

  1. Book your class first (see How do I book a class? for the full guide)

  2. Click on the Calendar tab in the top right corner of the platform

  3. Find your booked class

  4. Click directly on that slot. A pop-up window will appear with your class details

  1. Type your message in the text box inside the pop-up

  2. Click "Send comments"

Voila! Your teacher now knows what you need🎯

 

What to Write in Your Message

Not sure what to say? Here are some examples:

  • "Hi! This is my first class. I'm a complete beginner (A0 level) and feeling a bit nervous, but excited! I'd love to start with basic introductions and pronunciation. Merci!"

  • "Bonjour! I'd like to focus on the passe compose today. I keep mixing up etre and avoir verbs."

  • "Hello! I'm preparing for my DELF B2 exam in 2 months. Could we practice the oral production section today?"

  • "Hi! I'd love to just have a natural conversation today about travel. I'm planning a trip to Lyon!"

 

Common Questions About Messaging

Q: Can I write in English or should I write in French?
A: Either is fine! If you want to practice French, go for it.

Q: What if I forget to message before class?
A: No problem! Just mention your goals at the start of class. Your teacher will adjust on the spot.

Q: My teacher hasn't responded to my message. Is that normal?
A: Yes! This message shows on the teacher's platform like a small banner so they cannot really answer this message pre-class.

This is how it looks on the teacher's end:
