This class is designed for upper beginners. You have had some French experience in the past or you think you are “kind of” a beginner and you want to move on!
Build a strong French foundation. Each session is unique. You will:
- Listen to me telling you a compelling story;
- Read the story and deepen your understanding;
- Narrate the story by retelling it in your own words.
You will internalize vocabulary and sentence structures naturally. You will also strengthen your ability to think in French, and you will build confidence in expressing yourself without overthinking grammar rules.
No pressure to speak! As French comprehension expands and expands, talk will spontaneously appear. ” Speaking is a result of language acquisition and not its cause.” (Krashen, 1985).

The class is designed for adults, but is also open to high school students.
Classes will be recorded, so you can watch at your leisure if you need to miss a class.
You will need to download Zoom (free) in order to attend. We will send you a link before the first class.

What Alice’s students have to say:
“Alice Ayel is the best teacher I have ever had. She is a sweet, fun person and excellent at allowing us to find the language gently. I will work with her forever and a day.”
“This class is a bright spot in my week!”
“Alice makes class so fun and interesting and she’s very kind and patient. I’m actually learning, which I’ve never really had before, even with years of French class! The approach used to teach is amazing. So glad to not be writing out verb conjugations!”
“The stories are very helpful in enabling me to listen more and understand the words in a conversational form and not just vocabulary that I am trying to piece together.”
“I love having a small social outlet and stretching my brain during the pandemic, the weekly exposure to French language, and learning about French culture.”
“I am very happy with this class. The content is rich but also understandable. Alice is a great teacher. It is also fun that the students in the class are from all over the world.”
“I love the no-pressure approach!”
