Spécialiste — French as a language you live in, five days straight
You have all the theory you need. What’s missing isn’t more rules, it’s the leap into actually using them. Conducted 100% in French, Level 6 is where you stop translating and start living in the language, and here you do it five days in a row. It’s our most social level, the one students stay in for months, condensed into a full week of nothing but French.

About the class
A 90-minute speaking class for advanced students, every day Monday through Friday, taught live on Zoom and conducted 100% in French. Built and taught by Coucou teachers using the Coucou Method, with a clear structure each day: news articles, videos, songs, poems, debates, improv, role-plays, and group storytelling, all designed to challenge spontaneity and expressive range. There’s no fixed textbook. Each day the teacher prepares custom material. Grammar isn’t the focus, but precision is. Corrections happen in stride, without slowing the conversation.
What you’ll get out of it
- Five straight days in French, the kind of momentum a weekly class can’t give you
- Real-time fluency: French that comes out at conversation speed, without translation
- Listening comprehension on natural French: songs, news, real speakers, full speed
- Cultural literacy: references, idioms, the things French people actually mean
- A small group of fellow advanced speakers, going all in together for the week
