“I dream of sitting on a café terrasse in Paris or Montréal and eavesdropping on the French swirling around me.”

Ah, the quintessential French experience! Before you can lean back and eavesdrop in that wicker terrasse chair, learn to order your coffee or tea like a local.

“I'm a bit rusty with my high school or college French, but I've always wanted to pick it back up again.”

It’s never too late to pick French back up again! Studies show that learning another language simulates your brain, improves your memory, and even improves your self-esteem. 

“I'm an intermediate learner and I freeze up in spoken interactions. I want to feel more like myself when I speak French.”

Practicing your French in the welcoming environment of the masterclass will help you get outside your comfort zone and prepare you to express your personality more en français! 

“I want to feel breezy and confident speaking French. I'm tired of feeling embarrassed when I travel to French-speaking countries.”

This one masterclass will give you the phrases you need to conduct confident service encounters during your next trip to France or Québec.

“I've only studied French with apps, but I want to learn enough to get around on my next trip.”

Bravo for getting a jumpstart on your learning! In this masterclass, you’ll get live conversation practice with French how it is actually spoken! You'll also get to test out your French before your next trip.

A note from Dr. Nat

Your guide to improving 

French conversation

before your next trip 

 

I kept it a secret for a long time. I had been studying French for 5 years. But when it came time to order a coffee in Paris, I still felt so stressed. All I wanted was a drip coffee, but I always had a hard time getting the equivalent. So I would order “un café” and begrudgingly try to love the espresso I got served.

After I got back from that trip, I swore I would start being myself in French. I was tired of drinking beverages I didn’t like and making adjustments to my personality because I didn’t speak the French of my dreams. 

I knew I wanted to help other adults express themselves clearly and confidently in French. This led me to pursue my Bachelor and Master’s in French and PhD in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching so that I could help you speak French the way that locals actually speak in both France and Québec. 

It’s my mission to bring you step-by-step courses to improve your spoken French and your confidence when speaking. 

This masterclass is for you if you want to speak French with ease and impress your friends when you order in French for the whole table! 

Your first step to navigating service encounters in French is available to you right now. 

Whether you're feeling rusty with your high school French, or you’re coming for a review, you’re in the right place.

I can’t wait to help you on your French journey!

À bientôt,

Dr. Nat
