You probably know more French than you think

 

But knowing French and actually using it are two very different things.

You might understand more than you can say.

You might be fine when you’re reading or listening, then freeze when someone asks you a question.

You might keep telling yourself you’ll speak more French when you’re more confident.

And that sounds sensible, but it’s usually the thing keeping you stuck.

Because confidence doesn’t arrive before you start.

It grows because you started.

That’s what this Sprint is for.

What is the 5-Day Speak More French Confidence Sprint?

The 5-Day Speak More French Confidence Sprint is a free challenge designed to help you use more French in small, manageable ways.

Not perfect French.

Not impressive French.

Just real French.

Each day, you’ll get a simple mission to complete, with different stretch levels so you can take part whether you’re just getting started or already having conversations in French.

You’ll be supported inside our free Skool community, alongside other French learners who are also trying to get braver, more consistent and less stuck in their heads.

This is for you if…

  • You’re learning French but don’t use it as much as you’d like.

 

  • You understand more than you feel able to say.

 

  • You get nervous about making mistakes.

 

  • You keep putting off speaking, messaging, asking questions or joining conversations.

 

  • You’d like a friendly push to use French in everyday life.

 

  • You want encouragement without pressure, judgement or anyone making you feel silly.

 

  • Because honestly, feeling silly is already doing enough damage on its own. It does not need a committee.

How it works…

The Sprint takes place inside our free Sound More French Skool community.

On Saturday 11 July, the Sprint area opens and you’ll be invited to introduce yourself.

On Sunday 12 July, we’ll settle in, get to know each other and make sure everyone knows what’s happening.

From Monday 13 July to Friday 17 July, you’ll get one small mission each day.

Each mission will have three stretch levels, so you can choose the version that feels right for you:

  • Just Getting Started  Ready to Push Yourself

 

  • Getting More Comfortable

 

  • Ready to Push Yourself

The aim isn’t to do what everyone else is doing.

The aim is to stretch yourself a little further than you normally would.

The 5 daily missions

Mission 1: The French Footprint

Notice how much French is already part of your day.

Mission 2: Ask A Question

Practise asking a simple question in French.

Mission 3: Let Us Hear Your French

Take a small step towards speaking out loud.

Mission 4: The French Mistake Party

Get more comfortable with the fact that mistakes are part of learning.

Mission 5: The Confidence Sprint Finale

Look back at what you’ve done, celebrate your progress and decide what comes next.

There will also be a celebration session on Friday evening so we can finish the week together.

You do not need perfect French to join

In fact, please don’t wait for perfect French.

We’ll be waiting forever, and none of us have that kind of time.

You can join if you’re a beginner.

You can join if you’ve been learning for years.

You can join if you live in France, visit France, dream of France, or simply want to feel less awkward when French appears in real life.

The point is not to prove anything.

The point is to practise using what you already know.

What you’ll get

A new French confidence mission each day for 5 days.

Simple stretch levels so you can choose your own challenge.

Encouragement from Judith, Frannie  and the Sound More French community.

A place to share your wins, ask questions and see that you’re not the only one finding this tricky.

A gentle but useful push to stop hiding behind “I need to learn more first”.

Because yes, learning more helps.

But using what you already have helps too.

And that’s the bit most people skip.

You don’t always need to learn more to speak more!

Not long to go...

About Judith…

I’m Judith, and I work alongside Frannie in the Sound More French community helping people feel more confident using French in real life.

Not just learning lists of words.

Not just understanding grammar on paper.

Actually using French, in conversations, messages, questions, travel, daily life and those slightly panicky moments where your brain decides to leave the building.

The Sound More French community is here to give you encouragement, support and practical ways to keep going.

The 5-Day Speak More French Confidence Sprint is a simple way to begin.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

Is the Sprint free?

Yes. The Sprint is free and takes place inside our free Sound More French Skool community.

Where does it happen?

Inside Skool. Once you join the community, you’ll find the Sprint area and the welcome information there.

Do I need to be good at French?

No. You just need to be willing to have a go. There will be different stretch levels each day, so you can choose what feels right for you.

What if I miss a day?

Just jump back in. Please do not disappear because you missed one mission. Life happens, French continues, nobody is getting detention.

Do I have to speak on video?

No. Some missions may invite you to stretch yourself, but there will always be options. The aim is progress, not panic.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Yes. It’s also suitable for people who have been learning for a while but don’t use their French as much as they’d like.
