💡 Have you started thinking about your New Year’s resolutions yet? Is improving your French fluency one of them? If so, one of the best things you can do is shift your focus away from technical written French and towards useful spoken French instead.

You will see the fastest improvement in speaking and understanding French by learning the specifics of spoken French (& ignoring everything else). To help you start making some progress, today’s lesson is focused around spoken French dialogues just like you would hear on the streets of France — or in this case, at a New Year’s Eve party!

At Comme une Française, we specialize in everyday spoken French. We focus on three unique aspects that are different from school French, self-study books, Duolingo, etc:
1. We focus only on the specifics of speaking/understanding/being understood in everyday French and have unique ways to help you learn it properly & faster.
2. We focus on shortcuts to help you make progress faster, which also means we tell you exactly what you can stop learning to prioritize what’s really important.
3. We use French culture as the subject to make it fun and interesting for adults.


Take care and stay safe.
😘 from Grenoble, France.
