Founding Cohort · Coming Soon

The course for adults who are done being talked down to.

A structured, psychology-backed French program, built by a native teacher who respects how your adult brain actually learns. The first cohort opens to 30 students only, in September 2026.

You're on the list.

You'll hear from me before anyone else when the cohort opens. In the meantime, check your inbox for a welcome message from [email protected].

A small cohort, an honest timeline, and a founder who shows up.

The first 30 students to join are the pilot. They get the course at its founding price, early access to the method, and a direct line to me throughout the first six months. A second cohort opens in December 2026 at a smaller discount. After that, full prices apply from mid-February 2027 onwards.

Cohort opens for 7 to 10 days

Waitlist members get the opening notice first, with 48 hours of priority access. Three packs available. Once the 30 places are filled, enrollment closes.

03 · ROLLING DELIVERY

Modules delivered progressively

Module 1 is available immediately at enrollment. New modules released every three weeks after that, matched to the pace you can realistically absorb. All live sessions included.

Six principles your apps can't give you.

Each is grounded in research on how adult memory and motivation actually function. Together, they explain why this course works when almost nothing else does.

01

Semantic association, not translation

You learn arbre by pairing it directly with an image of a tree, not with the English word. Your brain builds a French neural pathway from day one, instead of a translation habit that will sabotage you forever.

02

Thirty focused minutes, spaced properly

You don't need two hours a day. You need thirty dense minutes, followed by structured rest that lets memory consolidate. The course teaches you the rhythm, not just the material.

03

One brick per lesson

Each module adds a single element that slots into what you already have. No overwhelm. Across twenty lessons, the compound effect is enormous, and you barely notice it happening.

04

The metacognitive layer

You don't just learn French. You learn how to learn it, permanently. When you finish the course, you have a toolkit that works for any language, any skill, for the rest of your life.

05

Real production, not tapping

By module five, you describe images in French. By module seven, you write about your own life. You produce language, you don't just recognize it, which is the difference between a quiz score and a conversation.

06

A teacher, not an algorithm

Every lesson was designed, taught, and refined by a native speaker with a Master's in psychology. No AI writing prompts, no generic curriculum. A real method, built for adults who want to actually speak.

Eight modules, from your first letter to real conversation.

Each module is built on the previous one. By the end, you can describe your world, write about your life, and hold a real exchange. Click any module to see what's inside.

1
The French Alphabet — Semantic Foundations
3–4 lessons
+
Every letter paired with a masculine and feminine word through images, not translation. "A comme un Arbre, A comme une Arche." You absorb gender naturally from day one.
2
Pronunciation — Sound Like a Native
3–4 lessons
+
Slow tempo, heavy repetition, guided practice. You'll learn to produce every French sound correctly. We're training your mouth, not just your memory.
3
Le Présent — Structure, Être and Avoir, Group 1 Verbs
6–8 lessons
+
Structure: Subject + Verb + Complement. Être and avoir as your first two verbs. The 12 most-used Group 1 verbs, fully conjugated, in real sentences.
4
Le Présent — Groups 2 & 3 · All Irregulars
6–8 lessons
+
Group 2: straightforward. Group 3: organized chaos, verbs in -DRE, -IR, -TRE, and irregulars. Each category has dedicated exercises. Ends with 100 fill-in-the-blank sentences to build automatism.
5
Describing the World — Kitchen, Bathroom, Living Room
4–5 lessons
+
Spatial vocabulary (devant, derrière, à côté de…) paired with semantic association and rich images. You describe a kitchen scene zone by zone, then bathroom, then living room. Articles and adjectives explained through real usage.
6
Interacting With the World — Actions & Prepositions
4–5 lessons
+
Now you DO things in each room. "Je coupe une pomme puis je mange un gâteau." Prepositions, reflexive verbs, demonstratives. French becomes alive.
7
Real-Life Practice — Your Daily Journal
2 lessons
+
The ultimate exercise: every day, write what you did in French. It forces you to use everything. Negation, connectors, pronominal verbs. This is where everything clicks.
8
Your Progress — Before & After
1 lesson
+
See how far you've come. Review your first exercises against your latest writing. Guidance on what to study next, and an invitation to keep going.

Monthly live sessions, in French, with me.

Every cohort member gets access to my monthly live group sessions. Real-time conversation, real questions, real feedback. You hear French, you speak French, you meet other learners at your level.

Structured by level. Attendance capped. Replayable.

Two monthly sessions, organized by level so you get feedback calibrated to where you are. Sessions are capped so everyone gets to speak. Missed one? Replays are available inside the course.

As the community grows, sessions move to twice-monthly. The live layer is how you keep the language alive between your own practice, without the loneliness of most self-paced courses.

What I will not promise you.

I will not promise fluency in three months. Fluency is not a calendar event. What I can tell you, honestly, is that I have beginners who started at zero and hold real conversations with me in French six months later. Not restaurant phrases. Actual exchanges about their work and their lives. That result is reachable through this course, but it depends on you showing up consistently and trusting the method.

I will not gamify your learning. There are no streaks. No badges. No notifications designed to trigger your loss aversion at 11:47 p.m. You are an adult. You came here because something in you wanted a serious path, not a toy.

I will not open the doors whenever I feel like it. When the founding cohort fills up in September, enrollment closes until December 2026, when a second cohort opens at a smaller discount. After that, full prices apply from mid-February 2027. This is not artificial scarcity. It's the reality of running a cohort-based program where quality matters and my personal involvement is part of what you pay for.

I will not tell you this is for everyone. If you want a game, this isn't it. If you want a quick hack, this isn't it. If you want a method grounded in how the adult brain actually learns, taught by someone who respects your intelligence, you're in the right place.

Before you join the waitlist.

Nothing. The waitlist is just an email list. You'll be the first to hear when the cohort opens, with priority access and founding cohort pricing. You can unsubscribe at any moment. No payment is taken, no obligation is created.
Because the first cohort is the pilot. I'm personally involved with every student, collecting feedback, refining the delivery, and making sure the course actually works in the wild. At 30 students, I can keep that quality high. The December 2026 cohort will serve more students, with the benefit of refinements from the founding cohort.
September 2026. The exact date will be announced to waitlist members two weeks in advance. Waitlist members get 48 hours of priority access before the public announcement, which in practice means the cohort is often filled before it's announced anywhere else.
Three packs will be available, ranging from a self-study option to a deep six-month program with multiple 1:1 sessions with me. Founding cohort pricing is roughly 35% below the September reopening prices. Exact figures are shared with waitlist members first, when the cohort opens.
Yes. The course starts from absolute zero. You don't need to know a single word of French. The first module teaches the alphabet through images, and every lesson builds on the previous one. The course is designed for A0–A1 learners to reach solid A2 / early B1 by the end.
At 30 focused minutes per day, five days a week, most students complete the course in 4 to 6 months. Some go faster, some take longer. You have lifetime access, so the pace is yours. What matters is consistency, not speed.
A second cohort opens in December 2026 at a smaller discount (about 15% off, framed as a counter-cultural holiday offer — most courses raise prices for the holidays, this one lowers them). After that, full prices apply from mid-February 2027 onwards. If you miss September and still want to join, you'll automatically be on the list for the December cohort.
Take the free placement quiz to see where you stand. Read the manifesto if you haven't already. And try the Training page for some interactive French exercises. If you want to start working with me personally right now, you can also book a 1:1 session through the Training page, no waitlist required.

Your next attempt doesn't have to look like the last ones.

This time, start with a real method, a teacher who respects how you learn, and a path that doesn't evaporate the moment you stop paying attention.
