If you’ve always wanted to discover French, but don’t really know what to expect, sign up for an Intro to French class!
If you are a complete beginner and are ready to start your journey with French, sign up for this class! The main grammar focus of this class will be to conjugate regular verbs in the present tense and to learn the structure of a simple sentence in French.
Sign up for this class if you can conjugate regular verbs in the present tense as well as common irregular verbs, such as être, avoir, aller and faire. You already know how to construct a basic sentence in French (subject, verb, object, etc). The main grammar focus of this class will be learning how to ask questions and conjugating irregular verbs in the present tense.
This class is for you if you know how to ask questions, say things like “I want some milk,” or “I never get up early” in French. You have a handle on conjugating most irregular verbs in the present tense. The main grammar focus of this class will be to master the different past tenses.
You have learned the different past tenses and object pronouns, and can say things like “he gave it to me” or “I ate there last night”. In this class the grammar focus will be on hypothetical sentences such as “If I were you, I would take a French class at Coucou,” or “if I go to Paris, I will visit the Louvre.”
You should sign up for this class if you are familiar with and feel fairly confident using all major tenses (present, passé composé, imparfait, plus-que-parfait, futur simple, conditionnel). The grammar focus of this class will be the subjunctive and relative pronouns.
You should sign up for this class if you have learned all the major grammar topics in French and mostly need conversation practice! The focus of this class will be to improve your conversational skills, extend your vocabulary and improve your comprehension.
You only need occasional reviews of advanced grammatical topics, and you mostly want to improve your conversation skills, work on your French slang, meet like-minded people and learn more about French culture.
You can book a private session with one of our teachers where the curriculum will be adapted to your own pace and can also be made to fit your specific needs and interests – whether you need to prep for a language exam or a trip to France.

We are very happy to bring the Coucou method and experience to the Twin Cities!
Conveniently located in the heart of the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, Coucou Minneapolis offers daily group and private classes of all levels, cultural workshops and events. A bientôt!.
At Coucou, we pride ourselves in teaching you French the way it is commonly spoken in modern France. Our classes focus on conversation and informal interactions, while still following a thorough grammar curriculum.
The social aspect of language classes is very important to us, and we truly believe that if you have fun in class you’ll have an easier time navigating the finer points of French grammar!
Limited to 10 people, our group classes are as intimate as it gets! This means that the groups are small enough so that each students gets an optimal amount of individual speaking time and personal attention from the teacher; and large enough to be social and to make games and activities fun!
Coucou is one of the only language schools to allow prospective students to come and sit in on a French class for free before deciding that they want to join, or to have their level accurately assessed by one of our teachers. Almost every student who comes for a trial class ends up joining us for a full course!
Book a trial class now
We have designed our own curriculum for each level, as well as our own course booklets for levels 1 through 5, to get you to speak the way real people speak in modern France.The custom content is a mix of grammar lessons and fun activities - always with a little bit of homework to get you to practice in between classes.
All of Coucou's classes take place online via the video conferencing platform Zoom. Course curriculum has been optimized for online learning and we use all of Zoom's features such as the white board to best recreate an in-person class environment. Each student receives their Zoom link the day before their class starts.
