The struggle
Understanding French is HARD!
When I was 11, I decided I'd be fluent in English by 18 and become a teacher. I learned the whole textbook in the first two weeks of every school year and memorized entire vocabulary books. By 15 I knew all of English grammar by heart, so I asked my parents to send me to the US.
That's when I realized I couldn't understand a word people said.
It's the exact story I now hear every year from my own students. They studied French in high school, in college, at language schools, on apps, even in France. They were drilled on conjugations and vague grammar rules, memorized random words, learned how to order at a restaurant. And still, when a French person opens their mouth, it sounds like a completely new language.
Why most people study French for years… and still can't understand native speakers
It's NOT because they're not cut out for languages. It's NOT because the French talk too fast. And it's NOT because they're too old.
It's because you've been learning in a way that cannot yield results: vague theories, random vocabulary and formal pronunciation.
The real tragedy isn't spending years learning French. It's spending years learning the wrong things.
Grammar explanations that go nowhere
The explanations you get are the same everywhere: vague, sometimes inaccurate theories. Meanwhile nobody teaches you the useful structures that have simply never appeared in a book.
Outdated vocabulary & expressions
The vocabulary you learn is recycled from course to course. Too often archaic or limited. You'll never learn 80% of what you'd actually need in immersion.
Nobody teaches informal contractions
The French drop letters, syllables and entire words when they speak, which alters the sound of everything. Unless you know how those contractions work, French will always sound foreign.

Meet your teacher
Meet who will teach you how to speak French fluently
Bonjour… My name is Alexandre de Chambure.
French teacher, linguist at heart and founder of Language City. After earning a Master's degree in French & English, I taught French at UC Irvine and at the French American School of LA. For 15 years I taught French to Hollywood celebrities and families of heads of states, as well as English to French President Chirac's daughter.
Since 2001 I've helped over 4,000 people, a vast majority of them retirees and semi-retirees, understand and speak French.
Alexandre de Chambure has worked with CEO's, actors & actresses, producers, directors & writers from the following companies and TV shows.
Never too late
"Alex, I'm 64, 73, 85… Is it too late for me?"
My answer is always the same: as long as you have the desire to learn French and the right tools, there's no reason you can't become at least conversational.
Over 70% of my students are between 55 and 95. They do amazingly well.
Each one-hour lesson I did was the equivalent of a whole semester of classes.
