Support and Help Center

We offer different courses for different levels and for different areas of learning. Simply enroll in the course that suits you best. Each lesson in the courses is designed to be taken each day to facilitate habit formation. However, if the one lesson/day setup does not work for you, you are free to access the lessons at your most convenient time.

We offer premium courses for each level:

The Complete Beginner French Course

The Complete Intermediate French Course

The Complete Advanced French Course

If you wish to access the Talk in French courses or the blog, yes, you will need to be connected to the internet. However, once you have enrolled in the course(s), you may download a copy of the offline version of the course (e-book format) which can be accessed on any device even without the internet.

I previously bought an e-book from the store, can I access the online course version?

For previous buyers of the e-book version, please send an email to contact@talkinfrench.com so we could guide you on how to access the online course version.

When you run into some issues or glitches along the way, please send an email to us at contact@talkinfrench.com and be as specific as possible. Please include the URL where you encountered the issue and, if possible, include a screenshot, too. We will try our best to get back to you as soon as possible with a solution to your concern.

Once you have logged in (see previous question and answer), you will be able to view Your Profile page. Simply look for the Your Profile button in the upper left corner of the homepage. 

You will see that all your available courses are listed there.

If you have bought a course from Talk in French but for some reason it does not show up in Your Profile, please do the following steps. 

Step 1: Check your email and make sure that you received a confirmation email for your purchase.

A confirmation email from Talk in French will be sent to the email address registered to your Talk in French account. Make sure to also check your junk mail/ spam folder.

There may be a possibility that you used a different email address. Kindly check your other email addresses, too.

If you were not able to receive any confirmation email despite multiple double checking on your part, it could indicate that your purchase did not go through. 

Step 2: Check your bank/paypal

To confirm that you have in fact, already purchased the course, please double check the payment history of the payment method you used whether it is using your bank or your paypal account.

If the purchase shows up in your financial information but you have not been able to locate the course using the steps mentioned, please proceed to step 3. 

Step 3: Contact Talk in French support

Please send the details to contact@talkinfrench.com and we’ll be happy to help you figure out what happened to your purchase and how you may access it. 

In the log in page, click “Lost your password?” 

You will then be asked to reset your password:

Follow the instructions until you are able to re login using the new password. 

In the course homepage, you can check the progress bar where the equivalent percentage of the course you have taken will be reflected. 

Take note that the lessons may be taken in any order and your progress will still be tracked. But it is highly recommended that you follow the sequence provided. 

In lessons that contain quizzes, you need to complete all the quizzes first before you will be able to complete each lesson. 

Important note to course takers of the Complete Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced courses:

We offer writing exercises that are personally being reviewed and given feedback by myself, Frederic Bibard. Once the essays are reviewed and approved, the writing exercise will be marked as completed. So if your essay is not yet received and corrected, the lesson will not be considered complete by the system.

I will personally leave comments in the essay section of the course. You should be able to receive a notification in your email inbox and from there click on the “permalink” and you will be able to view the feedback and corrections.

You may also be able to access your previous essays in Your Profile. You can check your essays and their corresponding feedback there. 

In general, I will correct the error(s) in red and provide an alternative to your sentence in green font. In most cases, your sentence may be grammatically correct but it can sound more natural with the alternative sentence written in the green font.

Yes in most courses you should be able to see the first module called “offline materials” where you can get the downloadable version of your course. We are about to simplify the system to make it even easier. A print version and an e-book version/audiobook version will be provided as well whenever applicable.

We limit the number of submissions per quiz, but if you think you sent your essay by mistake, just contact us at contact@talkinfrench.com.

Yes you do have an option to retake the quiz and each time, your new score will be reflected.  But for learning purposes, my advice is to take note of your errors and try to do better in the succeeding quizzes.
