FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS.

Written from years of teaching French in our classrooms, anticipating the questions English speakers actually ask.

SHORT AND VISUAL.

Lessons you can read in one sitting, built to be understood the first time and revisited later.

FROM ADULT LIFE.

Vocabulary, examples, dialogues and humor drawn from the life you actually live, not from middle school.

Since 2015.

Developed and refined at Coucou, and used by more than 20,000 students along the way.

More about this book

Débutant | Level 1 gives you the building blocks to start making French sentences of your own, instead of memorizing a collection of phrases.

You’ll start with pronunciation and build from there: regular and essential irregular verbs, articles, gender, adjectives, adverbs, everyday vocabulary, and your first way to talk about the future.

By the end, you’ll understand how basic French sentences fit together and have the tools to start building your own.
