Helping You Finally Speak French With Confidence
Real communication. Daily support. No perfection required.
From Frustrated Learner to Fluent Communicator
Bonjour, I’m Frédéric — founder of Talk in French.
I wasn’t always good at languages. In fact, I made all the mistakes you can imagine.
When I was 10, I had to choose a second language at school. I picked German — not because I was passionate about it, but because I thought the teacher looked nice. (True story. Not my proudest logic.)
Later, when I started learning English, it didn’t get easier. I could read. I could write. But when it came to speaking? I froze.
That’s when everything changed.
In the early 2000s, I found a penpal in the U.S. We exchanged letters for months — real communication, no pressure. Eventually, we met in person.
The first hour? Awkward. I panicked. But after that… things clicked.
All that writing had prepared me more than I realized. I stopped translating in my head. I started thinking in English.
That moment stuck with me.
Fast forward to 2013 — I was tutoring French students and saw them facing the same struggles I once had. They didn’t need more grammar. They needed a better method.
So I created Talk in French — to help learners feel confident through daily writing, speaking, and a system that focuses on real-world communication, not perfection.
Since then, we’ve helped thousands of learners around the world break through the fear and actually use their French.
Now it’s your turn. Let’s help you feel at ease in French — one step at a time.
À bientôt,Frédéric
Founder, Talk in French
What We Believe
We believe fluency comes from using the language — not from memorizing rules or chasing perfection.
Here’s what we stand by:
You don’t get fluent by memorizing
Real French sticks when you actually use it.
Speaking and writing matter more than perfection
Mistakes aren’t a problem — they’re progress.
It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what works
Smart practice > endless apps.
A small habit beats a perfect plan
You don’t need hours a day. You need consistency.

We help French learners speak with ease — even if they’ve struggled before.

Meet Your French Language Accelerator (FLA) Program Coaches
Real Coaches. Real Progress.
Not everyone gets to coach here. All our coaches are certified, with years of teaching under their belt. They must pass tough test lessons before they’re allowed to join our program.
University-Trained Language Teachers. Not “Conversation Partners”.
Every FLA coach holds formal university-level qualifications in language teaching
degrees in linguistics, education, or second-language acquisition.
That means they’re trained in:
- How adults actually acquire a language
- Why speaking breaks down even when comprehension is good
- How to fix production, not just explain grammar again
Proven With Real Adult Learners. Built Around a Custom Study Plan.
Our coaches don’t just teach in classrooms.
They work one-on-one with adults who are stuck and need a clear plan, not more content.
People who:
- Studied for years but still hesitate when speaking
- Know grammar but can’t use it under pressure
- Have tried apps, tutors, and “conversation practice” already
Every student starts with a custom study plan built around:
- Your current level
- Your speaking bottlenecks
- Your real-world goals
No generic curriculum. No random sessions.
Our coaches diagnose the bottleneck fast and apply the fix through a structured plan you can actually follow.
This is targeted coaching, not generic teaching.
Our team comes from Spain and across Latin America.
You get real accents, real cultural context, and real accountability.
The goal is simple:
Don’t just study French. Speak it with confidence.
