Don't Go It Alone. Join A REAL Community To Improve Your French Speaking
If you are trying to improve your French speaking, and feel like you're not seeing progress just talking to yourself, you need to join a community of likeminded learners. Hold REAL conversations with REAL people to get REAL results.
The best way to Speak French is to practise with REAL people
Apps, vocab lists and text books will never improve your speaking skills like real conversations. Nor will taking exams where the focus is on passing specific criteria rather than on realistic communication.
That's why I created Conversation Café, where people come together in a global community, and practise their spontaneous French, LIVE every week.! Make it REAL - Rewarding, Effective, Adventurous Learning.
Studying French is different from having conversations in French
Somehow we feel held back and that can totally throw our confidence confidence. Even with the best intentions, our French learning journey can be peppered with self doubt, fear of failure and fear of what other people would think of us when we try to speak French.
Sometimes, when we I try to have a conversation, we stumble over phrases, spend ages trying to understand what the other person is saying and then forget what we were going to say in the first place!
And then, ages after, we come up with something that belonged to part of the conversation that had already passed by. It can be so emotionally draining!
There is a way to speak French in no time at all
- We don't want conversations where our heart is beating too fast, and our palms are all sweaty. We also don't want to run through what we could have said better, had we not been so stressed out.
-
There is a way where we can take the reins of the conversations to enjoy them, to learn from them and feel like we are a productive part.
-
We want people to see us coming and not feel obliged to talk with us. We want people to invite us, just because we had something interesting to say, and we want to find out more about the people around us so we can connect with them. In French!

It was over the experience of trying to learn Arabic, that I realised that we needed more than just the textbook. I had the knowledge in my head, but it was only good for exercises in the classroom. That just didn’t seem right.
-
So I got creative and worked out just what I needed to get going and to keep the conversations in the target language. So when my fellow students were struggling to pronounce the words, I was already out there, finding people to practise more flowing conversations with that could build up to providing me with more realistic words I needed to connect with people.

I will never forget those wonderful moments in Jordan as I built up the essential language to have confident conversations with relatively little vocabulary and grammar. It was hugely satisfying and totally changed the way I had my conversations in French!
And this is why I created my group membership: the 'Conversation Café'.

An increase in French speaking competency
This program will focus on the 20% of the vocabulary that drives 80% of all French conversations, so you can apply what you learn to quickly gain speaking confidence and competence.
