Welcome to Nattalingo
The Mobile and Virtual French Language Teacher
My name is Nathalie Paris (I promise you, it is my real French name!). After being a full-time French Language Teacher in secondary education for 19 years I decided to become self-employed. Having enjoyed teaching languages for over 10 years in primary feeder schools, I chose to focus on that (I currently teach weekly in 3 schools). Then in order to share my extensive collection of French books with others… the idea came about (it was my very good friend Carol’s!) of putting them in a mobile library ! I ran storytelling sessions on my bus from 2015 to 2020.
Sadly, in February 2020, I had to let go of it… I am still here though! I am currently available for storytelling sessions (in person in my region and remotely everywhere!) and can also support primary schools (click here to find out how) and families (click here to find out how) in many ways with their language learning.
In addition, I run French classes and groups for various ages and abilities in my home city, Durham. Click here for more details.
The name…
The name Nattalingo was my son’s idea! As I am called Nathalie, it is a play on words combining my name and the word lingo. Natha-lingo didn’t read right so we changed the spelling!
Please note that, as a French Language Teacher, I am DBR checked.
