Why you haven’t been able to learn French:

❌No plan or structure 

You’re doing a bunch of random apps / podcasts / books / classes etc 

You can’t do random stuff and expect good results !!

✅There’s a progression, there’s a way to integrate French into your lifestyle that is enjoyable & sustainable (I show you how in my free guide, link in bio!)

❌No speaking practice 

You cannot learn to SPEAK French from playing on apps / reading books etc

That doesn’t even make sense 

✅ You have to practice using the language in real life situations, there’s no other way to get better

And I’m sorry but anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you 

❌Only using material for French learners 

You cannot get good at French by only using material for students 

✅ At some point you have to take a leap and start using material for natives

Growth is outside your comfort zone 

❌Learning random vocab you’ll never use 

When learning a new word / expression, ask yourself “am I going to use this in real life??”

✅ Instead of learning random stuff, focus on what you will actually need when you speak French (like ordering in a resto, asking where the restrooms are, talking to your significant other or their family in French if they’re a native, etc)

N’hésitez pas si vous avez des questions ☺️

In my latest YouTube video, I react to Parisian horror stories 👻 link in bio / story !

I’ve never really understood the “Parisians are jerks” stereotype, but I never really hung out in touristy places 

I could see how that could be true in a very touristic neighborhood

How about you? What have you experienced?

For how well known they are, I’ve personally never met someone who could say “I totally learned this language on ______ (insert language app)”

But everyday I speak to someone who has a 1,361 days streak on some app yet THEY STILL CAN’T SPEAK FRENCH !!

If you’ve tried language apps and didn’t get the result you want, this is why:

(And if you did get the result you want, I’m just so happy for you, you won ☺️!)

1. No accountability 

You need accountability to learn French !!

You need someone to keep you going when it gets hard

Someone to talk to about the psychology of language learning, the fear, the embrasent, etc 

Someone who understands where you are, why you’re stuck, and how to get you unstuck

2. Not personalized 

Everyone is unique, everyone has different strengths & weaknesses 

“One size fits all” language apps are not effective!

To really progress in French as quickly & easily as possible, you need a custom program, tailored to fit your specific needs & goals 

3. No community 

Language was created for humans to connect 

You cannot learn to SPEAK French alone in your bedroom playing on some app

You need to practice with other people to get good at French, there’s no other way 

4. The BIGGEST reason 👇

Apps don’t work because you don’t even know what pace is going to be effective to hit your goals!

Most French students will do the bare minimum = not enough to hit their goals 

If you could learn French on your own, you wouldn’t be here!

That’s why you need a French coach to push you and make sure you’re hitting your goals!

Mais vous en pensez quoi ?

I get this question all the time !!

🇫🇷En haut - up there, upstairs etc 
= no liaison !!

This is why:

🔑Any word beginning w/ an H that is of Latin / Grec origins = liaison 

Les hommes (latin / grec)
Le-zhommes

🔑Any word beginning w/ an H that is of Germanic origins = NO liaison 

Les Halles (germanique)
Les-halles

Les haricots 
Les-ha-ri-cots

Sometimes I don’t like how my accent sounds in French 😂 

Even though most of the time it sounds great and people even ask me if I’m French, it really depends on the day!

And I know it’s cuz I’m stressed or thinking about something else etc 

But being a full time content creator / owning an online French school / leading a small team of people who work for me CAN BE SO STRESSFUL AT TIMES 😩

So here is one of my fav phrases ever, I think of it whenever I’m stressed out:

🇫🇷Je fais de mon mieux - I’m doing my best 

Pronounced:

🇫🇷Chfaisd-mon-mieux

Anyway I’d love to hear your thoughts on this subject !! Let me know what you think in the comments ☺️

You’ve been studying French for YEARS, yet you still can’t hold a conversation?

This is why 👇

You can’t hold a conversation in French 
 because you never practice having conversations in French!

Instead of just learning grammar rules and vocab, you have to learn how to put it all together and use it in conversation

There comes a point where no class / app / book / worksheet can help you SPEAK French, you just have to practice doing it.

It’s like driving a car. You can read books about it, watch videos, fill out worksheets, but if you never practice actually driving a car, you’re never going to be very good at it.

Here are a couple ways you can find friends to practice French with:

Tandem, HelloTalk (language exchange apps)

Meetup.com

Still feel stuck in French?

This is what I help my private clients with!

I show them techniques to speak French way more easily, how to find friends to practice with, and make them a custom practice routine so they can actually see the progress they want in 🇫🇷.

DM the word “FRENCH” to finally learn French for good!

How I learned French:

At 23: took 4 semesters of French, could HARDLY hold a conversation 

At 25: found a French conversation group on meetup.com, went every week for 2 years, I can now hold a conversation in French pretty well !! 

In 2013, I visited Paris for the first time as an adult, made a bunch of new friends!

At 26: moving to Paris, going to study French at La Sorbonne

At 28: still living in Paris, finished my bachelors degree in French & francophone studies, my French is getting so good!

At 33: finished my masters in teaching French as a foreign language at Middlebury College 

I’m now 36, it took me 15+ years to get my French where it is today, but I love speaking French !! And I love all the friends I’ve made a long the way

Remember it’s a journey, try to enjoy the process 🥲 it goes quick!

⚠️There’s so much more to speaking French well than just grammar & vocabulary!

I tell my private students to focus on “communicating” in French.

🔑Facial expressions, body language, gestures, tone, etc all of these play a huge role in how we communicate!

Check out my videos about Mick Jagger & Bradley Cooper speaking French (pinned at the top of my account) to see what I mean.

Here’s a hack to sound WAY more natural in French 🤯

🔑In front of the sounds P T K F, “je” tends to sound like “sh” 

Des exemples :

Je prends un verre 

Je termine 

Je comprends pas 

Je fais ça souvent

⚠️The biggest mistake I see my private French students: they only use apps / textbooks / worksheets to learn French !

🔑To get good at holding conversations in French, at some point you have to practice holding conversations in French A LOT !!

There’s no other way 

There are language exchange apps like HelloTalk & Tandem !
