You don't need a teacher

Finally feel like yourself in French

You’re already at an intermediate level, you’ve taken lessons for years, and yet the moment you need to speak, nothing comes out.

Your level is almost never what’s blocking you, which is exactly why a few more hours of lessons won’t change anything.

So instead of explaining that to you for an hour, I’m going to show you.
Two people who have never met are going to have a real conversation in front of you, ten minutes in English and then ten minutes in French, with no topic given to them and nothing prepared.

One of them is French and wants to speak English, and the other one is an English speaker who wants to speak French, so they need each other exactly as much, and that is the thing you won’t find anywhere else.

Then I give each of them feedback on their pronunciation out loud, because that’s the part that needs a human ear in the room, and everything else comes from the recording afterwards.

If you can hold a simple conversation, even with mistakes and even while hunting for your words, this is for you. I don’t work with complete beginners and I do work with people from A2.

Tracy did this last month, in front of everybody, and here is what she said at the end: “I was probably at A2 level when I started with Céline last year. And now I’m probably B1 on the way to B2. There would have been no way. I tried for years.”
