Dearest students, as announced last month, I took a 2 week break from writing and sending you blog posts, but:

  • I’m back!
  • It wasn’t exactly a break ha!

(below I’ll cover my French experiences while giving you tons of French material for you to learn and practice, so don’t be shy and scroll away!)

 

In these 2 weeks:

 

1- I took 10 exams at the Université de Reims and found out on Tuesday that not only had I passed, but I got some really good grades! I am thrilled and super proud, I’ve worked so hard! All my courses for next year are already available so, in my best Hermione Granger style, I won’t wait until September and shall dive right back into my books… now!

2- I spent 5 days walking all over Paris to determine which arrondissements I wanted to live in, since, as you know, I’m moving there this September!

 

I took advantage of finding myself in this magical city to say bonjour to my beloved Marcel Proust. Last December, I bumped into him at the Musée d’Orsay:

This time, I visited his grave at the Père Lachaise cemetery:

Landed on his avenue:

And found one of his homes:

But I mostly walked and walked and walked and walked partout dans Paris, en long, en large, et en travers, to soak it all in and make a decision about where my new home should be!

 

3- I then traveled to London to meet & interview more amazing French entrepreneurs, cooks, colleagues, libraries, universities to finalize the organization of my upcoming London French Immersion Courses! You’ll soon receive the video interviews, en français bien sûr.

 

While in London, I also picked up a copy of the magazine Ici Londres, and look who’s on page 33 next to Céline Dion and… yes… the Queen of England! Pas mal, n’est-ce pas?

I had 16 meetings in total and interviewed 3 amazing French women who will be part of my London French Immersion Courses. Let me give you a short introduction now.

 

Candice Desmet

Candice is an actress and the founder of Act’in, a drama school in London providing classes in English and in French! What a creative way to learn a foreign language! And to provide top services to her students, she also partners with a French teacher to accompany them along the way and give them confidence. We met last week for breakfast and had a wonderful time. Candice is a smart & generous free spirit. I will soon share with you my short video interview of her, en français.

Ida Ossonemane

Ida is the founder of the online food store Coup’d Food Africa and the co-creator of Culinary Discovery Club in London, organizing and hosting African cooking classes focused on the food of course, but also the culture of the various African countries she covers. Ida is an incredibly creative & resourceful entrepreneur! I attended one of Ida’s workshops, invited some friends along, and together we had the loveliest Saturday afternoon. I will soon share with you my short video interview of her, en français.

Julie Louas

Julie is a personal stylist & the founder of Fashion Moodz. She dives into not only the wardrobe of the women she advises, but also into their psychology, their personality, their dreams & desires, to help them become the person they are meant to be. I spent my last London evening with Julie in a café on the delightful Marylebone High Street where we chatted away for 3 hours, even though it felt like 30 minutes, before realizing it was time to go home! Julie is warm, bright, fun, and genuinely passionate about bringing the best out of people.

100% French Experience

 

What inspired me to create this French Immersion Course? C’est très simple: how best to improve your French conversation skills than by being in France, surrounded with French culture and French people who will ONLY speak French to you? Yet so many times I have heard visitors express their disappointment at not really being given the chance to practice their French. Why? Because more & more French people, especially in big cities, speak English fairly well and are just so excited to practice their new skills with you! This ends up being nice and comfortable for you but not so satisfying or helpful for improving your French speaking ability! So to fix this and make sure you have the most enjoyable, and at the same time profitable, French learning experience, I decided to create the perfect environment for you by organizing this hands-on French Immersion Course.

learn french online

In this course, you will find 15 videos (+ 10 bonus ones) to help & accompany you every step of the way through the course + for each word, each sentence, each expression, each conjugated verb, I have created an audio file of my voice, slow and slightly faster speed. Your French language learning experience has never been so easy, fun, and fruitful. You can learn French online and benefit from the flexibility working at your own pace offers, while having me with you the whole time.

 

Did you know…

You can converse (speak + understand) in French with only 600 WORDS?

The average French person only uses between 300 & 3,000 WORDS?

This means that if you can master a relatively short list of words, you’ll be able to express yourself like the average French person! Plus you’re much more likely to understand the French when they talk back to you!

 

This course will teach you…

1- How to speak French

2- How to pronounce French

3- How to make French sentences

4- How to conjugate all the most common French verbs

5- How to polish your results

6- How to self evaluate your French

More info HERE

  • It should take you about 30 hours to complete this course, which is made up of 10 lessons
  • This course is designed for a beginner / intermediate level. If you are intermediate but feel like you could really reinforce your foundations, you will love it.

Online course # 2: PERFECT PRONUNCIATION

Learn French online

In this course you will find 11 videos + 150 audio files + 92 pages PDF format to help & accompany you every step of the way throughout the course. In some parts of the videos, my face will appear close up and profile so you can easily see how I make these sounds with my mouth. The 150 audio files are composed of the 100 most popular French words and the 50 most common French phrases. They are recordings of my voice, speaking slowly enough so you can easily grasp every syllable. Your French language learning experience has never been so easy, fun, and fruitful. You can learn French online and benefit from the flexibility working at your own pace offers, while having me with you the whole time.

NB: if you are the proud owner of my previous French online course 600 WORDS, don’t worry, this is not a repeat as we are now exploring 1 letter words and up, whereas in 600 WORDS we began at 4 letter words and up.

 

Combine knowledge with confidence…

For you to be able to have a pleasant and efficient conversation with a French person, one thing is key… can you guess what it is? Confidence! How well do you think you will communicate in French if you don’t feel confident about your accent? If you are scared that people won’t understand you? Or even worse if you think someone might make fun of you? Without a minimum of confidence there is no room for communication. Yet if you feel confident, you can afford to make a few mistakes here and there because people will still understand you. What prevents a conversation from happening isn’t just a lack of knowledge, it’s also a lack of confidence. You need to have both to make it work, not to mention, to make it fun!

 

This course will teach you…

1- How to pronounce every letter of the alphabet

2- How to pronounce every digraph & trigraph

3- How to make every French sentence flow

4- How to pronounce the 100 most popular French words

5- How to pronounce the 50 most popular French phrases

6- How to avoid the pronunciation mistakes everyone makes
