THE COUCOU METHOD™
A structured 7-level progression that builds both grammar and conversation.
From your first “bonjour” to French that feels like part of your life.
The Coucou Method™ combines a clear 7-level progression with two complementary class formats: Signature Classes for grammar and structure, and Conversation Labs for putting it all into practice.
ONE LEVEL AT A TIME.
FROM DÉBUTANT TO EXPERT.
Every Coucou class follows the same 7-level progression, the backbone of the Coucou Method™. Whether you’re starting from scratch or picking French back up, there’s a level for where you are now.
TWO FORMATS.
ONE PROGRESSION.
Signature Classes build your grammar and vocabulary. Conversation Labs turn what you know into French you can actually use, with a teacher there to guide you.
A clear learning path.
Use the two formats together as you move through the levels, at a pace that works for you.

BUILT FROM SCRATCH.
DESIGNED FOR THIS.
Every lesson, exercise, and activity is created specifically for the Coucou Method™. No generic textbooks. No recycled worksheets.
SIGNATURE CLASS MATERIAL
Curriculum designed for every level.
Each Signature Class level comes with custom course and exercise books developed in-house. Grammar lessons, vocabulary exercises, and practical activities work together throughout the 10 weeks. A little homework helps reinforce what you practice in class.
MATERIALS INCLUDED:
Level Course Book (digital PDF)
Level Exercise Book (digital PDF)
CONVERSATION LABS MATERIAL
One topic. One skill. Every session.
Each Conversation Lab is built around a specific topic or language skill. Learn ready-to-use expressions, practice through conversation, scenarios, and guided activities, and leave with language you can use outside the classroom. Every session stands on its own, with no prep required.
MATERIALS INCLUDED:
Custom Activity Sheets designed in-house by our teachers

THE PEOPLE AND PRINCIPLES
BEHIND THE METHOD.
The Coucou Method™ is also about who’s in the room: teachers who know the method inside out, and classes small enough for everyone to actually speak.
NATIVE FRENCH TEACHERS
Every Coucou teacher is a native French speaker and is trained extensively in the Coucou Method™. Their backgrounds span art, theater, literature, education, and more, and that personality and perspective naturally make their way into class.
SMALL CLASS SIZES
Our group classes are limited to 10–12 students. Small enough that you get real speaking time in every session. Large enough to interact with classmates and practice French the way it’s actually used: in conversation with other people.
