Teaching French is my job, and what I love most. For several years, I've been helping adults around the world understand the French people actually speak. I created these courses to help you have real conversations with French speakers, even at full speed.
Before you pay anything, watch one of my videos. Five minutes is enough to tell if my approach is right for you.
Our story
I'm Elisabeth. I've been teaching French for six years, and I run the YouTube channel "Learn French with Elisabeth - Hellofrench", now followed by more than 320,000 learners.
My channel and my 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, and he builds the platform and tools behind the courses.
Everything you see here, we built ourselves, from our home just outside Marseille: the dialogues, the method, the exercises, the app, the corrections, every update. All of it.
"Engineers, retirees, parents, expats. Very different lives, and yet the same wall the moment they try to speak real French. For many of them, our courses were where things finally clicked."- Elisabeth & Mathieu
For six years I've been teaching French to adults all over the world: on YouTube, in my online courses, and in one-on-one video lessons.
Their backgrounds vary widely, and yet the same handful of obstacles keeps coming up:
"I can follow slow French quite well, but the moment someone speaks at normal speed, I lose the thread."
"I drop out of conversations because I don't know the everyday words and expressions people actually use."
"Why do French people phrase it this way? It's not what I learned in class."
So I began building online courses to help my students get past those roadblocks for good.
A one-on-one lesson with Daniel, one of my students from Atlanta
For intermediate learners ready to move from studying to speaking.
"My flagship course. The one I would recommend to a friend who has finished studying French and wants to start using it."
For travellers who want to speak French from the moment they arrive.
"For the traveller who wants to speak French from day one of their trip."
To start or come back to French at your own pace.
"For learners who want a gentle way back into French. One guided exercise and one new expression a day, for 90 days."
A 1-on-1 session to unlock your speaking. Free conversation, real-time corrections, and a personal PDF review sheet after every session.
Votre méthode d'enseignement est magnifique, c'est rare de trouver des leçons de courtoisie et politesse… extraordinaire travail, je vous remercie très infiniment professeur.
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!
J'ai adoré cette conversation, merci beaucoup pour nous partager ! J'en voudrais plus.
Salut Elisabeth, ce format est excellent, mes compliments, la meilleure façon d'apprendre le français, fais-en plus et merci !
Cette vidéo était vraiment super ! Vraiment utile pour ceux — comme moi — qui n'ont pas assez d'occasion de parler le vrai français.
J'adore votre chaîne. Vous deux êtes adorables… la façon dont Mathieu tente de clarifier les dilemmes en vous posant des questions 😂
Please keep doing this videos, you always help me to improve my French language, you are the only one on YouTube that I can learn from.
Elisabeth, vous êtes un couple adorable, très sincère et empathique, vous êtes complémentaires. Merci, vous faites un travail merveilleux ! 🤍
At 62, I learned I'd be working in French-speaking Africa. After 20 min on the phone with Elisabeth, we built a program. Elisabeth and Mathieu are my heroes, I feel confident to speak.
The lessons take French learning to a higher level. The recaps with detailed lists of mistakes, corrections and explanations are of high quality.
In 3 months with Elisabeth and Mathieu, I've made enormous progress in expressing myself. They're warm and easy to talk to.
I chose HelloFrench's personal coaching to break through to the next level orally. Sessions are playful, stress-free, perfectly suited to my level.
I took one-on-one lessons for nearly 6 months with HelloFrench. One of the best decisions I've made. My lessons are engaging, high quality and tailored to my level.
J'ai démarré à B1 après 1 an de Duolingo. Un an dans 360, j'ai passé le DELF B2 avec 85/100 et je prépare le C1.
I've tried Babbel, Busuu, Pimsleur. This is the first one where I actually hear how French people really talk. Dialogue 42 blew my mind.
Le karaoké mot à mot, c'est addictif. Je chope les liaisons sans y penser maintenant, même en écoutant France Inter.
Dictation mode is brutal - and that's exactly what I needed. My listening jumped two levels in six weeks, no exaggeration.
Depuis que j'ai amélioré mon français avec ce cours, je ne sous-titre plus les films et séries.
My level of French, my pronunciation, my accent and my vocabulary have all improved. I cannot recommend it enough.
The course is amazing for training my ear in French. The word-by-word karaoke is what really did it for me.
These conversations are hyper-realistic. Hearing a real conversation is so good!
« 60 conversations du quotidien » est le meilleur rapport qualité-prix que j'ai eu pour apprendre le français.
This course with everyday dialogues is wonderful. I've learned so many new words and expressions for daily life.
Ces dialogues sur les transports sont utiles. Je « trichais » en cliquant anglais. Maintenant, j'essaie en français !
À 69 ans, j'avais hésité à choisir ton cours. Pour moi, ton cours est un morceau de joie de vivre. Je le recommande à tous ceux qui veulent parler français, jeunes ou vieux.
