French That
Feeds the Mind
and Delights the Soul

It all starts with Coucou



 

What learning French at Coucou can do for you

You’re not trying to master the subjunctive. You want to stay sharp, keep your French up, and feel confident when talking about art, politics, or that novel you just finished—all in a language you’ve always loved.

Studies show that engaging with a second language later in life helps boost memory, strengthen cognitive function, and even delay age-related decline. But beyond the science, it’s about staying connected: to the world, to culture, and to others.

“I’m rereading Colette, watching French films without subtitles, and remembering words I thought I’d lost. My mind feels sharper, my days feel fuller — and it all started with Coucou.”

 

Maureen C., online student, moved to France 1 year ago after 5 years at Coucou.

WHY COUCOU IS DIFFERENT

A place for real conversations

Coucou is a space for curious adults who care more about conversation than conjugation. Our students aren’t looking to pass a test—they just want to speak, connect, and keep growing.

Where people who love French and life meet

No pressure. Just smart, joyful classes led by native teachers and social events to meet other learners of all ages; in person & online. 

French at home, à la carte

Between your classes, you can bring French into your daily life with 6pm in Paris, our streaming platform built by the Coucou team.
