Daily bite-size lessons that help you build French-speaking habits
What I like the most about the program is that all my tutors are native speakers. They do help me not only understand the French language, but also the culture and the nuances of some words and expressions. And mostly, the live sessions are engaging and fun.
As a busy mom and professional, learning French has been complicated for me. But since I started learning with Get French Classes, I have seen my French improve FAST. Through the lessons, I not only get to practice every day, but I also have more opportunities than before. I can practice with my advisor, private tutor, and other learners like me.
I chose Get French Classes because their teaching materials and content are incredibly rich, going from everyday expressions to more specialized ones. I also get many opportunities to interact with tutors, and that has a huge impact on my fluency.
Meet your instructors:
The course instructors are different from the tutors. Tutors are the ones who run private and group classes. Instructors, on the other hand, are the creators of the daily video lessons that you'll be receiving on a daily basis.
At Get French Classes, we design structured learning plans and use them to create courses and lessons that get you speaking in weeks.
Meet some of your future tutors:
The tutors are from all over the globe. So, whatever your location or time zone, you'll find a tutor for your needs. This is just an overview of some of our French tutors. If you want to see more, check our French tutors page.

Course schedule
Daily lessons
From Monday to Friday
Everyday, you'll receive 1 to 2 video French lessons. Each of these lessons contains one unique French notion for you to learn. After watching the videos, you'll take on your daily assignment, which is comprised or writing and speaking tasks. Once you submit your assignment, a learning advisor will review it and share their feedback with you. This helps you build a daily habit of practicing French.
2 private classes
From Monday to Sunday
The private French classes last 45 minutes each. It's highly recommended to watch the daily videos and take your assignments before hopping on your private class. The videos prepare you in advance for the class and make your private session smooth.
1 group class
From Monday to Sunday
The group class is where you get to meet and practice with 5 other learners from around the world. The group classes are essentially meant for practice, so they'll be all about debates, sharing your experiences on a given topic, or telling stories.
I've tried learning French on my own before, but nothing compares to this program. The combination of video lessons, live tutoring sessions, and group practice made learning French enjoyable and effective.
