WHEREVER YOU’RE STARTING
There’s a place for
your French here.
For curious adults who want to use French in real life — whether that means a trip, a move, work, or simply the joy of connecting.
“I know French. Then I freeze.”
You’ve studied. You recognize the words. Now let’s practice bringing them into conversation, without getting stuck on every mistake.
“I want to sound more like me.”
Explore nuance, expression, and pronunciation through the kinds of thoughtful conversations you enjoy having in your own language.
SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR PROGRESS. KIND TO THE PERSON MAKING IT.
Aim for excellence.
Forget perfection.
Good preparation. Thoughtful corrections. Real encouragement.
You get to make mistakes — and learn something from them.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
A real conversation.
A thoughtful lesson.
Your interests give us something to talk about. Structure helps you take something away.
We start with you.
Your level, your goals, your interests, and your pace shape the lessons. Travel plans, everyday life, music, films — bring what makes you curious.
We give your words a voice.
Conversation, listening, and pronunciation work help you become easier to understand and more comfortable joining in.
We make the language make sense.
Grammar, vocabulary, reading, and carefully chosen materials support what you’re learning. Clear explanations help the pieces fit together.
We keep it human.
Expect patience, humor, honest feedback, and encouragement. There’s room for serious learning and a good laugh in the same lesson.

MEET YOUR TEACHER
Enchantée.
I’m Dorée.
Language is a way into someone else’s world. That’s what I love about teaching it.
I’m a native French speaker, a singer, and a teacher. Music, culture, and curiosity are part of what I bring to our conversations.
I take time to understand how you learn and what you want to do with French. We’ll work with useful materials, clear explanations, and subjects you actually want to talk about.
You bring your curiosity. I’ll bring preparation, patience, and the encouragement to keep going.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
Let’s clear
those up.
Can I start if I don’t speak any French?
Yes. We can start from the beginning, with clear explanations and manageable steps. English explanations are available when you need them.
I’ve studied before, but I’m afraid to speak.
You’re welcome here. We’ll practice conversation at your level, work on pronunciation, and use corrections to help you move forward. Mistakes are part of learning.
Is it just conversation, or is there structure?
Both. Conversation gives the language a purpose. Grammar, vocabulary, reading, pronunciation, and selected materials give your practice direction.
Can we focus on travel, work, or French culture?
Yes. Your goals and interests help shape the lessons, from everyday situations and travel to work-related language, music, and more in-depth discussions.
How much do lessons cost, and how do I book?
Your first meeting is a free, 45-minute conversation with no obligation to book lessons. We’ll discuss your goals, lesson options, and pricing. Choose an available time on Calendly.
How quickly will I progress?
That depends on your starting point, goals, and practice. We’ll work at a pace that supports you. There is no one-size-fits-all timeline or promise of instant fluency.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL YOU’RE READY.
Your next conversation
starts with a first step.
