When I was a child, my mum insisted that we went to music school, and I'm so glad she did because it brought me so many things.

I learned music, piano and singing for 10 years and that allowed me to develop my ear, my brain and my pronunciation, all of which makes you better at languages.

I studied mostly classical music but sang in different languages, which was super fun. It allowed me to build my musical education (I now have a very diversified palette!) and that's probably when my passion for music was born too. 🎶💗

If you've been following me for a while, you know that I always recommend to learn languages with songs. Music activates a different zone in your brain, which helps with memory.

Moreover, listening and working on songs can help you improve your language skills in a very powerful way!
Listening to different rythmes and accents, pronunciation, emotions, vocabulary and more.

The body is amazing: my mind can't remember the notes of the songs but my hands start playing and the music flows! So cool to experience 😊✨

One day, your French can be like that too!
You just need to keep practicing and let your French box do the rest 😉🇫🇷

Still wondering what the Fall session looks like?
Let me answer a few of the questions I get the most. 🍂

📅 When is it?
The Fall session runs from October 6 to December 19. We will spend 11 weeks together, with one two-hour French class each week.

🗣️ What will we practise?
We generally practise all four skills during every class: speaking, listening, reading and writing. The balance may change depending on where we are in the program, but the goal is to help you develop your French as a complete language.

💜 How many students are in each group?
There is a maximum of eight students, although most groups are smaller.

A new student recently shared with me that larger classes can feel overwhelming and make it difficult to keep up. This is exactly why I keep my groups small.

You receive more individual attention, have more opportunities to speak and can connect more comfortably with the people learning alongside you. You are not alone, but you are not lost in the group either.

🌿 Are payment plans available?
Yes. There are multiple payment options available, so you do not necessarily need to pay for the entire session at once.

Not sure which group or level is right for you?
The Meet & Greet is simply a conversation, with no obligation to register afterward. We will discuss your background, goals and challenges, complete a level assessment, and determine which option would support you best.

If you would like to explore what your French journey could look like this Fall, comment “MEET & GREET” or send me a DM.

We would be happy to welcome you into our community. 😊

"Il y avait aussi un autre moment important du trajet : le péage.
La plupart des autoroutes françaises sont payantes, alors il faut régulièrement s'arrêter au péage. Et une fois la barrière ouverte... C'était parti pour la Formule 1 !

« Vite, vite, vite ! La voiture à droite va nous dépasser ! »
Mon père devait alors « appuyer sur le champignon » — une expression française qui signifie tout simplement accélérer — pour essayer de sortir du péage avant les voitures voisines. 😂

🏖️ La vie en vacances
Et puis, une fois arrivés, c'était : faire la grasse matinée, prendre le petit déjeuner tranquillement avec des tartines au beurre et du jus de fruit, mettre son maillot de bain, prendre les serviettes et partir à la plage.

Dans le Sud-Ouest, avec mon petit frère, on adorait aller dans l'océan.
Cette année-là, nous avions même un petit bateau gonflable et avec les grosses vagues de l'Atlantique, il nous arrivait de nous faire complètement retourner !

On riait, on nageait, on se faisait balayer par les vagues, on faisait des châteaux de sable...
Et bien sûr, parfois, malgré la crème solaire, on finissait par « prendre un coup de soleil » — autrement dit, avoir la peau toute rouge après être resté trop longtemps au soleil. ☀️

Et après la plage venait souvent un autre grand classique des vacances françaises : prendre l'apéro.
Une boisson, des cacahuètes, des gâteaux apéritifs... parfois tellement de choses à grignoter qu'on n'avait presque plus faim pour le dîner !"

C’est ce genre de moment que je partage dans *Un Petit Moment Français* : une pause pour ressentir un peu de France, ralentir et partager des souvenirs.

Want to practise more French without adding hours of studying to your week? 💜

A few weeks ago, I challenged you to bring more French into your daily life: watch a French movie, write your grocery list in French, read the French side of packages, or switch a familiar app to French.

So... how did it go? 😉

And if your answer is, "Sarah, I haven't done any of that..." — that's okay! Here are TWO new challenges for you.

🎵 CHALLENGE #1: Learn French with a song

Pick a French song you genuinely love and print the lyrics.

→ Start by noticing what you ALREADY understand.
→ Underline the new words and try to guess their meaning from context.
→ Only then, use a dictionary.
→ Create a list of your new vocabulary.
→ Listen while reading, then try singing along while staying connected to what you're saying.

🥣 CHALLENGE #2: Cook something... in French!

Choose something you actually want to cook. It doesn't have to be a French dish—the recipe simply needs to be in French.

Write your grocery list in French and follow the recipe in French.

If you don't understand something, don't translate immediately.

Look at what you DO understand.
Use the context.
Make connections.
Guess.
And only then, use a dictionary if you need it.

Why?

Because every time you do this, you're strengthening your French box (the French "house" we're building in your brain). 🧠

AI can translate something for us in seconds, but if translating is always your first reflex, you're taking away an opportunity for your French brain to work.

The more you use your French box, the stronger it becomes. ✨

And if you'd like to understand exactly HOW you learn, this is your last week to register for the Fall session and receive FREE access to my exclusive live onboarding session, where we'll discover your learning profile and build your learning map together.

💬 Comment "MEET & GREET" or send me a DM to chat about joining the Fall session.

Which challenge are you choosing first: 🎵 or 🥣?

Not getting tired of this one!!

I definitely recommend for your French playlist.
If you don't have one yet, it's time to start! 😉

Songs are an amazing way to practice because music activates a different part of your brain, which helps your brain memorize and builds your listening skill!

I've personally learned so much vocabulary and expressions in different languages thanks to working and practicing with songs.

Go ahead and turn the volume up for your French practice! 😊🇫🇷

Why does Learn French & Thrive only open twice a year? 💜

Not to create artificial urgency.

Not to pressure you into making a decision.

But because this journey needs to be structured and protected for you to get the most out of it.

Learn French & Thrive is a 12-week journey.
There is a beginning and there is an end.

And there is a group of people making a commitment to themselves—and to each other—to show up for the journey. 🌿

We start together, and we finish together. That's how we gradually build trust and create a sacred space where there is room for your fears, your school stories, your limiting beliefs, your struggles AND your breakthroughs.

And I'm making that commitment too.

When I run Learn French & Thrive, I give it my all: my presence, my guidance, the preparation before, during and after the journey, and the flexibility to adapt the experience to the specific people in the group.

Because no two groups are exactly the same. ✨

And when the 12 weeks are over, the journey doesn't simply disappear.
There is time for integration.

Time to practise the tools you've learned.
Time to notice your patterns.
Time to experience French differently.
Time to allow everything you've worked on to settle into your life.

Some people continue with French lessons. Others choose to continue with coaching and French because they want additional support or want to go deeper.

There isn't one path everyone has to follow.
But there IS intentionality behind every part of this journey.

And that's why Learn French & Thrive only opens twice a year.

🌱 This Fall is your last opportunity to begin the journey this year.

If you've been thinking about it and you're wondering whether you're ready, **comment "MEET & GREET" below or send me a DM.**

Let's talk about where you are in your French journey and whether Learn French & Thrive is the right fit for you. 💜

Thinking about joining our Fall session? 💜
I answer some of the questions I hear most often.

💬 "What makes the live onboarding session so special?"
It isn't an extra French lesson. Before we even begin our first class together, we'll discover your learning profile, talk about how adults learn differently than children, and build your personal learning map so you know exactly how to make the most of your French journey.

That's why I'm offering this session **complimentary** to everyone who registers before the end of August. I truly believe everyone deserves to understand how they learn best before they begin.

💬 "Do you offer payment plans?"
Absolutely! I offer several payment options, so you can choose what fits your budget best.

💬 "Do I need to buy books or other materials?"
No. Everything is included in your investment: from your lessons and learning materials to follow-up resources and French immersion activities.

💬 "I don't have anyone to practise French with."
That's one of the biggest advantages of learning in a small group. You'll be surrounded by people on the same journey, and many students continue practising together outside of class.

Over the years, I've even seen wonderful friendships begin in French classes. 😊

If you've been thinking about joining us, this is the perfect time.

✨ Register before the end of August, and you'll receive the invite to our **complimentary live onboarding session**, designed to help you start your French journey with confidence and clarity.

💬 **Comment "MEET & GREET" below or send me a DM**, and let's chat about your goals and whether our Fall session is the right fit for you.

Not because you're perfect, because you're ready for something different.

Maybe you're tired of...
🌿 your mind going blank every time you try to speak.
🌿 apologizing for every mistake.
🌿 believing you're "just not good at languages"

Or maybe you're simply scared to try again after a difficult experience.

If that's you, I want you to know something:
You don't have to arrive confident.
You don't have to have everything figured out.
You just have to be open to a different way of learning. ✨

Learn French & Thrive isn't just about French.
It's about understanding everything happening *around* French: your mindset, limiting beliefs, self-judgment, and confidence, because that's often where the real obstacle has been all along.

This journey isn't for everyone, and that's okay.
It's for people who are ready to stop surviving French and start reclaiming their voice. 🌱

💬 **Comment "MEET & GREET" below or send me a DM**, and let's chat about your story, your goals, and whether Learn French & Thrive is the right fit for you.

"Le repas français est presque un rituel : une entrée, le plat principal, parfois un deuxième plat, ensuite le fromage, accompagné de salade et de pain.

Tu le sais peut-être déjà, le pain est un élément indispensable sur la table française ! Et souvent, on l'utilise pour saucer l'assiette jusqu'à la dernière bouchée. 🥖

Enfin arrive le dessert : une tarte, un gâteau, une mousse, des fruits… et parfois un peu de tout à la fois.

Mais le plus surprenant n'est peut-être pas ce que l'on mange ; c'est le temps que l'on prend. Ces repas duraient souvent quatre ou cinq heures. Entre chaque plat, on parlait, on riait, on racontait des souvenirs.

Les enfants disparaissaient parfois pour aller jouer à un jeu de société. C'est d'ailleurs chez mon parrain que j'ai découvert le Monopoly.

Et puis il y avait les discussions : des discussions passionnées, parfois les voix montaient, on se coupait la parole, on n'était pas toujours d'accord, loin de là.

Vu de l'extérieur, quelqu'un aurait peut-être cru à une dispute. Mais quelques minutes plus t**d, le dessert arrivait… et tout le monde riait à nouveau ensemble. 🍰"
