Your teaching method is wonderful. It's rare to find lessons on courtesy and politeness… Extraordinary work. Thank you so much, professor. (translated from French)
Speak French
with confidence
Teaching French is my job. It's also what I love most. I've spent the last few years helping adults around the world understand the French that people actually speak. I built these courses so you can hold real conversations with French speakers, even when they talk at full speed.

“Despite all my efforts, I felt like I would never understand native speakers when they spoke at their usual pace! Luckily, I met Elisabeth and Mathieu and discovered their 360 French Immersion program. It changed everything. I can finally understand and speak French without stress, even when I’m in France.”

I don't even know a word of French. I'm just a beginner and such videos are hugely effective and useful for listening practice. Thanks Elizabeth.
I was a student from the USA on a homestay with a French family. I was talking to my French maman, beginning with "Je veux…" And immediately she said "Je VEUX, dit le Roi". An unforgettable lesson!
02Our story
Our mission: to teach you the French people use in everyday conversation, not just the version found in textbooks.
I'm Elisabeth. I've been teaching French since 2019 and I run the YouTube channel "Learn French with Elisabeth - Hellofrench," now followed by more than 325,000 learners.
The channel and the school exist for one reason: to teach the French you actually hear on the street, at the bakery, in a café.
Mathieu is my husband. He builds the platform and the tools behind the courses.
03How these courses came to be
It began with the roadblocks my students kept hitting.
Since 2019 I've been teaching French to adults all over the world: on YouTube, in my online courses, and one-on-one over video.
My students come from very different backgrounds, yet the same handful of obstacles keeps coming up:
A one-on-one lesson with Daniel, one of my students from Atlanta
1
"I can follow slow French pretty well, but the moment someone speaks at normal speed, I lose the thread."
2
"I get lost in conversations because I don't know the everyday words and expressions people actually use."
3
"Why do French people say it this way? That's not what I learned in class."
I've heard these same things over and over.
So I started building online courses to help my students get past those roadblocks for good.
04A new method
Three connected stages that take you all the way to real conversations.
With the 360 Conversation Loop, you stop jumping between random exercises and speaking practice that has nothing to do with them. You follow one guided path I designed around everyday spoken French, where each stage prepares the next.
Get used to how French really sounds.
Sounds that used to blur together start turning into words.
Learn to say what you already understand.
This is where you stop just listening and start speaking.
Put your French to use in real conversations.
Nobody expects perfect French. You’re there to practice.
↻Then a new everyday situation, and you go around the loop again
