A note from Dr. Natalie
I know what it’s like to feel nervous speaking French and worried you’ll sound too formal or like a robot. When I first started learning French, I faced the same challenges—my French was correct but stiff, and I struggled to follow conversations with native speakers.
It wasn’t until university, when I began to speak French on a daily basis, that I realized the key to speaking naturally is understanding the vocabulary and expressions that real people use every day—especially slang. And the good news?
You don’t need to pack your bags and move to France or Québec to learn how to fit in during everyday French conversations.
With over 11 years of experience teaching French, plus a BA and MA in French, and PhD in language teaching, I’ve helped learners like you break out of the formal French bubble and feel more at ease when they speak.
Whether you’re learning French for travel, work, or just because you love it, I’m here to make it fun and doable.
In this live training, I’ll show you exactly how to move past sounding like a textbook and finally feel confident understanding and speaking French in real contexts. You’ve got everything it takes to make progress, and I can’t wait to help you get started!
À tantôt, mon pote!
