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.

FAQ
Here's what other Beginner French learners are asking
HOW IS THIS CLASS DIFFERENT THAN DUOLINGO?
Language-learning apps focus on vocabulary recognition. They do not focus on getting you conversational in French. Although you get practice repeating words on a screen, you don't practice speaking in real context.
In this course, you'll get a bonus 20 live opportunities to speak French and access to our private community to find a study partner and continue your French practice. You'll also get a bank of grammar lessons and activities that explain grammar rules, which Duolingo does not do.
WHEN ARE THE BONUS LIVE CLASSES AND OFFICE HOURS?
Live classes are a bonus and run for 10 weeks from the week of January 27-April 4, 2025.
All 20 live Conversation Classes and Office Hours are recorded so that you can watch the replays and practice on your own time, even if you can't attend live. These live classes are a bonus. As a core part of the course, you also have access to on demand video lessons and activities that will roll out each week for 10 weeks and to which you have lifetime access.

If you feel more advanced, check out The Intermediate French Class with Elevate French. You can transfer courses free of charge by February 3, 2025. Email [email protected] to transfer. Still not sure of your level? Book a chat with Dr. Nat to decide which course is right for you.
HOW MUCH TIME WILL I SPEND ON THIS COURSE?
To get the most out of the course, successful students carve out 4-5 hours per week for the 10 weeks of the course. You’ll use this time to watch the on demand lessons, complete practice activities, attend office hours, and practice your French in the weekly Conversation Class.
Sometimes life gets in the way, and that’s why we record the live lessons. You can go back and review them at your leisure during the 10 weeks of course. Plus, you’ll have lifetime access to the online portal to rewatch your on demand lessons and refresh your French with the activity banks.

Imagine yourself crushing your goals in French: ordering your favorite pastry and coffee, sitting at a cafe, watching the passersby, and understanding the main ideas of the conversations floating around you on the cobblestoned streets.
Imagine yourself speaking French with a strong and clear voice, without nerves.
Imagine what it would feel like to be able to hold daily conversations in French with your French co-workers and Francophone friends.
Imagine how you would feel if you heard a French song and you understood the French refrain. If you read a recipe in French and you thought “I've got this”!
I know you can meet your goals in French and I'm here to teach you step-by-step, to give you personalized feedback, and to give you the encouragement you need.
I'm Dr. Natalie Amgott. Just like you, I learned French from scratch as a non-native speaker. I began learning French at a young age and it was a coup de foudre (love at first sight). I continued learning French with 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 enabled me to communicate proficiently in both Québec French and French from France.
But it wasn’t always an easy path! For my first 5 years learning French, I got told that I spoke “like a textbook,” because I’d mainly learned from textbooks!
When I began teaching French 11 years ago, I realized I wanted to teach without emphasis on textbooks. I wanted to use teaching methods to help you speak French like real French speakers, without the awkwardness or formality of textbook French.
During my PhD in Second Language Acquisition & Teaching, I taught and researched technology-enhanced teaching practices and went on to establish my business, Elevate French, LLC. Now I weave the efficient and research-informed practices into Elevate French lessons to help you feel more confident, competent, and comprehensible when speaking French.
In Beginner French Foundations Reboot, I’ve laid out a 10 week path for you to follow. All you’ll need to do to see your French improve quickly is to set aside a few hours each week to engage with the on demand lessons and activities and to attend the live speaking practice.
I’ll be here, rooting for you every step of the way!
Allons-y, c'est parti - let's go!
