French classes Los Angeles, Malibu, New York & AI-powered French learning for Americans

• Content made for Americans learning French — with special attention to cross-cultural differences and practical usage
• Private WhatsApp groups where learners can connect, ask questions, and practice with each other between lessons
• Weekly newsletter with curated blog posts, French expressions, and audio clips

Who we are

GoodFrenchTips was founded by Violaine de Landes, a Paris-born French teacher living in California since 2016. Violaine teaches at the Alliance Française de Los Angeles and holds a Master’s degree from La Sorbonne. She created GoodFrenchTips to extend her classroom online—and to help students stay engaged and confident between lessons.

Today, the platform is developed by a small team of passionate teachers and cultural contributors, united around one idea:

💡 French is not just a language. It’s a lifestyle you can live, practice, and enjoy—even from the U.S.
