NOUVEAU ! · STARTS MONDAY 16TH OF NOVEMBER 2026
30 days to stay in the conversation, even if fast French has always left you behind.
Your French isn't the problem. It's learned from apps and textbooks that wait for you. Real people don't.
Fix that in 15 minutes a day of listening, with no grammar and no exams.
One payment. No subscription. Money back if you're not keeping up better by Day 30.
Enrolment closes Sunday 15 November.
The moment
You know the 'nod'.
Someone speaks to you in French at full speed. At a counter, on the phone, over the garden wall, in a film, across a family dinner table.
You catch the first few words. Then something goes by too fast, your mind snags on it, and by the time you look up, the sentence has gone.
Perhaps they switch to English. Perhaps you nod and hope for the best.
You know the words. Play it back later, and you'd probably get there. It just didn't arrive in the moment.

learners tested
The same pattern showed up at every level: the replay helped. The knowledge wasn't missing.
The real reason
Why this was never about your French knowledge
Nobody trained you to catch the reply at full speed. And nobody showed you what to do in the half-second after you lose the thread.
There's a quieter part too. Going in worried about missing things tends to make you miss them.
Part of what shifts over these 30 days is how you walk into that moment.
What you know
What you can follow
The method
The French Click
15 minutes a day of real, full-speed French,
until it starts reaching your ear in the moment.
It's the listening method Alex uses with private students, built for you to do on your own.
Picture Day 30
By Day 30, you're with them. Not three words behind.
Day 1
The phone rings and it's the garage, talking fast. A neighbour stops you with news. A friend's cousin tells a story at dinner.
A character in a film says something that makes the whole room laugh.
Day 30
You won't catch every word. Nobody does, not even native speakers. But instead of the panic, you're following along.
You know where to listen, you hear the bits that used to slip past, and when something gets away from you, you're back in by the next sentence.
Day 30 is Tuesday 15 December. Just in time for Christmas dinner.
Not another app or course
Everything else waits for you. Real French doesn't.
That's why years of study haven't fixed this.
Apps
Slow, clean audio and a replay button. Great for learning words. No help when someone talks at full speed.
Learner podcasts
Slowed down and explained for you. Real people don't talk like that.
Classes
Your teacher speaks clearly and waits for you. Then you leave the room.
The French Click
Real French at full speed from Day 1. You learn to keep up with it, instead of waiting for it to slow down.
You don't need more French. You need practice with French that doesn't wait.
How it works
15 minutes a day, on your phone. Here's what happens.
Know where to listen
The detail you need tends to arrive in a predictable place and shape. You'll learn where to point your attention.
Hear the squashed bits
A handful of everyday chunks get worn down at native speed: chais pas, y a, j'suis, faut qu'. You'll start hearing them instead of letting them slip past.
Find your way back in
When you miss a bit, let it go, catch what comes next and use it to fill the gap. Instead of switching off.
A typical day
Hear a fresh clip once, at full speed.
Alex shows you where to listen.
Loop the bits that slipped past.
Play it again and notice what's changed.
Bonus: listen for today's sound in any French you hear that day.
Have a listen
Play it once, the way real life gives it to you.

Two paths
Built around the French you already hear
Path 1: Living in French
Pick this path if you live where French is spoken. The counter, the phone, appointments, the neighbours.
Path 2: Everyday French
Pick this path if you live anywhere else. Conversation, family, travel and French on screen.
Same method, different scenes. You choose on Day 1.
Across the 30 days
- Four weekly themes, with catch-up days built in
- A weekly check on a clip you've never heard
- The same test on Day 1 and Day 30, so you can see your progress
- Comments under each day, so you're never doing it alone
Is this for you?
Made for you if you think written French and spoken French are like 2 different languages
This is for you if…
- You've studied French for a while and know more than you can follow
- You understand it when it's written, or on the replay, but not the first time
- You nod along, switch to English, or let someone else take over
- You live in France, or you meet French through family, travel or TV
- You can give it 15 minutes on most days
This isn't for you if…
- You're a total beginner. Start with the basics, then come back
- You want grammar lessons or vocabulary lists
- You want a speaking or conversation course
- You expect to understand everything after a week

WHY IT WORKS
Less theory. More reps. Now it's your turn.
Let's be real. For me, understanding spoken French is about 20% theory and 80% listening reps. That's how I learned it. It's how my private students have got there for [YEARS] years.
The reps never needed me in the room. They're the part you do yourself. The French Click gives you those reps: 15 minutes a day, for 30 days.
Now it's your turn. And if you're not keeping up better by Day 30, you get your money back.

The idea behind it
You're not learning new French. You're learning to hear the French you already know, while it's being said.
That's why the replay helps, and why the gap closes faster than you'd expect.

You should already know some French and be able to read it reasonably well.
If you're a total beginner, start with the basics and come back. This course is for people who know more than they can follow.

Real life only plays it once. For 30 days, we'll train exactly that, together, a little each day.
