You have 3 simple entry points.
Use whichever feels most natural that day.
From any page on the web click **Libraries** from the site menu
Choose your Library and you’ll go straight in.
My Study shows you your learning at a glance:
* Quick links into every Library
* Your exact progress point
* Your overall Study Balance across the estate
It’s the easiest way to see where you are and pick up again.
On the app home screen, swipe through the Library cards.
Tap the one you want, then press Resume to land exactly where you left off.
*You can also open the Map if you like the bigger picture, but you don’t need it for quick movement.*
Each Library is focused on one skill:
Grammar — structure, verbs and clarity
Vocabulary — guided by the 907 base words
Listening — follow real spoken French
Pronunciation — shape your voice
Practical French — everyday situations
Reading (in progress) — stories and authentic texts
Everything is designed for steady progression and easy re-entry.
2 small questions are enough
1. Do you want guidance or a wander?
For clear direction: start in Vocabulary or Grammar
For discovery and surprise: try Listening or Practical French.
To work on how you sound: choose Pronunciation
2. What do you need today — building or exploring?
Building – strengthening something you already know
Exploring – following curiosity into something new
There is no “should”.
Your choice simply reflects the state of mind you arrived with.
Guidance Explained (for those who want a clear path)
If you prefer not to decide, these are your guided routes:
Grammar follows Grammaire Progressive Intermédiaire de Français
(work page by page or jump to the page you want)
Vocabulary follows the 907 high-frequency words
(verb families, meaning clusters and your Cahier 907)
10-Minute French gives you a ready-made study spark
(simple, curated tasks with no decisions)
Guided routes give you structure, momentum and clarity.
Wander Explained (for those who learn best by discovery)
If you prefer to follow curiosity:
Explore Listening for fresh voices
Dip into Practical French for real-life scenes
Try a Pronunciation practice that catches your attention
Scroll My Study or swipe the app and see what calls you
Wandering isn’t random.
It’s responsive. It keeps learning alive.
A Third Rhythm: The Rendez-Vous Tutos
Alongside guidance and wandering, you can follow the rhythm of the Rendez-Vous Tutos.
Each month brings a new theme.
You can join the livestreams on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays or watch them later in the Bonjour Brilliance archive.
Recent themes include:
Vocabulary techniques
Market stalls from the trader’s perspective
French baking shows
French media reporting on cultural stories
The top twelve mistakes English speakers make in French
Some learners enjoy following the whole theme across the month.
Others dip in when a topic sparks interest.
If you’d like to know more, see the Guidebook entry on RDV Tutos.
A word about balance
These 3 tracks — guidance, wandering and the monthly Tuto rhythm — are not meant to be used all at once. The Libraries are like a bookshop. You would not walk in and try to read every book in a single visit. You choose the one that suits your mood and your moment.
It is the same here.
You are not meant to “do everything”.
This is not a race or a checklist.
It is a learning space built with balance in mind.
Choose the track that fits how you feel today.
Return tomorrow and choose again.
That rhythm is what keeps learning light, steady and enjoyable.
The French Room isn’t built on streaks or checklists.
It’s built on two things adults learn best with:
- Structure when you want it
- Serendipity when you need it
Some days you’ll take a straight line.
Some days you’ll follow a spark.
Both are good choices. Both move you forward.
If you’d like to explore the thinking behind this
These two short pieces deepen the ideas behind Guidance and Wander:
* *What TJ Maxx Can Teach Us About Deep Learning in Midlife* — on treasure-hunting, discovery and serendipity
* *Why Attention Spans Aren’t Shrinking — They’re Polarising* — on ten minutes vs deep focus and why both matter in midlife learning
Your Next Step
Enter through **Libraries**, **My Study**, or the **app**, and begin anywhere.
You’ll be moving and learning.
The Course player for the Learn French Libraries works in the same way as for Bonjour Brilliance. I will explain the flow of the Tutos within the fluency levels and their objectives in following posts where we visit and look inside each library.
