Case Studies

I have tried other online courses, but the organization and content of your courses are the best. Your lessons are very helpful with the nuances in everyday French, and I particularly like the length of each lesson as I learn better in shorter lessons. Now, I feel more comfortable each time I try to speak, and I can listen to each lesson over and over.

It is possible to learn French at a mature age! I’m 62, and this introduction has made me want to learn more and hope that I may be able to communicate in French one day. I can learn on my own time, and the ability to repeat the lessons at my discretion allows me to practice.

It’s been many years since I learned French, and this course helped me believe I can re-learn it. In fact, it helped me know how to speak French the way it’s actually spoken, not just from a 35-year-old textbook. It was set up in a way that made learning easy and fun, and I loved the way each lesson was divided into sections with different videos for each. I feel more confident in speaking and understanding basic French in the way I need to be able to when I visit France later this year.

It’s easy and enjoyable to learn in this way. I’ve enjoyed learning a bit more conversational phrases, and I liked that each lesson offers multiple parts to practice: vocabulary, videos, etc. I know I will feel a little more confident when I visit France again.

This program is just what I needed. I am now less fearful of making mistakes while speaking, and I would recommend Test Your Conjugation to those who need a refresher course. Your exercises are as important as going to the gym!

I jumped at the chance to enroll in Test Your Conjugation! It is fun, and my 50-year-old high school French is really improving. I wake up and do a French lesson instead of browsing Instagram! It helped me sharpen grammar skills that I had forgotten. Big merci!!! This program is wonderful!

I took “French Vocabulary and Pronunciation” to speak with more confidence and less hesitation. The course will help you to sound natural, and not like a walking textbook. Even if you think that you are at an advanced level and the course is going to be too easy for you… it’s not, there are still a lot of subtleties to be learned. My attitude to making a mistake has completely changed… therefore my confidence has rocketed.

Although I have passed B2 level at Alliance Française, I found I was lacking in everyday phrases i.e. street French. French conversational language isn’t found in French textbooks! Even grammar is different: sometimes it is constructed differently in conversational French. Thanks to Géraldine’s program, I try out some new phrases when speaking and with more confidence knowing that a French teacher, living in France, was guiding whole lesson.

Going to France in June and wanted to get my French as polished as possible. Plus, I really, really love Geraldine’s videos! I took the course to understand French slang and to have better comprehension of “la logique”. I’ve studied French for many years and even lived a year in France, and I never noticed that true French speakers drop the “ne” in spoken phrases that include “ne pas!” First lesson was a real revelation!”

I love languages, and I wanted to improve my french from high school with real, spoken french so I could travel abroad. I loved having the insight of a native french speaker and I was surprised by all the little subtleties about spoken french. Instead of learning lists of vocabulary, it’s more like nuances that a non-native would take a while to pick up on.

Sometimes life is a bit hectic and French grammar requires focus and attention; but I’m so glad I took this program. It was so helpful, and so worth it! It’s a great way to learn and understand grammar a little better, and I love the structure and explanations on how to use the different tenses. It was a great review. I am so grateful to have found Comme une Française.

I’m trying to understand spoken French at a normal speed, so this was exactly what I wanted. I wasn’t sure it was the right level for me at first, but it is so rewarding for someone who is prepared to improve their oral comprehension skills slowly and methodically.

French food and wine are my passions, so I loved the vocabulary knowledge in Insider French. I am now concentrating on pronunciation in an attempt to sound more French, even to the French. I even feel more comfortable participating in wine tastings in France now.

I was worried I wouldn’t have enough time to commit to a French program, but Insider French is so practical and it never expires. It delivers real, practical information on topics I actually care about, and I can use it both in the U.S. and on vacation.

I wasn’t sure I would have enough time for Insider French, but I’m so glad I enrolled. It’s a very fun way to improve oral comprehension — especially for a foodie like me! I have better comprehension of spoken French and learned so much from the content. Now I’m more confident when I go to the fromagerie when I’m in France because I can discuss the various cheeses.

The topic — cheese and wine — is so much fun, and so important to French culture. I look forward to each lesson. They’re so easy to pull up when I have the time. It helps me review what I already have learned, increase my vocabulary, teach me new and interesting things about the French and France. I learn something new every lesson!

“This program helps me to really focus in on “true” spoken French. I am still not terribly good at this, even after many years, but I feel the more I work at it, the better I get. I love videos, and having the option to use subtitles, and the topics are very a propos to anyone wanting to learn more ABOUT French as well as those wanting to improve their comprehension.”

“Exercise Your French is a very deep resource I can turn to before each trip to France, so I always have what to say and what I might hear in response at my fingertips. There were a lot of cultural nuances I got from Exercise Your French. It gave me a better understanding of the French culture and psyche and being able to attach meaning to things you wouldn’t otherwise understand in spoken French.”

“I was reluctant to join another French program after so many years of relatively useless attempts. But the content in Exercise Your French is such that I have not wasted a single minute of learning not only the language, but useful language, while at the same time gaining meaningful exposure to the French culture. I have really benefited from the practical language,employablepronunciation, and common cultural insights. Real progress is its own reward. Thank you!”

“Exercise Your French has given me more structure to my learning. I like all the lesson topics and appreciate the beginner, intermediate, advanced grading and also the ability to print the lessons. It’s suitable for all levels and is very accessible. Thanks to this program, I’m meeting new friends and practising my French!”

Ce cours est le plus utile de tous ceux que j’ai pris. Rien de superflu, laconique mais chargé d’informations pratiques au maximum. On peut le reprendre à toute heure. Et en plus il est si entraînant qu’on a très envie de continuer à étudier le français, les Français et la France. Dans les leçons, il y a beaucoup de sujets vitaux. Ma langue française s’est enrichie des expressions qui ne sont connues que par les Français.
