Grand Débutant — making your verbs feel automatic
Level 2 – Grand Débutant is all about irregular verbs, reflexive structures, and negations. We know you know them. But reaching for them mid-sentence still feels like work. This is where that changes.
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: themed conversation prompts, role-plays, and guided speaking activities focused on irregular verbs, reflexive structures, and the everyday situations where they come up. No new grammar piled on, just structured practice that turns rules you understand into French you actually use.
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
- Irregular verbs that stop tripping you up mid-sentence
- Reflexive structures that feel natural, not like a translation puzzle
- Everyday vocabulary in context: restaurants, directions, daily life
- A teacher who knows you and when to push
- A class of like-minded learners going through the same thing
