Introducing:

Simple, Practical French for Real Life in France

A step-by-step, beginner-friendly course for English speakers in France.

Inside, you’ll learn the exact words and reusable phrases you need to manage daily life, without drowning in grammar or endless vocabulary lists.

Here’s what’s waiting for you inside:

Help! Rescue Strategies & Everyday Greetings

👉 You will learn greetings, introductions, and simple “rescue strategies” so that you can connect quickly in social situations and avoid awkward or embarrassing moments when you don’t understand.

💡 So you’ll be able to relax and feel at ease when talking to people, instead of worrying about how to show you haven’t understood or how to ask someone to repeat themselves.

I Can’t Say It! Pronunciation in French

👉 You will learn how to pronounce tricky French sounds, endings, and letter combinations so that you can be understood straight away, without that confused “huh?” look from native speakers.

💡 That way, you’ll be able to join in conversations without fear, say what you mean clearly, and feel the relief of being understood immediately.

Who Am I? Giving Personal Information Clearly

👉 You will learn to spell your name, share your phone number, address, and date of birth so that you can handle everyday situations smoothly — from the doctor’s office to the town hall.

💡 You’ll be able to give your details confidently and avoid the embarrassment of struggling over the basics.

An Appointment Please! Making & Changing Appointments on the Phone

👉 You will learn how to make and change appointments confidently, using days, dates, and times so that you can stop relying on others to make calls for you.

💡 The result? You’ll be able to take control of your own schedule, feel independent, and manage phone conversations with ease.

Can I…? Asking for Things Confidently in Everyday Situations

👉 You will learn the exact phrases for shops, cafés, the market, the post office, the doctor’s, and even the garage so that you can ask for what you need and understand the replies.

💡 Which means you’ll be able to go about your daily life in France with confidence, knowing you can manage transactions without feeling lost or dependent on others.

What Does It All Mean?! Making Sense of French

👉 You will learn how to pick out keywords, spot liaisons, and use context clues so that you can understand both spoken and written French, even if you don’t know every word.

💡 And you’ll be able to keep up in real conversations, make sense of signs, and deal with paperwork without feeling overwhelmed.

Bonuses:

🎁 Bonus #1: The Practical French Companion Workbook (€27 value)

👉 You will get a printable workbook filled with exercises, dialogues, and role plays so that you can practise real-life situations and reinforce what you’ve learned.

💡 This means you’ll finally be able to step into conversations without hesitation and enjoy everyday life in France without second-guessing yourself.

🎁 Bonus #2: 30 Days Access to The Everyday French Circle (€27 value)

👉 You will get one month inside Louisa’s private group so that you can ask questions, practise short conversations, and connect with others on the same journey.

💡 This means you’ll be able to stay motivated, get accountability, and feel part of a supportive community while you learn.

📘 You’ll also get one month of brand-new teaching material that goes a little deeper into clear, practical grammar for real communication.

✏️ This means you’ll start building strong foundations, so that you can move beyond the basics with confidence and make steady progress.

Unlike apps or grammar-heavy classes, Simple, Practical French:

  • Teaches you phrases you’ll reuse in multiple situations (less to memorise, faster results).

  • Gives you clear explanations in English, not confusing rules.

  • It was designed by a qualified teacher with 20+ years’ experience — who also lives in France and knows exactly what you need right now.

Here’s what past students have said:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

- Susan

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

"Having lived in France a while, and not progressing with my French, I knew I had to do something more than Duolingo and Babbel. I signed up to get Louisa’s cheat sheet and thought it was so well done that I looked into classes. They are fun and enjoyable and make me feel like it’s possible to learn French."

- Tamara

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

"This course is an absolute essential for anyone who intends to spend several or more years in France. Louisa is a confident, experienced teacher who is able to give students the confidence they need to speak basic French in their everyday lives. The lessons are interesting and entertaining."

- Geoffrey

“Louisa has such a fantastic way of teaching — she’s really made French click with me! I’m actually confident enough to speak now. I’ve had a few different teachers but Louisa is definitely the best.”

- Katie, Student

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

"Being able to converse in French was a priority when we decided to move to our pretty French village from New Zealand in 2024. How to achieve it was the problem, and the Simple, Practical French digital course was the answer. It’s easy to navigate, full of clear, practical content, and backed up with great resources and a brilliant workbook. I love that I can start a new lesson or revisit an old one whenever it suits me. It really takes away the angst of learning a new language and has definitely built my confidence when speaking French."

- Helen, Living in France

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

"The Simple, Practical French course — and the brilliant bonus workbook — have been superb. I never learned French at school, so I was muddling through on the odd phrases I’d picked up here and there since moving to France. I always felt there were big gaps in my understanding, but this course filled those gaps perfectly. Even better, it gave me real confidence by revisiting things I did know — just in a clearer, more structured way. It’s easy to navigate, full of practical content, and it’s been a total game-changer for me."

- Tony, Living in France

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

"My wife and I made the permanent move to France last year. Being a part of the community is very important to us and learning some French would really help us with that. Joining Louisa’s classes as total beginners has been great. We both really look forward to our weekly lesson. Louisa’s lessons are always engaging, fun, and useful, and the online resources mean learning can continue at home. Everything we’ve learnt has been a huge help in our day-to-day life here in France. Her years of teaching experience are evident, and we can highly recommend Louisa and ‘The Little Language School.’"

- Geraint

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

"Having been learning French since arriving here 6 years ago, Louisa is the first proper French teacher I have been to, and what a difference! She knows how to teach, and although I don’t go to the class with thoughts of ever mastering French, I always leave with plenty of enthusiasm and confidence. Each lesson brings new words, phrases, and an understanding of what I once thought was impossible. Louisa’s lessons are engaging, useful, and full of encouragement. She is highly recommended, and I’m very glad to have found such an experienced teacher."

- Simon

"I started learning French for beginners September 2023. Since I have joined, my self-esteem has been boosted, thanks to Louisa's teaching methods. I can seriously say, best decision I have made since moving to France."

Hi, I'm Louisa

I’ve been a French teacher for over 20 years in the UK, and when I moved to France in 2022 I quickly saw first-hand what’s really needed to feel at ease here.

Through working with hundreds of expats, I’ve seen exactly what happens — you know a bit of French, but in the moment you freeze. That’s why I’ve created simple, practical ways to help you speak with confidence in real life.

Now, through Simple, Practical French for Real Life in France, I help English-speaking expats feel confident, independent, and at home in France.

Who This Is For (and Not For)

This course is for you if…

  • You’re an English speaker living in France (or preparing to move) and you’re starting from zero, or you’ve only got the very basics and feel rusty.

  • You want to feel confident using simple phrases in real everyday situations like shopping, appointments, or chatting with neighbours.

  • You prefer a step-by-step course with clear explanations in English and practical phrases you can reuse straight away.

  • You’re ready to practise regularly so the words stick and become second nature, helping you feel at home in France.

This course is not for you if...

  • You’re already comfortable holding everyday conversations in French and want advanced grammar or higher-level skills.

  • You’re looking for something academic, heavily grammar-focused, or structured around exams rather than daily life.

  • You prefer quick tips or one-off lessons instead of a guided course with practice and repetition.

  • You don’t currently have the time or motivation to practise a little each week and apply the lessons in real life.

You’ll have lifetime access, so you can go at your own pace and revisit the lessons whenever you need.

How much time will it take for me to complete and see results?

The course has 6 modules which you could complete in 6 weeks. But you don’t have to wait until the end get results — you’ll be able to use what you’ve learned straight away. The more you practise these phrases in real life, the more natural they’ll feel and the quicker they’ll “stick.”

Will this really work for me if I’ve always struggled with languages?

Yes. This course is designed to be simple, practical, and focused on the essentials. You don’t need to memorise endless grammar — you’ll just learn the phrases you actually need to get by day-to-day in France.

Can’t I just figure this out on my own?

Of course there are books, apps, and other ways to learn French. You might have already tried them! The difference is that this course focuses only on the phrases and situations you actually need to communicate now — so you can start speaking with confidence instead of spending months buried in grammar rules.
