What Elevate French students are saying
Wanda
100% recommended! The course definitely took me out of my comfort zone and gave me that push to keep going in my journey to becoming proficient in speaking French.
Crissy
I'm an anxious introvert and Dr. Nat was still able to make me feel comfortable within the class. I really appreciated that Dr. Nat is a native English speaker who's attained fluency in French. She can relate to the common issues that English speakers struggle with, whether it's pronunciation or grammar structures. The course is well organized, the live classes were incredibly helpful, and my French has improved.
Debra
The course gave structure to the process of language-learning, which is the most important thing for me. Scheduled meetings and weekly goals were instrumental in just “getting down to business.” Also, the friendly and supportive group of like-minded people enabled me to practice my spoken French without any fear of judgement.

Bonjour, moi c'est Natalie!
I began learning French at a young age and it was a coup de foudre (love at first sight). I went on to earn a B.A. in French and an M.A. in French linguistics. While studying in Québec and teaching French in Paris, I lived immersion experiences that helped me to communicate proficiently in both Québec French and French from France.
When I began teaching French 12 years ago, I realized I wanted to teach French the way it's actually spoken, not with the formality or awkwardness of a textbook.
During my PhD in Second Language Acquisition & Teaching, I learned to develop courses for adults that help you feel more confident, competent, and comprehensible when speaking French.
In Beginner French Foundations Reboot, all you’ll need to do is to set aside a few hours each week to engage with the step-by-step lesson path I have laid out for you.
I’ll be here, rooting for you every step of the way!
Allons-y, c'est parti - let's go!
