What you'll learn

Leo froze in front of a Paris price tag that said "dix-huit euros" — he couldn't read it, couldn't say it, and just smiled and walked away. Sound familiar? This episode fixes that forever.

Camille (your French teacher) and Leo (learning right beside you) take you from zero to twenty in French — with every sound broken down: the nasal vowels, the silent letters, and the liaison trick that makes dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf click instantly. Then you level up to real life: saying your age the French way ("J'ai vingt ans" — never "je suis vingt"), asking prices ("Ça fait combien ?"), and reading phone numbers in pairs like a local.

Made for complete beginners (CEFR A1). Zero experience needed, zero grammar tables. Speak out loud with us — in your car, on your walk, in your kitchen. Nobody is judging.
