The Mediterranean Sea lies to the south of France, with the principality of Monaco forming a small enclave. To the west, France has a long Atlantic ocean coastline, while to the north lies the English Channel, across which lies the last of Frances neighbors, England

Lowland France consists of four river basins, the Seine in the north, the Loire and the Garonne flowing westwards and the Rhone which flows from lake Geneva to the Mediterranean Sea.

It’s not difficult to learn French words. Anyone can do it. Repeat the words enough to yourself and eventually they’ll stick. You could teach French words to a parrot – but it’s not language. When you want to turn words into useful sentences, into meaningful conversations, you need to learn French phrases.

So what’s a French phrase? Well a good place to start would be “Bonjour, comment allez-vous” (that’s “hello, how are you?” by the way). The French are normally very polite and almost every time you meet, no matter how well you know them, French will ask “Bonjour, comment allez-vous” or, if they know you well “Bonjour, ca va?” which means the same but is more informal.

I could go on through a whole string of short French phrases, “Ça fait combien?” (“how much is that?”), “Pouvez-vous m’aider?” (“can you help me?”), “Excusez-moi, ou est le gare?” (excuse me, where is the station?”) all of which you’ll find useful – but there isn’t room here to do any list justice and it’s not really the purpose of this article. The purpose is to point out how important it is to learn French phrases – it’s the whole basis of conversation, the difference between a set of words in a dictionary and the construction of a language. Once you get the hang of learning French phrases a world of possibilities opens up to you. Once you know how the French language is constructed it’s like having the key to a secret lock. Unlock it and you’ll be able to put your own phrases together – and that’s really what speaking French is all about.

Online tutoring jobs are those jobs where a tutor instructs a student over the internet. There are many companies that specialize in this service, and students often like the ability to study from their home.

Online tutoring jobs are great for anyone who loves helping others learn. The best online tutors are comfortable with the internet including instant messaging. Online tutoring jobs also require some expertise. College students with a major in a sought after field, such as education, mathematics, hard sciences, or English also make great online tutors. Retired teachers also find that online tutoring jobs are a great way to work part time from the comfort of their own home.

Typically, online tutoring jobs are arranged through a company that specializes in online tutoring services. Clients are matched to tutors, and the tutoring sessions are set up to meet the schedule of both the tutor and the student.

Then, online tutors teach a lesson using electronic means. Tutors can email, instant message, and send files to their students. Most online tutoring companies have interactive websites that the tutor and student use simultaneously to communicate. The student often takes quizzes and works on practice questions on his or her home computer, and the online tutor can track the student’s progress.

Online tutoring jobs are a fun way to use your educational background to really help kids. Sometimes you work with one student for a full academic year, charting their progress. Other students may seek only sporadic help with the occasional assignment, coming to an online tutor when they are stumped in their trigonometry class, for example.

Either type of student can be very rewarding for someone who takes an online tutoring job. Helping students is in itself a great reward, and you also gain valuable experience both with online technology and with teaching kids who are having trouble in a subject. For a college student looking to go into the education field, this can be a particularly valuable job opportunity.
