I’m so glad that you decided to join us. 🥰

Over the next 30 days, we’re going to explore a daily challenge to help you get better at speaking real, everyday spoken French. Each activity should take no more than 15 minutes a day.

Our Theme & Dates

The content for this ‘Toulouse’ edition of the 30-Day French Challenge will be delivered from Tuesday, July 1st until Wednesday, July 30th.

Here’s quick preview of the topics we’ll be covering together:

Chapter 1 – Exploring the Pink City: We’ll start with a virtual walking tour of Toulouse 👣 as we discover the city’s winding river 🌊 and its most beautiful monuments🏛️. Of course there will be plenty of ‘pit stops’ so we can explore the city’s parks and gardens 🌳 and gastronomy 😋.

Chapter 2 – Historical Landmarks: Toulouse has been shaped by kingdoms 👑, fire 🔥, trade 🛍️, aeronautics 🚀 and so much more. Let’s step back in time together ⌚ to examine some of the most defining moments of the city’s 2000+ year history 🔎.

Chapter 3 – Cultural Celebrations: Get to know Toulouse’s many cultural events, from the annual violet festival 🌼 and music festival 🎶 to a night at the Théâtre du Capitole 🎭. We’ll also explore the city’s museums 🖼️, dedicated to everything from art 🎨 to medical instruments 💉.

Chapter 4 – Gastronomy: Located at the heart of the Sud-Ouest region ❤️, Toulouse is a true gastronomic capital of France 🤤. From cassoulet to foie gras 🦆, fénétra cake to violet ice cream 🍦, we’ll delight your tastebuds as we explore the city’s most delicious fares.

Chapter 5 – The Stars of Toulouse: Did you know Toulouse is home to famous astronauts 🧑‍🚀, actors 🎭, songwriters 🎤, athletes 👟, TV hosts 📺 and more? As we round out the Challenge, we’ll get to know some of the stars and celebrities that have come from this city 🤩.

👉 Please note that the Challenge contents will be made available here, in the course platform. The daily content will not be emailed to you directly – so please be sure to bookmark this page and keep the link somewhere safe!

In this community, you’ll also be able to share your thoughts, experiences, and questions about the daily challenges, and connect with other people who love to learn more about French and French culture — just like you! 😄

How to get fast answers to your questions

We love hearing from you and seeing you connect with your fellow Challengers. Here are some guidelines to help you get the most out of the 30-day French Challenge and the fastest answers to any questions you may have.

• To ask a question or comment on a lesson: Use the comments section for the day’s lesson, and a member of our team will reply to it as soon as we can. This is also a great place to tell us what you learned, answer a question that was asked in the lesson, and support and encourage your fellow students. (Please keep commentary focused on lesson related topics.) Don’t be afraid to write in French, even if you make mistakes. ❤️
• To get technical or account support: Please email us at help@commeunefrancaise.com. We will not answer technical or account questions in the comments sections of lessons (it becomes messy and confusing for everyone!). 🛠️

I look forward to spending the next 30 days with you, helping you improve your French and learn more about French culture!

À bientôt !
