TEST TESTIMONIALS

"J’adore le français depuis l’âge de 8 ans. À mon anniversaire le 20 février, je viens d’avoir 66 ans, et le français me plaît encore plus chaque année, x 100 fois grâce à ton cours. Je ne peux pas imaginer une vie sans mon apprentissage perpétuel de la langue qui durera jusqu’à la fin de mes jours !"

"I have already experienced an improvement in the level of my French comprehension. In particular my understanding of when to use which past tense has really improved.
 
I appreciate being able to go back over previous lessons and refresh some of the knowledge I have picked up.

Spoken examples in each module are useful, as understanding spoken French was always an area I found difficult. I also participate in online French class and now feel quite comfortable describing past events to the teacher and other students."

"Although I could read French and was able to translate most articles I had a real problem interpreting the spoken word which in turn inhibited me from starting a conversation. The ability to listen to conversations at various speeds helped me to attune my ear better and also helped me realize that I didn't have to translate every single word to get the gist of what was being said."

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.

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 were lost, drowning in so much materials and information. I realized I didn't have the proper grammatical knowledge and direction. I did not know where to start with.

 
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 feedbacks. We still need that human touch, I guess.

I really enjoy the course. I have a sense of building up the knowledge and advancing step by step. I especially like recording tool which I can verify my pronunciation. 

As I live and work in France I need to speak French every day and want to be able to have longer and more varied conversations with people.

This course is helping me build my vocabulary and also confidence in starting conversations but also to be able to join in conversations midway which can be quite challenging at times. My French friends have said how much my French has improved recently which is a great compliment!

“I particularly enjoyed the daily challenge in the course, and found the length of each lesson just right to feel I was staying in touch with learning the language. The story lessons were very helpful too.”

"This helped in identifying strengths and weaknesses. I particularly liked the progressive swell - the shape - of the course, and find the idea of language having a rhythm useful and interesting. For me, the Talk in French Grammar Mastery course found an ideal balance where I was pushed to learn and revise without feeling I knew nothing. I enjoyed the course and miss it a little now that I’ve finished it."

"The French Grammar Mastery Course is very useful and packed with great material. Easy to download and easy to navigate. Help is always on hand, with prompt answers to any queries. And once you have the Talk In French courses, you can access them at any time.

Thank you, Frederic!"

"I must admit I was hesitant to take the French Grammar Mastery Course. However, the decision to go for it gave me a needed boost, and I’m continuing toward my goal of fluency.

The lessons are well structured, organized and each subject is well presented and easy to understand. There are lots of examples to help with your understanding that helped me learn a lot of grammar and vocabulary.

I wouldn’t say it was easy, but it certainly was one of the best and most enjoyable French courses I have taken.

I discovered that 1 - 1 ½ hours of practice each day work best for me, and the frequent review exercises were incredibly helpful. They not only highlighted areas that I needed to go over again for better understanding, but they helped “fix” the material in my mind.

I have also emailed Frederic on occasion to clarify a point of grammar that I did not understand. A feature that was very helpful to me."

"I really enjoyed this book and think it's a great place to start learning French. It fearlessly informs of what might lie ahead if you choose to continue your intention to learn French and offers some great tips and wonderful resources. No tricky verbs or nasty grammar - just good advice grounded in experience and enthusiasm. Thank you Frédéric, for another gem"

"I feel that the organization of the course is excellent, and the material range is broad. I have enjoyed the dictation exercises and find them useful and not intimidating. It has been helpful to have both fast and slow playback speeds and excellent sound quality and articulation within the lessons. Overall highly recommend it."

"I have lived in France for 3 years now and have tried many different courses. 

I wasn't sure about joining the course as I previously spent money on courses that turned out worse than I had hoped, but I am glad I decided to take the plunge with Talk in French!

As I live in France, I have to practice speaking in the shops, which can be daunting, but I am finding more confident with my speaking, and I can understand more than I did before starting this course."

"This course is great. I have been working on my school French for a year, getting ready for retiring to a house in France. I completed several other online courses and was looking for something more advanced.

The ‘graded essays’ are the best! I definitely found that these graded lessons pushed me a lot further, and creating my own sentences became easier (and grammatically correct). Amicablement!

I also love how often Frédéric shows alternatives to make the sentence sound more natural and conversation-based."

"The Complete French Program is an excellent way to learn and review French. The program is comprehensive in the levels of French covered and meets the requirements of DELF.

Progress through the course is constantly tested and reinforced, which serves to enhance student comprehension. Furthermore, the student’s knowledge and skill get tested through translations and texts. All reviewed by Frédéric.

This is valuable feedback that helps indicate specific areas of French that you should go over once more before moving on. I have been learning French for quite a few years, and have found the Complete French Program very useful."
