Learn with people like you

It feels really authentic, real French with loads of useful, idiomatic and colloquial phrases! Everyone is a committed learner and really supportive of each other
Sarah Stern (UK)

I have found a learning model which really suits and really works.

For me, this is the recorded tutos and the live group classes. Ellie's recorded tutos, which you can dip into as frequently as you want, are excellent, and the live classes are a great environment to practise your french speaking in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

French you can use in France

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

The confidence to go forward and converse in French

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. I recommend to anyone considering learning or improving their French language skills to make use of the variety of learning tools available through The French Room.

Immerse yourself in French

The course offerings are plentiful from tutos, private lessons, group lessons, book club, etc. I have participated in and enjoyed them all. Ellie’s grasp of the language, her teaching style and positive encouragement makes the learning process an enjoyable experience.  I highly recommend TFR and Ellie if you are looking for an immersive, positive avenue to learn the French language.
