Bonjour tout le monde ! 👋
We’ve given our site a complete makeover!
And before you worry about having to relearn where everything is, let me reassure you: this change is all about making your life easier, not harder. 🌟
Over the past months, My Dear Man & I have been listening to your feedback, watching how you use the site, and asking myself: “How can we make this simpler? How can we remove the overwhelm and help everyone find exactly what they need without clicking through a maze of buttons and tabs?“
The answer? Less is more. Fewer buttons. Clearer navigation.
Everything you need, right where you’d expect to find it. ✨
Watch the Welcome Video First! 🎬
Before I explain anything, watch the new intro video.
It’s short, friendly, and will walk you through everything you need to know about navigating the new site.
👉 Watch it here: https://www.aliceayel.com/membership/welcome/
Seriously, take 10 minutes right now. Grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let me give you the grand tour.
It’ll make everything so much clearer! ☕
Where Everything Lives Now 🗺️
Once you’ve watched the video, here’s a quick summary of where to find what you need:
Connect with the Community 💬
At the very top of your page, you’ll see “Talk” – that’s our Community Chat where you can introduce yourself, ask questions, share your progress, and connect with fellow French learners.
We want to hear your story! Where are you from? Why are you learning French? Jump in and say hello!
And don’t forget our Telegram group – click the Telegram link at the top of the Talk page to join our vibrant, supportive community where members share voice messages, narrations, photos, and celebrate each other daily! 🎙️📱
Make Real Progress 🚀
Click “Progress” at the top of your page to find our structured learning path.
Start with the Baby Progress (yes, even if you’re not a beginner – this builds your foundation!), then move through Infant, Teen, Adult, and Senior at your own pace.
Each progress builds naturally on the last, keeping you in that sweet spot of comprehension and growth. 🌱
Explore More Stories 🎬🎧
Beyond the structured Progess, you have two wonderful sections:
- “Watch” – All our Story Listening videos organized by level, complete with transcripts and audio so you can read along
- “Listen” – Stories, podcasts, and audiobooks perfect for when you’re on the go
Free Gifts in La Boutique 🎁

The 3 Steps That Transform Your French 🎯
No matter where you are on the site, remember these three powerful steps:
Step 1: Watch and listen to get the gist of the story.
Don’t stress about every word – just let French wash over you and follow the narrative. 👀🎧
Step 2: Read and listen again using the Audio Sync button at the top of each story page.
This connects written words with sounds and deepens your comprehension dramatically. 📖🔊
Step 3: Narrate the story in your own words – speak it aloud or write it by hand.
Start in your native language, mix in French, and gradually use more French as you grow. Then share your narration on Telegram or in Talk so we can celebrate with you! ✍️🗣️
These three steps are how passive listening becomes active speaking. This is how French becomes truly yours.
Your Feedback Matters! 💭
This redesign is for YOU, so I really want to know what you think!
Is something confusing? Did you find what you needed easily? Is there something you loved about the old design that you miss? Or maybe you’re discovering features you never knew existed?
Please share your thoughts!
- In our Community Chat (Talk): https://www.aliceayel.com/talk/
- Or directly on Telegram: https://t.me/+kj7F0mWZ8Uo4OWE0
My Dear Man & I are reading every comment, and your feedback helps me make this space even better for our entire community.
Don’t hold back – We want to hear the good, the challenging, and everything in between! 🌟
I know change can feel a bit disorienting at first, but I promise – once you watch that welcome video and click around for a few minutes, you’re going to love how much simpler and more intuitive everything feels.
Welcome to the new chapter of our journey together!
À très bientôt,
Alice 🇫🇷
P.S. I want to take a moment to thank each of you who sent messages of condolence. Your kindness and compassion touched me more deeply than words can express. This community isn’t just about learning French – it’s about genuine human connection, and I’m so grateful to have you all in my life. Thank you for holding space for me during a difficult time. Your warmth means the world. 🕊️
