Fluenz users working at Harvard, Google, the UN, and Apple know the value of our thorough approach, if only because French is too beautiful and complex for games and picture-matching apps. This is why the Navy’s Special Warfare Command uses our program.

WHY FLUENZ FRENCH

Three reasons Fluenz French is unique.

1. Human Touch

Fluenz French is the only major program with hundreds of video-explanations tailored for English-speakers. Fluenz offers a unique path through French while Rosetta Stone, Babble and Ouino believe that Chinese speakers and English speakers, for example, should learn French in exactly the same way (which allows them to sell the same program globally while ours only works for English-speakers). Fluenz French is the ideal option for English-speakers who are serious about learning French.

2. Comprehensive Approach

While watching some YouTube, practicing with Duolingo and following Slow News can be helpful, reaching fluency in Parisian French takes much more than that. Our comprehensive, serious approach 1) explains the inner-workings of French, 2) provides a path for English-speakers to reach verbal fluency and understanding of French, and 3) connects understanding and real-life practice through our extensive workout and flashcard platforms.

3. Real Results

For over ten years Fluenz has been the leading provider of serious language learning programs for those committed to reaching Fluency. Countless reviews, our loyal customer base, our founders’ upfront commitment and our real-life immersions. Alone among digital companies, Fluenz puts its program to the test with some of the world’s most sophisticated learners at its face-to-face Immersion.

THE MOST ADVANCED FLUENZ FRENCH, yet.

F7 is the latest iteration of the world’s most sophisticated French-learning program.

The new version offers hundreds of updates made throughout the French pedagogical sequences, and upgrades to the iPhone and Android apps. It also involves the reconfiguration of our cloud platforms for interactive content.

French 1 has been designed to prepare you for the most important and common situations you’ll face in the French-speaking world. At the same time, you’ll develop a strong foundation in how the language actually works, allowing you to go beyond simple stock phrases to actually building sentences yourself. This is a serious introduction to the language.

Right from the start, you’ll begin working with powerful structures and key vocabulary so that you can build useful French sentences. After only a few sessions, you’ll already be having meaningful interactions in a restaurant, and soon you’ll be shopping, making plans with friends, getting around a city, going out for entertainment, and making travel arrangements with confidence.

You’ll build upon these skills through practice with key verbs and adjectives, so that you can express your needs and desires in diverse situations with considerable detail. As you learn how to use possessives, pronouns, and form future tense sentences, you’ll expand your range of communication while adding an important level of depth to your interactions. Further work on location along with important commands will round out your introduction to the French language, leaving you well-prepared to dive into your experiences in the French-speaking world.

Level 2

Solidify your foundation and begin to acquire the tools for more serious engagement.

REAL-WORLD SITUATIONS YOU’LL ENGAGE IN:

French 2 picks up where the first level leaves off, deepening your grasp of the fundamentals through new verb tenses and conjugations, an expanding vocabulary, and a broad range of other key parts of the language. By the end of French 2, you’ll have begun to make substantial inroads into becoming a more serious French speaker, ideally preparing you for moving on to a more intermediate level.

You’ll begin perfecting your verb conjugations in the very beginning, including both past tense and important irregular verbs. From there, you’ll continue to build upon the structures learned in French 1, so that your journey through this second level leads to more complex and meaningful interactions in restaurants, travel agencies, stores, and with friends. You’ll buy clothing from boutique stores and a cell phone for your trip ; you’ll enjoy local cuisine at restaurants, and visit museums with friends. And as your ability to express location—along with giving and understanding directions—grows, you’ll find yourself thoroughly prepared for navigating any French-speaking city or neighborhood.

As with all Fluenz programs, these critical scenarios provide the setting through which your grasp of the language’s fundamentals is steadily developed. By enhancing your ability with the central topics covered in the previous level (such as articles, pronouns, verbs, and genders), you’ll solidify your foundation in the language. Meanwhile, the introduction of new structures and vocabulary (such as new adjectives, comparatives, and superlatives) combines with more serious responsibilities, such as going to the doctor and handling office tasks, preparing you to engage more seriously with the French-speaking world.

By the time we arrive at Level 3, the foundation has been set for a pivotal moment of growth.

It also addresses topics that allow you to express a much wider range of emotion, from opinions and preferences to wishes and desires, or even obligation, as well as to adapt your speech to all types of speakers and interactions.

These areas of the language fit perfectly with the situations you’ll find yourself in as you journey through the level. As you learn how to use reflexive verbs and indirect objects, you’ll hold conversations about your family and childhood, cultural issues, interests, and more. By the end of the level, you’ll know how to address issues of season and climate, open or close a bank account, and handle more complicated issues.
