About me
Hi. I’m Mostafa Shalchi, an Official Translator, Language Entrepreneur, and your guide to mastering the French language.
My Language Journey
My love for languages isn't just an academic pursuit; it’s been a part of me since childhood. Spending my early years (from ages 2 to 6) in the former Yugoslavia exposed me to the beautiful complexity of foreign languages right from the start. This early experience sparked a lifelong passion. I began my journey with English, but it was the French language that truly captured my heart and became my life's work.
Professional Expertise & Recognition
I hold a C2 TCF certification (the highest official level of French proficiency) alongside a Master's degree in French Translation. Working professionally as an Official Translator, my work has been officially recognized by UNESCO. Over the years, I’ve had the immense honor of collaborating with prestigious organizations such as UNICEF, National Geographic, the French Iranian Studies Association, and the Pasteur Institute. This real-world, high-level experience allows me to teach you practical, culturally nuanced French used by global professionals.
Teaching Experience & Community
With over 20 years of teaching experience (since 2004), I have had the privilege of helping thousands of students achieve their fluency goals. I am passionate about building accessible learning environments, which led me to:
Build a Thriving Community: Sharing daily lessons with over 90,000 learners on Instagram and 50,000+ subscribers on YouTube.
Found Nazdiktar Language School (2020): Providing premium online and in-person instruction.
Create Francegram (2016): A dedicated platform for comprehensive French video and audio lessons.
Host Educational Podcasts: Producing two highly successful language learning podcasts.
My Teaching Style
I firmly believe that education doesn't have to be boring. You'll always find a good dose of humor in my lessons because a relaxed mind learns best. I am also deeply passionate about integrating new technologies, AI, and modern teaching methodologies into my courses to give you the most efficient, up-to-date, and engaging learning experience possible. Let's make learning French an exciting adventure together.
