For adults who want to practise speaking independently

Starter suits learners who want a structured first step before committing to private coaching. You can return to the recordings and workbook as often as you need during your access period.

This is a self-study programme. If you want live practice and individual feedback, explore the eight-week guided beginner programme or discuss your needs in a free diagnostic.

Turn listening into spoken practice

Listen and understand

Work through a daily audio lesson and connect the French patterns with their meaning.

Make it personal

Use the workbook to adapt patterns to your own life and produce them aloud.

Retrieve and review

Record your practice, compare it with the model and revisit what you have learned in the review tracks.

Choose a manageable routine

Follow the 20 daily lessons across four weeks, using the weekly reviews to revisit the material. The final review brings your practice together. Six months of access gives you room to repeat lessons at a pace that suits you.

Continue when you are ready

Will this make me fluent in four weeks?

Starter is designed to help you build speaking habits and practise useful patterns. Progress depends on your starting point and practice; fluency is not guaranteed.
