See how The French Room fits together

Instead of a dashboard, you start with a map.

This is the centre of your French world
— My Study, the Libraries, Live Classes, the Amphitheatre, the Voice Mastery Studio — all laid out so you can move with ease.


What You Will Experience

You won’t be pushed through a syllabus or left to work things out alone.

You’ll have clear places to go, nudges when you need them, and room to follow what interests you.

"Week by week the language becomes a part of one’s everyday life.”

Much of this comes from the structure you’ll see on the map — it gives you room to explore with enough shape to move forward.

Is this for you?

  • If you want guidance without being managed 


You’ll feel at home here.


"It’s like a friendship group that’s once removed—supportive, but different from your usual circles.”

If streaks and gamification motivate you, Duolingo is brilliant.
If you want something deeper and more human, this might be your place.

It's not an either or choice. Many people here do both side by side.

👩‍🎓 Meet Ellie

The French Room Owner and Sole Formatrice

I’m Ellie — your formatrice.

The word comes from the French verb "former", which means to form, shape and develop.

It’s a role focused on helping you build real capability — not memorise information.

That’s why it fits what we do here so well.

A prof teaches in a school model.
A tutor supports your requests.
A formatrice helps you develop your French in a way that becomes part of how you think, speak and understand the world.

It’s adult-to-adult.
It’s practical.
It’s shaped around real use.

I won’t supervise you like a schoolteacher or follow a textbook the way a tutor might.

"You explore; I help you make sense of what you find — forming and strengthening your French as you go."
