My French workbook
90 days to get your French back on track.
For three months, you'll follow a guided 15-minute exercise every day. It combines listening, vocabulary, corrected writing, and a short game built around one everyday French topic.
You want to learn French, and 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 learned some French at 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 get back into it, except every method you find feels intimidating. You want a gentle way back in, without having to tackle a 400-page grammar book.
You've tried Duolingo, but you're not learning anything you can actually use.
You know the colours, the animals, the days of the week. But when you want to say something real, talk about your day, or write a message to a French friend, the words aren't there. The exercises feel abstract, and nothing really sticks.
You start every method, and finish none of them.
You open an app, keep going for three days, then stop. You download an 80-page PDF and never come back to it. What you need is a format that is short enough and varied enough to help you stick with it for three months.
A glimpse of what is waiting for you.
Not just colourful idioms. Also the small turns of phrase French people use all the time, the kind that make the difference between correct French and French that sounds right.
15 minutes, 5 guided exercises, one expression that sticks.
Not just one word a day to memorise on your own. A complete short session that has you listen, repeat, write and play with today's expression, so that it actually stays.
A living expression, not a dictionary entry.
Each day you discover 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 (x0.7)
- Plain definition and a real-life example
- You 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 that uses the expression. This is the exact moment where it goes from “I've seen it” to “I know how to use it”.
- A real situation, not a fill-in-the-blanks
- Instant validation on whether you used the expression well
- Two minutes flat, fits straight into your evening routine
A story to tell, and your mistakes corrected.
The heart of the session: an open prompt that has you write 100 to 150 words in French. No constraint on the form, you tell, you give your view, you make things up. And behind it, the correction is serious (we show you how just below).
- Prompts designed so you reuse the expression naturally
- “Need help?” hint when you're stuck on what to write
- Word and character counter so you can size your answer
Your own workbook, on top of today's expression.
During the session, you note other words or phrases you want to remember, and you jot down what you learned today. The vocabulary you save goes straight into your review flashcards.
- Up to ten words or expressions to remember each day
- Free notes: “what I understood today”
- Tick the extra skills you practised (reading, speaking...)
To finish: a small game, because that's what makes you come back tomorrow.
A daily French Wordle linked to today's expression. Not a gimmick: it's the thing that turns a learning chore into a habit you actually want to continue tomorrow. With a hint if you get stuck.
- One mystery word per day, tied to the expression
- A hint available when you need one
- The thing that makes you say “one more minute”
Your texts are really corrected. Not just graded by an automatic score.
When you write, we show you what's off, we give you what a French person would have written, and we explain why in plain French. Exactly what a teacher who actually takes the time to read your text would do.
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 real mistakes
Grammar, conjugation, prepositions, agreements: each error is spotted and corrected, not just flagged.
The natural phrasing
We give you what a French person would have said, not just “right” or “wrong”.
The why
A short explanation in plain French, so that you understand the rule, not just memorise it.
How your French changes, from the first week to the last.
You get the habit of writing in French back.
In the first weeks, you restart a habit that had been lost. Your sentences are short, sometimes clumsy, and that's exactly what you want. The corrections you get focus on agreements and small prepositions that had been off for a long time.
Your sentences get longer, your hesitations shrink.
By the second month, you feel yourself writing faster and more freely. The expressions from the first weeks come back into your own sentences, without you having to think about it. You start catching some of your own mistakes before you submit them.
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 translating from English. Your messages, your emails, even your spoken replies feel more fluid and more natural.
Eleven bonuses you unlock as you go through the 90 days.

- David, finished his workbook in JuneThe fifteen-minute format changes everything. I never had to wonder what to do or where to start. I open it, I do the exercise, I close it, and I move on with my day. Three months in, I can clearly see the difference in the way I write my messages.
I was nervous about getting back into it after twenty years away from French. The workbook was exactly what I needed: gentle, short, with clear explanations. I never felt out of my depth, and I made it through the 90 days without skipping a single one.
I had tried two or three apps before, and I never lasted more than a couple of weeks. What works for me here is that every day is different: one day I listen, one day I write a little story, one day I play a Wordle. So I never get bored, and I keep going.

The workbook isn't for everyone, and that's fine.
The workbook is deliberately simpler than my other courses. If you're looking for something more advanced, I'd rather tell you straight away.
The workbook is for you if...
You're starting French or coming back to it- You're a beginner in French, or you did some French a long time ago and you want to ease back into it gently.
- You want a short, accessible routine rather than an intimidating 400-page method.
- 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 judging you.
The workbook isn't for you if...
Not everyone needs the same level- You're already comfortable in French and you want to understand fast spoken French from natives.
→ Look at 360 French Immersion instead - You're preparing for a specific exam (DELF, TEF, TCF) - that's not what the workbook is for.
- You want live video classes with a teacher in real time, not a routine on your own.
→ Look at one-to-one coaching
A few things you might be wondering.
What if I miss a day, or even several?
No problem at all. The workbook isn't an app that guilts you when you give up for 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 chaining perfect days.
What level of French do I need to start?
The workbook is made for beginners and rusty French students. If you can read the French alphabet and recognise 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 practised in years.
Who corrects my sentences?
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.
Is this a subscription, or a one-time purchase?
A one-time purchase, for life. You pay 79€ once and the workbook is yours forever. No automatic renewal, no card we keep charging, no notification guilting you when you haven't opened the app for two weeks.
And if the workbook isn't right for me in the end?
You have a full fifteen days to try it. If you see it isn't the right resource for you, send me an email and I'll refund you completely, no need to justify yourself. I'd rather this workbook be in the hands of people who will actually use it.
How long does each exercise really take?
Between twelve and eighteen minutes, depending on whether you want to linger on 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.
Three months from today, that takes you to in 90 days?
If you start your notebook today, you finish your last day three months from now. 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 really want to see your French move by then.
