A Great Teacher Makes All the Difference

A1 French beginner class for 10 weeks is totally free. It has no gimmick or trick for this fully packed language course. François is a very passionate and dedicated teacher. His teaching method is very versatile and dimensional from grammar to dictations, shadow learnings, masterclasses, stories telling, immersive journeys, etc.

I was touched and overwhelmed by François’s noble aims and purposes in teaching us French, he treated us like his own friends and tirelessly injected his energy into my curious and lazy bones, the bonus of joining this class is I met so many good hearted and diligent classmates who offered their sincere friendship and fellowship in studying together off classes. I’ll treasure all these heartfelt gifts with much gratitude.

In The French Club, I have found a community of like-minded Francophiles who support and encourage each other on their French-learning journey.
I took the A1 class in spite of having learned French primarily on my own for the last five years. I thought it was important to have a refresher on the basics to aid me in reaching my goal of being able to speak at a DELF B2 level. In one of the early classes, François made a comment: “Perhaps you are someone who has been studying alone in your basement for years. Why not join others and learn together?” After being a solo learner, I thought I could benefit from a more structured approach. I’m so glad I discovered The French Club.

As someone who didn’t like grammar, I came to greatly appreciate the depth of the lessons François prepared for the Masterclasses on essential topics. The curriculum for the courses and these classes often span 100-plus pages with detailed explanations, which was just the thing that I needed most to help me reach my goals. I have never seen a curriculum or books that provide the type of in-depth explanations and examples like the ones François has written.

The thing I like most about The French Club is that there is something for everyone, every day of the week. Whether it’s a class or an event such as shadowing, dictation, Raconte-Moi une Histoire, or the Fun French Talks, there is an opportunity to connect, learn, and grow. The vision of a thriving community of French learners where we can express thoughts, ideas, and share our talents and passions had me sold.

François has graciously given his time, talent, and wisdom, sharing precious anecdotes from his life. I greatly value that these lessons go beyond just speaking French; they give insight into his character and motivation, which go beyond just being an excellent teacher. I've seen other members of this community following his example, blossoming and sharing their talents and knowledge on other subjects with the same fervor. 

François, thank you for answering the call not just to be a teacher, but an exceptional leader, visionary, motivator, and friend.

I can say with complete enthusiasm, The French Club is exactly the place to be if you’re truly committed to learning French!

You will not find anyone more passionate, more dedicated, or more deeply invested in both the French language and his students than The French Club’s founder, François Normandeau. He has created a learning environment that is not only intellectually stimulating but also deeply enriching. This environment is a space that is kind, supportive, and rigorously challenging all at once - a rare and powerful combination.

François is an exceptional educator who pours extraordinary care into the quality of the learning environment and materials. He has a remarkable gift for placing new concepts within the broader cultural tapestry of the French-speaking world - both European and North American. In addition, he has a remarkably intuitive ability to draw out the best in people as they walk down their language learning journey.

Those of us who have been a part of The French Club know that it is truly a special place - a place where growth happens in ways you can’t yet predict but will absolutely feel. Learning a new language expands not only your understanding of the world but also your understanding of yourself. I enthusiastically recommend The French Club as the place to discover how far your French journey can take you!

À moi, le French Club est vraiment important. J’y rencontre de nouveaux amis et j’ai l’occasion de pratiquer mon français chaque semaine. Le professeur, Monsieur François, est excellent pour enseigner la langue française. Il explique les sujets de façon claire et utilise l’anglais au besoin, ce qui facilite la compréhension pour les étudiants.

J’attends les cours avec impatience. J’espère qu’un jour je pourrai visiter la France avec François et mes camarades de classe. Depuis que je participe au French Club, je me sens plus confiant et j’apprécie beaucoup les occasions de parler en français. Je sais qu’avec le temps, la grammaire deviendra plus facile pour moi.
Merci à François et au French Club! ❤️
