Is This Familiar to You?🤔

You love everything about France and maybe you've even visited the place. But a lot of times, there's this nagging feeling inside.

Think about those meetings with French friends or clients. Everyone seems to be on the same page but you. It's a struggle just trying to keep up. 

And when you muster the courage to say something, you're met with polite nods... but you can tell people didn't quite get what you meant.

Or maybe, you’ve thought of walking into a French cafe, confidently ordering in French and impressing everyone around you. 

But when the opportunity comes, doubt creeps in. 

“Will I mess up the pronunciation? Will they understand me?” 😟

Trying to make a French sentence feels like solving a giant puzzle. 

And learning the language feels like such a big hill to climb.

At first, with so many online courses & programs, you thought, "This will be fun!" But too many choices can be confusing. And after picking a course? It wasn’t as great as it promised.

The lack of genuine feedback, the feeling of talking to a wall instead of having real conversations—it all piled up, leaving you stuck in this cycle of trying, failing, and not knowing why. 😟

Speaking to a computer isn't the same as chatting with a person. So, you tried, but you felt stuck.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. 

Because Learning French Should Be Fun, Not Frustrating. 

Bonjour,

I'm Frédéric 👋🏼

In 2013, I started Talk in French out of a passion for French and a wish to teach others.

Most French courses miss a big piece: They don't give feedback from native French speakers.

Without real feedback, it's like running in circles: you try, you stumble, and you don't know where you went wrong.

Students are left guessing about their mistakes, unsure how to get better, and can't ask for help when they're lost.

And then I came up with an idea.

I decided to create a step-by-step, comprehensive French program that allows beginners to get personalized feedback from native speakers. 

So they could progress much faster, sound more natural, and confidently engage in real-life conversations. 😉

It allows me what I did not have before...

"I decided that I wanted to take the next step and enroll in the intermediate French course. I have greatly enjoyed this course so far.


It allows me what I did not have before, which is to have my work checked, to have a teacher willing to explain and give feedback, and to receive simple, concise, but challenging grammar lessons."

Now I have the opportunity to make mistakes and have them corrected...

"Now I have the opportunity to make mistakes and have them corrected. The exercises are returned very promptly before I have a chance to forget the problems I had in writing them, which is much appreciated.

I had been teaching myself French and reached the point where I had to make a decision; find a course that suited me or give up. I'm happy I found Frederic and his courses, they are exactly what I need. Once I've completed the Complete Beginner Course, I intend to continue to the Intermediate and hopefully advanced levels."

Before the course, my listening comprehension was below average. Now, it has improved greatly...

"The most useful parts of the course are the listening exercises and writing exercises. I believe my listening comprehension has greatly increased, and the writing exercises guide me into creating grammatically correct French.

Before the course, my listening comprehension was below average. Now, it has improved greatly. Before the course, I did almost no writing, as I was using Babel, which does not require writing. Now, I write short essays as I complete each section of the course."

I have a sense of building up the knowledge and advancing step by step.

"I felt passionate about French when I started learning. I grabbed whatever I could learn from. It was fun at the beginning but soon I felt I was lost, drowning in so many materials and information. I realized I didn't have the proper grammatical knowledge and direction. I did not know where to start.

This is why I took the course. And I am glad I did. The course provides me the solid knowledge and just enough amount of practice. I like the quick feedback from the teacher on essay quizzes. It motivates me a lot when I receive personalized feedback. We still need that human touch, I guess.

I have a sense of building up the knowledge and advancing step by step. I especially like recording tools where I can verify my pronunciation."

The writing exercises became the most useful and rewarding aspect...

"There were several things that really impressed me about this course. First (and most important) is the practice actually writing essays in French, and having them corrected!


I spent a huge amount of time on the writing exercises, and they became the most useful and rewarding aspect of this course. I cannot imagine how anyone finds the time to read and comment on these, but you have my heartfelt thanks."

It’s all helping to boost my self-esteem. Thank you!

"I studied French at school (a LONG time ago!) and could ‘get by’ when going on holiday to France. However, a few years ago we bought a property in France so my French HAD to improve.

I’ve taken lots of courses but this one is VERY easy to access to practice things I’ve already been introduced to.

The things that really impress me though are a) the relevancy to modern-day events and b) the very quick and personal feedback I receive. It’s all helping to boost my self-esteem. Thank you!"
