What’s new in The France Travel Kit
More than a phrasebook.
Prepare for real conversations before you have them in France. You’ll know how to start, understand the likely reply, and answer in your own words.
The Basics
Seven short lessons help you build simple, correct sentences of your own.
Jean, Elisabeth’s AI assistant
Ask Jean to explain a phrase or help you say what you mean, right inside the lesson.
Open Practice
Say it your way. The character responds to what you actually say.
Emergency mode
Keep essential phrases, emergency numbers, and your personal details handy, even without a signal.
Why travel French still feels hard
You don’t need “more French.” You need the right reflexes when it counts.
A general language app can teach you hundreds of unrelated words. The real challenge in France is knowing what to say when someone answers you.
You freeze at the counter.
You knew the sentence at home. With someone waiting, the words suddenly disappear.
They answer, and you lose the thread.
You prepared what to say, but not the short, natural replies a waiter or receptionist will give you.
You reach for your phone.
Translation helps, but it interrupts the moment and leaves you dependent on a signal when you need help fast.
“The goal isn’t perfect French. It’s staying in the moment instead of freezing.” - Elisabeth
In plain terms
What exactly is The France Travel Kit?
A short, guided online course that teaches beginners the essential phrases, simple sentence patterns, and listening skills they need to get by in France.
Tell us about your trip
Add your date, destination, and priorities. The situations you’re most likely to need will appear first.
Work through one short mission
Each mission prepares you for a real-life situation. By the end, you’ll understand what people say and know how to respond.
Keep a backup in your pocket
Save useful words to your notebook and keep the emergency screen available, even when you’re offline.
A course that knows where you’re going
No long syllabus to follow in order. The course adapts to your trip.
Going to Paris in sixteen days and mostly worried about restaurants and the metro? Those situations appear first. The kit remembers the exact mission and step where you stopped.
- ✓Your trip priorities move to the top
- ✓You pick up exactly where you left off on any device
- ✓You can see which situations you’ve already mastered
The method inside every chapter
Six steps from “I recognize it” to “I can say it.”
Every mission follows the same simple rhythm, so you always know what comes next.
03 · Build a sentence
A simple pattern for making the sentence your own.
The new Basics section helps you practice être and avoir, articles, present-tense verbs, infinitives, prepositions of place, reflexive verbs, and accents. Each lesson combines a plain-English explanation, a clear conjugation table, and natural audio examples recorded by the French speakers in 360 French Immersion.
🎧FRENCH PERSON« Oui, bien sûr ! Suivez-moi, j’ai une table près de la fenêtre. »
04 · Hear replies
Prepare for the reply, not just your opening line.
Listen to replies recorded by French speakers, and try to understand them before you reveal their meaning. You’ll learn to recognize what someone is likely to say back.

JeanElisabeth’s AI assistant
I’m Jean. Ask me how to say something in French, what a phrase means, or what to say in a situation you’ll face in France.

« Une table pour deux, s’il vous plaît. » That’s a simple, polite way to ask for a table at a restaurant.

FAQ
Questions before you pack?
Is this right for a complete beginner?+
Yes. Every phrase includes an English translation, audio recorded by a French speaker, and a simple pronunciation guide. The grammar is taught as reusable sentence patterns, not abstract theory.
When should I start?+
One to three weeks before departure is ideal, but the personalized plan lets you focus on the most urgent situations even if you leave tomorrow.
Can I answer out loud during the role-plays?+
Yes. Guided scenes use recordings by French speakers. In Open Practice, you can answer by voice or keyboard and listen to each reply on demand. Jean gives you written feedback at the end of the scene.
Can I use it without an internet connection?+
The full course needs a connection. The dedicated emergency mode is saved after your first visit and can be reopened offline with its essential phrases, audio, numbers, and personal notes.
Is it different from Duolingo or Babbel?+
Those apps teach general French over time. This kit is deliberately focused on the words, replies, and cultural reflexes a beginner needs during a trip to France.
Is this a subscription?+
No. It’s one payment for lifetime access, including future updates to the kit.
What if it’s not for me?+
You have 15 days to explore the complete kit. If it’s not right for you, email us for a refund.
Spend less time searching for words and more time enjoying your trip.
You don’t need perfect French to have a better trip. You need a handful of strong reflexes, a little listening practice, and a reliable backup.
