Helping English speakers to sound more French & connect more confidently with native speakers through easy to access courses, workshops & online membership.
Want to learn how to sound more French?
Do you dream of sounding more French?
Would you love to be understood more easily by native speakers?
Do the perculiar spellings and sounds leave you feeling tongue-tied?
Are you fed up with your attempts to speak French being met with a Gallic shrug, eye-roll, or, worse still, a reply in English?
Are you finding that despite months or years of study, you struggle to understand everyday French?
Does it seem to you that native speakers talk at the speed of lightning and smoosh all the words together! Oh là là !
Learning French is a life-long journey…
You’re not alone!
The reality is it takes lots of time, plenty of exposure, regular practice, and, of course, bucketfuls of dedication to learn a new language – it’s comparable to learning an instrument or training for a marathon – for life!
However, the journey can be made enjoyable and fun with a teacher who simplifies the whole process!
How amazing would it be if this teacher (who knows exactly how it feels to be an anglophone trying to sound more French!) could share with you their top tips for making the right sounds – stuff they’ve spent years discovering and practising! What if they then linked these sounds to spellings of frequently used words, everyday expressions, cool phrases, idioms, and popular French culture?
If you’d love to learn how to sound more French then “bonjour et bienvenue !” – you’ve landed in the right place!
I know exactly how you’re feeling, as I’ve lived through the same frustrations. I can’t wait to share with you the techniques that I used to help me improve my French pronunciation.
Salut ! Je me présente…
My name is Frannie and I help English-speakers to improve their French pronunciation so they can start to sound more French, connect more confidently with native speakers and enjoy their time in France to the max, whether they live there, or visit frequently for business or holidays.
Pronunciation and everyday expressions are my jam and I love sharing what I know to help others become their best French-speaking selves!

What learners are saying…
“An inspirational teacher and so encouraging! The most obvious (benefit) is that my French speaking skills are getting better petit à petit. I am getting to grips with the way French is really spoken (including verlan)”
“A fun 2 hours spent on a Saturday afternoon! Go for it!! Unless you’re completely fluent you’ll definitely learn something and you’ll have fun as well!”
“Frannie teaches real French that you would use when visiting the country and also helps you to develop your accent…all in a fun way. Frannie is an excellent teacher and I am very glad I found her. I have learnt so much from her and have massively developed my French speaking skills.”
“Prior to starting … I had studied at school and using an online app. I felt I could understand a fair amount of French, but lacked confidence in speaking. The main benefit I’ve found is with regards to confidence in speaking and pronunciation. Frannie is excellent at teaching and makes the lessons enjoyable as well as educational.”
“I was feeling frustrated by my lack of confidence speaking French and feeling that many real-life scenarios were out of my reach when I am in France, simply because I can’t make myself understood. You bring humour and ease to classes which makes learning relaxing and enjoyable. I’m really appreciating the gentle way you are building my knowledge…I love your humour and energy.”
“Fran is a fabulous teacher…she’s so motivated it’s infectious.”
