15 min/day for 90 days.- ElisabethOne guided exercise a day, for 90 days.
For three months, you do one guided 15-minute exercise every day. It pulls together listening, vocabulary, writing with feedback and a short game - all built around one everyday French topic.
You want to learn French, but you don't know where to start.
If you see yourself in one or more of these, you're not alone. That's exactly why I created this workbook.
You took some French in school and most of it has faded.
You remember a few words and a few expressions, but it all feels fuzzy now. You know you could pick it back up - except every program you find feels intimidating. What you want is an easy way back in, without having to crack open a 400-page grammar book.
You've tried Duolingo and you're not really learning anything you can use.
You know the colors, the animals, the days of the week. But when you want to say something real - talk about your day, write a message to a French friend - the words just aren't there. The exercises feel abstract and nothing really sticks.
You've started plenty of courses and finished none of them.
You open an app, keep at it for three days, then drop off. You download an 80-page PDF and never come back to it. What you need is a format that's short enough and varied enough to keep you going for three months.
See how it works. 2 days on us.
Day 1 walks you through the format. Day 8 shows you where a week of practice gets you. No credit card, no strings attached.
« Être au courant »
to be in the know · to be informed
« Être mal barré »
to be in a tough spot · to be in over your head
Not convinced? You can browse both days without creating an account. To get Jean to correct your writing, all you need is a free account (one free correction a week).
A look at what's waiting for you.
You'll find a few colorful idioms, sure - but mostly the small turns of phrase French people use all the time, the kind that make the difference between correct French and French that actually sounds right.
15 minutes, 5 guided exercises, one expression that sticks.
Rather than one word a day to memorize on your own, you get a short, complete session that walks you through listening, repeating, writing and playing with today's expression - so it actually stays with you.
A living expression, not a dictionary entry.
Each day you meet an expression French people actually use - with audio, phonetics, register (informal, formal...) and an example in context that shows you when to use it.
- Native audio at normal or slowed speed (0.7x)
- A definition in simple French and a real-life example
- Save the expression to revisit later
You build it in your own words.
We give you a concrete situation and you write a short sentence using the expression. This is the exact moment it goes from "I've seen it" to "I know how to use it."
- A real situation, not a fill-in-the-blank
- Instant feedback on whether you used the expression right
- Two minutes flat - fits right into your evening routine
A story to tell, with detailed feedback on every mistake.
The heart of the session: an open prompt asking you to write 100 to 150 words in French. No constraints on the form - tell a story, share your view, make something up. And the feedback is thorough - we walk you through it just below.
- Prompts designed to get you reusing the expression naturally
- A “Need help?” hint when you're not sure what to write
- Word and character counter so you can gauge your answer
Your own personal notebook, alongside today's expression.
During the session, you can jot down other words or phrases you want to remember, along with what you took away that day. The vocabulary you save goes straight into your review flashcards.
- Up to ten words or expressions to remember each day
- Free-form notes: “what clicked for me today”
- Check off the extra skills you practiced (reading, speaking...)
To finish: a little game, because that's what makes you come back tomorrow.
A daily French Wordle tied to today's expression. It's no gimmick - that little game is what turns a learning chore into a habit you actually want to keep up tomorrow. And there's a hint if you get stuck.
- One mystery word a day, tied to the expression
- A hint when you need one
- The little thing that makes you say “one more minute”
15-day guarantee, no questions asked
Your writing gets detailed feedback. Not just an automatic score.
When you write, Jean shows you what's off, gives you what a French person would actually have written and explains why in simple French. It's what a teacher would do after reading your work closely.
Quand j'avais 16 ans, j'ai séché les cours un fois pour aller à le cinéma avec ma copine. Mes parents étaient très fâché quand ils savaient, mais c'était une bonne journée.

Your mistakes, explained
Grammar, conjugation, prepositions, agreement - every error is spotted and corrected, not just flagged.
The natural phrasing
We show you what a French person would have said, not just “right” or “wrong”.
The why
A short explanation in simple French, so you understand the rule instead of just memorizing it.
How your French changes, from the first week to the last.
You get back into the habit of writing in French.
In the first weeks, you rebuild a habit that had gone dormant. Your sentences are short, sometimes clumsy. And that's exactly what you want. The corrections zero in on the agreement errors and small prepositions that have been tripping you up for years.
Your sentences get longer, your hesitations shrink.
By the second month, you can feel yourself writing faster and more freely. The expressions from the first weeks start showing up in your own sentences without you having to think about it. You start catching some of your own mistakes before you hit submit.
You write naturally, with phrases that sound right.
By the end of the 90 days, you have 90 everyday expressions in your head and you use them without stopping to translate first. Your messages, your emails, even your spoken replies feel more fluid and more natural.
Eleven bonuses you unlock as you move through the 90 days.

Day 77"The best investment I've made in my French."
- NicholasMy French workbook has become a kind of personal diary. My French is still A2, but I'm proud of how far I've come.
I love the way it's structured - the workbook is well organized and easy to follow. The best investment I've made in my French.
The workbook isn't for everyone. And that's okay.
The workbook is built around a daily writing and expression routine, not the speaking-focused immersion of my other courses. If you're looking for something else, I'd rather tell you up front.
The workbook is for you if...
You're starting French or coming back to it- You're a beginner in French, or you studied French a long time ago and you want to ease back into it.
- You want a short, doable routine instead of an intimidating 400-page textbook.
- You want to learn words and expressions that are concrete and usable every day, not abstract vocabulary.
- You want to write your first sentences with someone who corrects you without making you feel judged.
The workbook isn't for you if...
If you need something more advanced, better to say so up front- You're already comfortable in French and you want to understand fast spoken French from native speakers.
→ Check out 360 French Immersion instead - You're preparing for a specific exam (DELF, TEF, TCF) - that's not what the workbook is built for.
- You want live video classes with a teacher in real time, not a routine you do on your own.

A few things you might be wondering.
What if I miss a day, or even several?
No problem at all. This isn't the kind of app that guilts you when you skip a few days. You pick up where you left off, at your own pace. And you finish when you finish. What matters is coming back, not stringing together perfect days.
What level of French do I need to start?
The workbook is built for beginners and people picking French back up after a long break. If you can read the French alphabet and recognize a few basic words, you have what you need. The first days start very simply, with everyday themes you can handle even if you haven't practiced in years.
Who corrects my sentences?
Jean does - a correction system trained specifically on the mistakes beginners most often make in French. You get the corrected sentence and a detailed explanation right below it. It's not an automatic score - it's real feedback that tells you why something doesn't work.
How is this different from 360 French Immersion?
360 is built to help you understand real spoken French: dialogues between native speakers, pronunciation, the rhythm of the spoken language. The workbook is built to get you writing and building expression reflexes, fifteen minutes a day, starting simple. Many students do both, in any order: one trains your ear, the other your pen.
Is this a subscription, or a one-time purchase?
A one-time purchase, for life. You pay $89 once and the workbook is yours forever. No auto-renewal, no card we keep charging, no notification guilting you when you haven't opened the app in two weeks.
What if the workbook isn't right for me in the end?
You have a full fifteen days to try it. If you decide it isn't the right resource for you, send me an email and I'll refund you in full - no explanation needed. I'd rather this workbook end up in the hands of people who'll actually use it.
How long does each exercise really take?
Between twelve and eighteen minutes, depending on whether you want to sit with the cultural note, listen to the audio a few more times, or push your writing a little further. Fifteen minutes a day is a real promise, not a marketing line.
your French could already feel different.
If you start your workbook today, your last day will be here before you know it. Three months go by quickly, especially when each day only asks you for fifteen minutes. The question isn't whether you can do it. It's whether you're ready to start making steady progress again.
