Live French Classes at The French Room

Practice your speaking weekly with a small group of adults

If you have never learnt with The French Room before you might like to try out and experience the methodology for free here. You are also welcome to meet with Ellie to check your level and find out more about learning in a conversation. 

How Live Group Classes Work

";
Live Classes are 90 minutes a week with a small group of 6 adults total. You do the speaking on a roughly 70-30 split with the teacher. You practice in real time and get clear, simple corrections.

The 907 Method Developed at The French Room 

The starting point is the lexical research of Professor Jacqueline Picoche. She identified 907 particularly useful French words that appear constantly and do an enormous amount of work in the language.

We take that research and use it inside The French Room through one word explored across our Membership Self-Study Resources: Bonjour Brilliance and Voice Mastery Studio, in un Cahier and here in Live Class conversation.

A place in a group, not a bundle of classes

“Meeting weekly and chatting in French with others at the same level makes such a difference and whilst it is challenging it is also very rewarding.”

Live Group Classes are built around a consistent small group of no more than six learners.

When you join, your place is reserved in that group. Across the teaching year you have 38 × 90-minute classes — 57 hours of live French — with comprehensive notes after every class.

That continuity means we can pick up where we left off, return to ideas until they stick, and keep bringing the French you are building through the 907 Method into real conversation.

If you miss a class, the notes keep you connected to what the group worked on so you can come back ready to continue.


How well do you want to know a word?

In Bonjour Brilliance: Bank it

Understand the word and the useful French that gathers around it.

In Voice Mastery: Make it yours out loud

Use it in your own voice and get personal feedback.

In Live Group Classes: Make it yours in conversation

Retrieve it, adapt it, and use it with other people until more of your French is available under pressure.

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

Meet your teacher, Ellie

"I’ve spent many years on and off trying to improve my French. The French Room has seen the best outcomes for the investment by far.

For me Ellie has done many things that made the magic: she valued and consolidated what I’d learned to date, built my confidence that was a game changer, and filled gaps and grew my skills by targeted, small components that are effective and rewarding.

My motivation is maintained and I’ve seen a massive difference when in France. I recommend very highly."
