Paul shared on Trustpilot:
The online community and video meetings are fun, helpful, and interactive. There is no stress to “perform”, no tests to take, etc. Of course, it’s not magic, you’ll still have to put in some time reading easy books about things that interest you, or reading the many entertaining French stories found on Alice’s website. I love it!
So, if you’ve thought about learning French, or have tried before but failed, I would suggest that you give this a try. The membership prices are very reasonable and the environment is pretty rich!

French the natural way: how to understand French better?
Coucou les French learners,
As you know, our approach to acquiring French emphasizes understanding the language in context rather than focusing solely on memorization and grammar rules.
When you understand French with ease, you start to think in French naturally and then you speak French freely.
A few weeks ago, Richie asked in the Community Chat:
How should I be moving through each lesson? Should I be remembering the words before I move on? Or, be at least be able to fully comprehend the gist of what is happening?
Do not worry about remembering the words. When you understand, your brain subconsciously remembers the new words.
How to understand French easily?
Here is one simple tip: focus on understanding the gist of what is being said. It is key.
- Focus on recognizing keywords and familiar phrases.
- Try to understand the overall context of the conversation or text. Ignore trying to understand every word.
- listen for the main ideas and themes.
- Pay attention to non-verbal cues, such as tone of voice and gestures, which can provide valuable context clues.
Over time, as you become more familiar with French, your ability to comprehend complicated and faster speech or text will improve.

Cathrine shared on Trustpilot:
Honestly, such a breath of fresh air. Really wonderful delivery and adorable design. Creates a warm and exciting atmosphere in which learning becomes a delight. I’ve never felt anything like this learning as an adult, a beautiful reminder of the love and patience I experienced in my own kindergarten and primary school. Thank you for such a wonderful course.

French the natural way: in case you didn't know...
Coucou les French learners,
Spring is the perfect time to start French.
With longer days, brighter skies, and a sense of rejuvenation in the air, now is the perfect time to breathe new life into your French journey. Spring beckons with its vibrant energy, making it the ideal time to dive into French.
As Margot shared on Trustpilot:
Alice Ayel’s “Le français naturellement” is fabulous. It’s like inhaling a language and exhaling understanding and speech. Fabulous!
Spring live classes
Do you need a French reset?
I have your back! There are still spots available, choose from three weekly classes for three different levels!
Ellen shared:
Alice is charming, delightful and very pleasant to listen to. Her approach to speaking and learning French is unique and rather brilliant!
Her technique is the easiest and most painless way to learn the language!

French the natural way: how to keep going, we are here to help you!
Coucou les French learners,
When you are on your own, it is hard to be disciplined and keep going. I get it! Especially when you don’t plan to visit France anytime soon. You are maybe acquiring French just to keep your brain active or because French is a beautiful language. All these reasons are valid but they might not push you to keep going.
-
Keep on track
-
Monitor your progress regularly
-
Stay motivated when feeling discouraged
We have thought about this with my Dear Man, Ben and we have had an idea. Let’s help you stay on track with your French acquisition journey!

Margot who joined us a few months ago shared on TrustPilot:
I started the Baby stage about four months ago and now I am able to understand most of what I hear and read as I progress through the beginner’s program. Alice is a wonderful and fun teacher. Her stories are amusing and memorable. There are so many ways to improve understanding — written stories, audio, drawings, podcasts and input from fellow students. I have joined a couple of her group zoom conversations and enjoyed the experience immensely.
Story of the day
Let’s kicked off a daily habit.
Go to our Community Chat for l’histoire du jour (story of the day). This is your chance to read and listen to a comprehensible French story every day. Remember, the goal is to grasp the essence of the story, not every single word.
The more you hear and read French, the more you understand. Before you know it, you understand French with ease. You think French naturally and finally you speak French freely!
This is what Paul said about today’s story, Le jambon-beurre:
Je vais prendre un jambon-beurre pour dejeuner pendant de mon “tour de la mort” à Paris (les Catacombes, le Panthéon, l’Hôtel des Invalides et le Cimetière du Père-Lechaise) mercredi prochain. Je pense que j’ai vu cette vidéo il y a quelques mois, qui me donne l’idee pour manger un jambon-beurre quand je retourne à Paris.

Set aside dedicated time each day for French, whether it’s listening to French during your commute or reading a French story before bed. By making French acqusition a regular part of your routine, you will stick with it over the long term.

After watching our last YouTube video, Mohammad commented:
I have only completed Baby stage and Infant stage, and I can completely understand the whole video with ease. The most interesting part is that I spent zero minutes studying! No kidding, it’s only me lying down and listening or watching Alice’s videos. Alice is the go to source when it comes to acquiring French naturally.
