Speak French β€” For Real

At GoodFrenchTips, we help you speak French β€” for real. Whether you’re a beginner or a more advanced learner, our method focuses on what matters most: conversation.

Speaking is not an add-on. It’s the heart of the learning process β€” and the key to real confidence.

🎯 Three Tools to Boost Your Speaking Skills

At GoodFrenchTips, conversation is at the core of the method. To help you progress with confidence, we combine three complementary tools:

1️⃣ Live Workshop (once a month)
A 1-hour Zoom session with Violaine, every first Thursday.
β†’ Learn useful vocabulary, explore a real French topic, and practice speaking in a friendly, supportive group.

2️⃣ Conversation Practice Tool
Practice speaking anytime with dialogues designed by French teachers and adapted to your level.
β†’ Build fluency, improve pronunciation, and gain confidence β€” at your own pace.

3️⃣ Personalized Feedback Session
Start with a placement test, then reassess every 6 months.
β†’ Get a 20-minute live session with a teacher to review your progress and guide your next steps.

Why It Works

Many learners reach a point where they understand French but struggle to speak naturally. They feel stuck, lose confidence, or develop bad habits from random apps or videos.

  • Real speaking practice, with real human support
  • A method clearly focused on oral production
  • Tools that adapt to your level, goals, and pace β€” not the other way around
