❓ FAQ — Learn French with French to English

Is this for complete beginners? 🌱
Yes — it’s built for A0 to A2 learners, including people who literally know zero French. We explain everything in clear English, use real-life phrases you will actually say on trips or in conversations, and build your confidence step by step with short, focused lessons. Native audio and simple exercises help you understand faster, speak earlier, and remember what you learn instead of just memorising lists.
What’s inside the A1 Foundations guide? 📘
The A1 Foundations guide is a complete starter pack: PDF + audio, pronunciation basics explained in plain English, and around 400 essential words and phrases organised by theme. You get clear grammar for the present and past tenses, practical dialogues you can reuse in everyday situations, and step-by-step explanations instead of dense theory. Each unit has exercises with answer keys so you can check yourself, plus a simple 12-week study plan that tells you exactly what to do each week so you never feel lost. Right now, we also offer a special €25 promo: you get the full A1 Foundations guide plus a free 25-minute 1:1 lesson with a tutor to review your goals, check your current level, and build a realistic plan to upgrade your French.
How does the free 25-minute planning lesson work? 🎟️
When you get the A1 Foundations guide with the €25 promo, you also receive a free 25-minute lesson with a patient native tutor. During this session, we do a quick level check, ask about your goals (travel, work, exams, confidence) and look at your schedule. Together, we build a simple, realistic plan to bring you up to A1 and beyond using the guide, audio and short routines. You book the session online after your purchase, and you can reschedule with 24-hour notice if something changes in your calendar.
How do I book lessons and handle time zones? 🌍
You simply choose a tutor and pick a time that already appears in your local time zone — no need to do the math yourself. Our booking system automatically converts time zones for both you and the tutor so everyone sees the correct time. Right after booking you receive a confirmation email with the video link, a calendar invite, and a reschedule link, plus a reminder before the lesson starts so you don’t forget.
Can I reschedule or cancel a lesson? 🔁
Yes. You can reschedule for free up to at least 24 hours before the lesson start time, directly from your confirmation email. If you cancel or do not show up with less than 24 hours’ notice, the lesson is charged so that tutors can keep their calendars fair and stable. If there is a serious problem or emergency, just contact us and we’ll review your case and see how we can help in a fair way.
Do I need any materials or software? 💻
You only need the PDF guide (if you choose to use it), the audio files, and a stable internet connection. A basic microphone and headphones are recommended so your tutor can hear you clearly and you can focus on pronunciation. We use common video tools that run in your browser or with standard apps, so there is usually no complicated software to install. You can join lessons from a laptop, tablet, or even your phone if needed.
Are lessons recorded? 🎥
Recordings are completely optional and only made with your clear consent. If you choose to record, the video is stored securely and available for about 7 days so you can rewatch key explanations, vocabulary and pronunciation tips. After that, it is automatically removed. You can also ask us to delete a recording earlier at any time if you change your mind or prefer not to keep it.
How long to reach A1 level? ⏳
Most motivated learners reach A1 in around 12 weeks with 30–45 minutes of study per day using the guide and audio, plus one weekly lesson for speaking practice. Your exact pace depends on your native language, your previous experience with languages, and how consistent you are with review. We give you realistic routines, checklists and short wins so that A1 feels like a clear, achievable goal instead of something vague.
Refunds and guarantees 🛡️
For guides, you have a 14-day refund window as long as you have not completed more than about 20% of the material — this lets you try the content with low risk. For lessons, bookings are non-refundable less than 24 hours before the start time, because your tutor has reserved that slot for you. If something feels wrong, if there was a technical issue, or you are unhappy for any reason, contact us and we’ll review your situation and try to find a fair solution.
How are guides delivered? Is the Library affiliated? 📩
Your guide is delivered instantly by email with a secure download link for the PDF and the audio files, so you can start studying within minutes. If you don’t see the email, remember to check your promotions or spam folder and add us to your contacts. Our Library also includes some Amazon affiliate links to books and tools we genuinely recommend — if you buy through those links, Amazon sends us a small commission at no extra cost to you, which helps us keep creating free content.
