Learn French Confidently Online as an Adult

Small, friendly online classes designed to help you use French naturally—without embarrassment.

We are online but with architecture you can feel

It's all virtual and the aim is to feel like you are stepping out of your daily life into a little bit of France  - stay for 10 mins, an hour or the whole day.

Le Quartier Bonjour Brilliance

The French Room is a virtual set of buildings that sit within a courtyard that we call

"Le Quartier Bonjour Brilliance"


The courtyard is where all the community conversation happens. In fact, we have plenty of places where you can chat with your fellow learners. 


If you are standing in the courtyard and look up - you will see the live class rooms. If you look around you at ground level - you will see archways into The French Room libraries and if you go inside you'll find your own - small study room laid out just for you.

Two keys - one learning rhythm

Each level of The French Room has its own key.
One for your live classes. - Live rooms 
One for your learning space - Le Quartier Bonjour Brilliance and the Learning Libraries that live in its archways

250 Student Limit

Places are Limited Here for Proper, Personalised Teaching

I limit the number of active students both in live classes and for Bonjour Brilliance.

You will notice the small, boutique atmosphere at The French Room. That is because spaces are limited.

Proper, personal support

You can ask me questions, submit your reflections for review and ask me to make Tutos. I am interested in your independent study and like to hear from you.

Small Groups and 1:1 Coaching

You will get to know me and your fellow students well. Lots of friendships have been formed at The French Room.

“It’s like a friendship group that’s once removed—supportive, but different from your usual circles.” Jill Level 3 Live Class

If Carlsberg did French teachers... 


"I have been learning with Ellie since the start of the year. Her classes are engaging, thoughtfully constructed and fun. I recently visited France and the difference in my use of language since learning with Ellie was enormous. That was partly about new vocabulary and grammar learned, but more than this it was a total shift in my ability to listen to French being spoken and to be confident I can make myself understood, regardless that it isn't perfect. I have fallen back in love with learning French thanks to Ellie."
