Débutant — speaking French for the first time
You’ve started learning French. The Signature Class is where you learn the rules. The Conversation Lab is where you start putting them to work, out loud, with other people doing the same thing.
About the class
An 85-minute speaking class, every week, at our school in SoHo. Built and taught by Coucou teachers using the Coucou Method, with a clear structure each week: role-plays, conversation prompts, and games, all themed around beginner content. No new grammar piled on, just structured practice that turns what you know into what you can say.
Each class runs at the same time every week with your teacher. You book the sessions you want, and coming back to the same one is how you become a regular. Bringing your own drinks and snacks to share is welcome and encouraged.

What you’ll get out of it
- Confidence on your feet, the kind that only comes from speaking out loud
- Vocabulary that sticks because you used it, not because you memorized it
- A teacher who knows you and when to push
- A class of like-minded learners going through the same thing

The fine print
85-minute group session at our school in SoHo. If you’re the only one enrolled, it becomes a 60-minute private at the same price.
This lab is for students who’ve completed (or are about to complete) Level 1 Signature Class, or who have some prior French foundation at this level. Not for absolute beginners, start with Level 1 Signature Class instead.
