Why I created this

@elisabeth_hellofrench

When I started teaching French, I immediately noticed a problem: everyday French wasn't being taught.

Many students were stuck. They understood videos, podcasts, and had excellent listening skills. Yet they were missing the most important thing: they couldn't express themselves. Something was holding them back.

That's why I created a custom conversation course. Each session is built around what you actually need to say - not around a textbook. After every class, you receive a PDF sheet with your corrected mistakes, vocabulary, and real examples. These sheets add up and become your own personal French notebook, accessible for life.

Last year, I gave over 600 lessons to students from all over the world - the US, Brazil, South Korea, Australia. And what I'm most proud of is watching their progress over the months.

Today, many of them speak French with their family, their colleagues, friends, or even strangers - with complete confidence.

That's exactly what I want for you.

Elisabeth completely changed the way I approach French. I went from being scared to speak to having real conversations in just a few weeks. The personalized sheets are incredibly helpful.

Why you can't speak even though you understand everything

It's the sentence I hear the most: "Elisabeth, I understand everything, but when I have to speak, my mind goes blank."

And it's completely normal. It's not a lack of effort. Understanding and speaking are two entirely different skills.

When you listen, your brain recognizes. It sorts through sounds it has encountered before. It's passive. When you speak, it has to retrieve the right word, build the sentence and pronounce it - all in under two seconds. It's a completely different effort.

Your active vocabulary is tiny. You recognize thousands of words when you read or listen. But the number of words you can actually retrieve spontaneously in a conversation is a fraction of that. That's why you know the word but it won't come to you when you need it.

Stress blocks your brain - literally. When you're afraid of making a mistake in front of someone, your brain switches to alert mode. And the area that handles language production is the first to suffer. It's not a lack of confidence, it's neurology.

The problem is that most methods only train comprehension. You read, you listen, you do exercises. But nobody makes you speak. Result: you improve on paper, but you plateau in conversation.

Not with an app. Not with grammar drills. The only thing that works is speaking with someone who corrects you, guides you and pushes you - in a space where you're not afraid to make mistakes. That's exactly what my conversation coaching does.

MY EXPERIENCE

600 hours of lessons. 5,000 mistakes corrected. And it's just the beginning.

Last year, I spent 600 hours face to face with students from all over the world - Americans, Brazilians, Koreans, Germans. I corrected more than 5,000 mistakes by hand. Not textbook exercises - real sentences, spoken by real people, in real conversations.

What this experience taught me is that everyone stumbles on the same traps. The same prepositions, the same conjugations, the same calques from English. And that's exactly why my coaching works: I know your mistakes before you make them.

Frequently asked questions

What level do I need to start?

The coaching is designed for A2 to C1 levels. What matters is having enough basics to hold a conversation, even an imperfect one. That's exactly what we're here to improve.

How much does the coaching cost?

The price depends on the length of your program (1 to 6 months) and how often you meet. We discuss this during the discovery call. There's no commitment before that call.

How do the sessions happen?

Over video call (Zoom or Google Meet), from wherever you are. You pick your time slots based on your availability through a booking link.

What do I get after each session?

A revision sheet in PDF with: your mistakes corrected, the grammar rule explained, vocabulary to practice, and real examples. These sheets are yours forever.

How quickly will I see results?

It depends on your starting level and how often we meet. Most students notice a real difference in fluency after 4 to 6 sessions. But this coaching requires regular practice between sessions - there are no shortcuts.

Can my company pay for this?

Absolutely. We already work with corporate clients and can issue invoices in your company's name. For multiple seats (team or training department), contact us by email and we'll set up a tailored plan.
