You’ve Spent Months on French Apps.
You Still Can’t Order Coffee.
Let’s Fix That.

I’m Roger. I failed my B1 exam twice. Because French textbooks are written by people who were born French and have zero memory of what it’s like to be confused by “être” vs “avoir.”

After failing twice, I figured out what English speakers actually need. Now I teach 203+ students the method I wish someone had taught me: clear English first, then French. No textbook confusion. No fake promises.

⚠️ THE PROBLEM

Why You’re Still Struggling After Months

It’s not your fault. The method is broken. Here’s what’s different.

Your Teacher Was Born French

They don’t remember struggling. They can’t explain why “de” appears everywhere. I failed twice before figuring out what English speakers need. That lived experience is the difference.

“Most teachers forgot confusion. I remember every frustrating moment.”

English First. Always.

French grammar in French is like math in Chinese. Every lesson starts in English. I explain WHY using English comparisons. Then we build French.

English explanations
English comparisons
No French-first confusion

Real Timeline. Real Results.

“Fluent in 30 days” is bullshit. Real: 6-12 months A0→B1. But you WILL have conversations in 3-4 months. My students average 8 months to pass DELF B1.

Real data: 87% pass rate DELF, 8mo avg A0→B1.

⏰ Every month you wait is another month not speaking French.

You could be having conversations in 4 months. Passing B1 in 10 months. That timeline starts today or it starts never.
