J'ai visité mon ami ce weekend, c'était super !

Sarah, dinner with colleagues

Sarah has been living in France for two years. She speaks French every day. People understand her. She gets by.

But one evening, at dinner with colleagues, she says "j'ai visité mon ami ce weekend". Her French colleague gently corrects her.

We say "rendre visite à" someone 😊 "Visiter" is for museums!

Marie, French colleague

Sarah smiles and makes a mental note. But in her head, a question keeps nagging: how many other mistakes like this am I making without knowing?

The answer, after 1,000 hours of individual coaching with students like Sarah, I know exactly.


THE 80/20 RULE

The Pareto Principle applied to French

In 1896, Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto discovered that 80% of wealth was held by 20% of the population. This rule applies everywhere - in economics, productivity, and engineering.

I wanted to check if it also applied to my students' mistakes. I took 6,000+ corrections from my 715 individual coaching files, accumulated between 2024 and 2026. I classified everything, counted everything, analyzed everything.

And I found exactly what Pareto would have predicted: the same 300 errors come up with almost all my students, regardless of their nationality.

Americans, Brits, Australians, Canadians - they all make the same mistakes. "Faire une décision" instead of "prendre une décision". "C'était 8 ans avant" instead of "il y a 8 ans". "J'adore faire le sport" instead of "faire du sport".

These 300 errors account for roughly 80% of all the mistakes I've corrected.

The problem isn't grammar - it's reflexes

You know the rules. But when you speak, your brain doesn't have time to look up the right rule. It takes the fastest shortcut.

And that shortcut almost always goes through English.

These aren't knowledge mistakes. They're reflex mistakes. And the only way to fix them is to practice until the right reflex replaces the wrong one. That's exactly what Zéro Faute does.

Why I created this programme

@elisabeth_hellofrench

My name is Elisabeth, and I've been teaching French since 2020 to adults from all over the world.

After hundreds of individual coaching sessions, I realized something fascinating: my students were all making the same mistakes. Regardless of their nationality.

So I started writing them down. Systematically. 6,000+ corrections later, I grouped the 300 most frequent ones into this programme.

Why Zéro Faute is different

A traditional grammar course

Starts from theory and hopes you'll remember the rules. Covers hundreds of grammar points, most of which you already know. Multiple-choice exercises where you can guess.

Variable
Zéro Faute

Starts from real mistakes made by real students and has you practice only what actually blocks you. You type your answer - no guessing. Based on 6,000+ corrections from individual coaching.

Is Zéro Faute right for you?

This programme isn't for everyone. Here's how to know if it can help you.

Yes, if...

  • You've been speaking French for at least a year, but certain mistakes keep coming back
  • You keep getting corrected on the same things and want to finally build the right reflexes
  • You prefer typing your answer rather than clicking a button - you know that's how you actually retain things
  • You want to work on the mistakes that actually matter, not review grammar you already know

No, if...

  • You're a complete beginner who has never had a conversation in French
  • You're looking for a conversation or listening course - for that, check out 360 French Immersion

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Zéro Faute and 360 French Immersion?

360 French Immersion is a complete course that works on all French skills (listening, pronunciation, writing, conversation) through 60 dialogues between native speakers. Zéro Faute focuses specifically on correcting common mistakes through targeted exercises. They complement each other, and if you buy 360, Zéro Faute is included as a bonus.

What level of French do I need?

Zéro Faute is designed for B1 to C1 levels - learners who already speak French but want to eliminate recurring errors. If you're a complete beginner, start with 360 French Immersion which takes you from A2 level.

How do the exercises work exactly?

There are four types of exercises: fix a sentence that contains an error, fill in a blank with the right word, translate a tricky English word, and write a sentence using an expression correctly. In all cases, you type your answer. The programme accepts variants and small typos, and explains the rule if you get it wrong.

Do I have to follow the chapters in order?

No, you can start with whichever chapter interests you most. Chapters are ranked from most frequent to least frequent errors, but each one is independent.

Where do the programme's errors come from?

Every error comes from a real individual coaching session with me. Between 2024 and 2026, I systematically documented corrections across over 700 coaching files. In total, 6,000+ corrections were analyzed and classified to create the programme's 10 chapters.

How long does it take to finish the programme?

There are 10 chapters and 100+ exercises in total. You can complete a chapter in 15-20 minutes. Some students do everything in a weekend, others prefer one chapter per week. Access is lifetime.
