How The French Room works

Progress is when French feels easier, not when you know more
Write your awesome label here.

Inside The French Room, everyone works within the same weekly structure.

Three times a week, you receive focused teaching.

We call these Rendez-Vous Tutos.

That rhythm is what makes this school what it is.

Choose your configuration
From there, you decide how much guidance you want around your work.

There are two ways to work inside this structure

Bonjour Brilliance + Voice Mastery

The Supported Method

You follow the same weekly Rendez-Vous Tuto rhythm.

You build your sentences inside Bonjour Brilliance and share your work.

Ellie may ask you to record yourself saying the phrases you’ve built.

She listens and gives you a steer on clarity, rhythm and how your French lands with a listener.

This is about impact — not just saying something correctly, but saying it so it carries.

For example:
You build:
Je prends le bus pour aller au travail.

You might begin to ask:
– How far can I stretch prendre in everyday situations?
– Where does the sentence start to break if I extend it?
– How does this sound when I say it naturally?

You might be guided to:
– revisit the Grammar Library to refine the structure
– expand usage in the Vocabulary Library
– listen again in the Listening Library to sharpen how it lands

“I went from frozen to having real conversations in France.”
“People actually spoke to me in French—I wasn’t automatically switched to English!”

Build. Test. Refine. Improve

Bonjour Brilliance 

The Independent Method

You follow the same weekly Rendez-Vous Tuto rhythm.

You build your sentences and work the ideas inside Bonjour Brilliance.

Using the same sentence:
Je prends le bus pour aller au travail.

You might:
– visit the Grammar Library to tighten the structure
– use the Vocabulary Library to explore wider uses of prendre
– go to the Listening Library to hear how it behaves in everyday speech

You identify what needs attention.
You adjust using the libraries.
You continue building.

You are working inside the same six libraries — choosing how to use them.
“Ellie always weaves in grammar in a way that makes sense in real life.”
“I finally understand how to build sentences naturally.”

Live Classes

Live classes run alongside both approaches.

They extend the groundwork done in Bonjour Brilliance.

Live classes are where that work becomes conversation.

Building sentences yourself develops precision.
Using them with other people develops responsiveness.
You can move between configurations over time.
You’re building within the same structure throughout.
The foundation stays the same.
