ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

For absolute beginners who want to start French from scratch or get ready for a trip.
Five 1.5-hour lessons over two weeks.

Schedule

  • Lesson 1: Wednesday, December 2nd
  • Lesson 2: Friday, December 4th
  • Lesson 3: Monday, December 7th
  • Lesson 4: Wednesday, December 9th
  • Lesson 5: Friday, December 11th

Using the Coucou Method, each lesson builds on the last: pronunciation that keeps you from freezing up, the vocabulary and phrases you’ll actually reach for, and just enough culture to know how things really work in France. By the end of the intensive you’ll be ready to hop on a flight to France.

What you’ll get out of it

  • The phrases that get you through a café, a shop, a first conversation
  • Pronunciation that sounds like French, not like English with an accent
  • Enough structure to keep going, whether that’s a beginner class after or a trip
  • A teacher who makes week one feel doable, not daunting
  • A first taste of how Coucou actually teaches
