INTRODUCING: SPOKEN FRENCH ESSENTIALS
Your introduction to real, authentic spoken French
You've never learned spoken French like this before!
Created by popular demand from the Comme une Française community, “Spoken French Essentials” covers the spoken French foundations that every French learner needs, no matter how long they’ve been studying French.
Spoken French is very, very different from the French that you learned from those dusty high school and college textbooks many years ago. This program introduces you to those key differences in a clear, easy-to-understand way.
You can think of it as a “fresh start” in your French learning journey, so that you can “forget” your wrong assumptions about spoken French and learn to speak it the right way.
I created this program to give you a comfortable, engaging, and fun way to refresh your spoken French. In just 10 minutes a day for 30 days, I can promise you’re going to learn modern spoken French that STICKS… and it won’t feel like schoolwork.
This program isn’t just “French 101”. It focuses on the foundations of speaking like a true, authentic French speaker. With “Spoken French Essentials”, you will:
- Learn the correct pronunciation when saying even simple, common sentences, so you sound less like a learner and more like a confident French speaker;
- Avoid the most common spoken French mistakes by learning the spoken French fundamentals your high school textbooks never taught you
- Learn how to express yourself in French the way real French people do
- Become more confident with your French, and actually want to use it!
- Have an easy-to-follow, step-by-step learning plan, with lessons that you can complete in just 10 fun minutes a day
10 lessons to take you from being too nervous to use your French, to having basic conversations with complete confidence!

HERE'S WHAT OUR 6,700+ COMME UNE FRANÇAISE ALUMNI COMMUNITY HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS PROGRAM:
United States
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.
United States
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.
Vancouver, Canada
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.
United States
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.
Spoken French Essentials is for you if...
- You learned French a long time ago in high school or college and have barely used it since. Maybe you’ve read some books or watched French movies, but you feel awkward, embarrassed, or nervous when it comes to speaking.
- Your spoken French feels very rusty, and you wouldn’t feel comfortable ordering a meal in French or asking for directions, for example.
- You’re ready to reconnect with your youthful passion for French by not just learning French, but learning how to actually speak it in a modern, everyday way.
- You wouldn’t necessarily consider yourself a “complete beginner” in French, but you know you’d have trouble following a French conversation or confidently speaking to a French person.
- Or maybe you ARE a complete beginner who has never learned French before, and you’d like to focus on the right things so that you can start speaking and using your French right away!
