What Our Members Say
From isolation to confidence - real stories from our community
After two years in the CFSC I can look back at my progress and forward at my continued path and see how much we are building here. It's life-changing to give yourself permission to say 'I speak French,' and it's wonderful to have made so many real CFSC friends from all over the globe.
~Anne
United States 🇺🇸
I love that the speaking opportunities are varied in both type and content. Having the opportunity to participate in that level of variety is something I have never experienced before, with the flexibility to opt in or opt out. I'm in control, I choose the pace.
~Julie
Scotland 🏴
I've been a member of CFSC for just over a year. It gives me the chance to bring the language I love so much into my daily life in a very real meaningful way. As a result of the nurturing I have received during the past year, I now feel confident enough to say 'Yes I can speak French'.

You should be able to have basic conversations (e.g., say who you are, where you live, and ask others similar questions, and understand responses) and find yourself stuck when you can't use all the language you've already succeeded and putting in your head. If you can't do this yet or this isn't your challenge, this program isn't right for you.
You'll get access to member-led speaking sessions, 24/7 community access, daily accountability, immersion challenges, and native speaker interactions.
You decide your own pace. Some members spend 15 minutes daily in the community, others participate in multiple sessions per week. The beauty is you can adapt it to your schedule - perfect whether you're retired, preparing for retirement or in full time employment.
French isn't a race, it's a journey. We focus on practical progress over perfection, helping you have real adult conversations rather than chasing an abstract idea of 'fluency' and building French into your life so you progress forever rather than in short bursts.
Speaking with other learners is actually a crucial stepping stone to managing conversations with natives. You'll learn from others' experiences and solutions in a supportive environment.
We specifically focus on building confidence for English speakers at intermediate level. Unlike native teachers or apps, we understand exactly where you're stuck because we've been there ourselves.
Unlike generic learning tools, we provide practical methods for overcoming real problems in French, plus 24/7 community support from others who understand exactly where you are. This combination of practical tools and support is what finally breaks through that intermediate plateau.
Many of our members are retired or approaching retirement. Rather than seeing age as a barrier, they've found that having structured support and a community of peers actually accelerates their progress. Remember: it's never too late to become the confident French speaker you want to be.
Can't I just join later? What's the rush?
While you could wait, ask yourself: how many more French conversations will you miss? How many more times will you feel that frustration of having the French in your head but not being able to express it? This journey is about progress, not perfection, and there's no better time to start than now.
Private tutoring (around €4,320/year) often lacks community support and accountability between sessions. Plus, native teachers, while excellent, don't always understand the specific challenges English speakers face with confidence and fluency.
