The Complete Beginner French Course

"Start learning French."

This phrase has probably been lurking at the back of your mind for a long time now. Or perhaps it’s a mainstay in your to-do list year after year… after year. But still, for one reason or another, you just can’t seem to get started. 

It’s time that you stop saying you’ll do it tomorrow and start acting on it, NOW. 

“But--I’m too busy to learn French! I simply don’t have the time!”

“There are way too many choices out there! How will I know if it’s the right learning method for me?” 

“But--I just don’t know how and where to begin!

“It requires a huge commitment and I have plenty of other responsibilities to deal with.”

I can almost hear your objections from here. Just remember that if you keep waiting for the perfect time to get started, it will never happen. You would always find something less than ideal in your situation that would hinder you from taking the first steps in learning French. 

This Complete Beginner French Course Will Help You Start Now

If hiring a tutor is out of your budget and you cannot squeeze actual French classes into your schedule, learning French on your own is the way to go. When you learn independently, you can choose your own pace and learn at your own convenience.

But this method may backfire when the learning material you choose does not have an effective structure. 

You need structured, carefully planned, and specially prepared lessons that will not frustrate a beginner but instead will offer enough challenge to continue with them. You need a learning method that covers it all, thereby eliminating the need to use two or more learning resources.

This Complete Beginner French Course is the answer you’re looking for. 

With 40 highly-intensive French lessons covering all aspects of beginner French including grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening, speaking, and writing, you will get a step-by-step course that’s perfect for independent learners. 

Meet Your Instructor

This course is created by Frederic Bibard, the founder of top French website TalkinFrench.com. Frederic, a native of Paris, France, has spent more than a decade teaching French abroad. 

One of the things that struck him when he was teaching French is the limited range of resources that fully meet the needs of the busy, modern learner. Since then, he has made it his life’s work to remedy this, one French book and one French course at a time.

Drawing on his long years of teaching, he has selected the most effective approach and tools that will resonate best with the modern student--young and old alike. 

This course is one of the results of his careful analysis and fine-tuning of the learning methods he’s used over the years. 

How Will this Beginner French Course Help You?

Learning French is a daunting task. It needs the right frame of mind, a good dose of motivation, and a foolproof learning method. This course will help you with all that and more. 

Here’s how this beginner course will help you:

  • You will learn the different aspects of beginner French grammar using simple instructions and a straight-to-the-point method.
  • With its strong focus on listening comprehension, the course provides you with plenty of audio lessons to build a strong foundation for your listening and pronunciation skills.
  • You will be able to develop your French vocabulary by learning new words grouped according to themes, starting from the most commonly used. The words are introduced both in writing and in audio.
  • You will be able to grasp the different grammar concepts and vocabulary by seeing them illustrated in easy-to-follow sample conversations.
  • The exercises and practice activities for listening, writing, reading, and speaking will ensure that you fully understand the lessons and can successfully use them in actual practice.
  • Practice your speaking skills and greatly boost your pronunciation with speaking exercises in every lesson.
  • The course also includes learning tips and language hacks specific to beginner-level learners.
  • Maintain your motivation throughout all the lessons learning actionable techniques to keep you on course until you reach your French language goals.

At the end of the course, you will be provided with a free assessment similar to the DELF A1 exam. This evaluation will help you gauge your proficiency after the 40 comprehensive French lessons and give you something to look forward to at the end of the course.

"What if I can’t study full time and finish the course in 8 weeks?"


The course is constructed in a way that you should have at least 1 hour a week to get something out of it, (I recommend 5 hours for the absolute best results). This way you’ll complete the entire level in about 8 weeks.

But don’t worry if you need to take a break or something is keeping you from finishing the lessons within the ideal timeframe. 

You get lifetime access so you can always move through the course at a pace that suits you best and return to lessons whenever you feel. Most students have been able to finish the entire course within 3 months.

And as an extra bonus and to make sure this program is still valid long after you sign up ㇐ you’ll have access to all future updates I make to keep this course a top French learning product ㇐ at no additional charge.  

The last time I launched an update was in February (2021) ㇐ it focused on daily speaking exercises. Before that, I rolled out another update in October (2020), that restructured the entire course based on feedback from previous students, to make it even better. I plan to keep developing the different areas even further in the future so this is not a course that gets lost in time.

How long does the course take to complete if I follow the schedule?

If you follow the basic requirement most students finish a complete course within 3 months. If you decide to follow the most effective plan I designed, (5 hours a week), you'll complete the course within 8 weeks.

What happens if I need to take a break or have some days/weeks where I can't study?

No problem, I realize something can happen in life where you won't be able to study as much as you'd like, so I offer lifetime access to any course you join. This includes access to any updates that I add in the future after you join.

Will I get any help from a teacher throughout the course?

Yes, I’ll personally correct your in-course writing assignments and give you feedback on everything from how you put your sentences together to your choice of words and grammar.

What if I find out I joined at the wrong level?

It doesn't happen often but if you find the level you joined is either too easy or too difficult I will happily let you switch to another level, (up or down), at no extra cost.

This is about you getting the best results so I don't want you to struggle through a level that isn't right for you. (This is also covered by the 30-day guarantee).
