Introducing The Professional Fluency System
This isn’t just “more classes.” It’s a complete learning ecosystem designed for one thing: getting you to fluency fast.
The Problem we Solve:
You’re a professional. Your time is valuable. Yet, traditional, slow-drip language learning fails you because it ignores the #1 rule of fluency: consistent practice. We’ve built a system that solves this.
Designed specifically for:
- UN and NGO staff working with francophone countries
- Diplomats preparing for or already in French‑speaking postings
- Medical professionals who need to work with French‑speaking patients or systems
Why 5 Hours a Week Works When Other Courses Don’t
- Most of our students have taken French before, but lost it between classes, deployments and shifts. Five structured hours a week is enough to:
- Stop the “learn, forget, relearn” cycle
- Turn passive understanding (what you can recognize) into active use (what you can say in meetings, reports and consultations)
- Make consistent progress toward the next CEFR level in a fixed 6-month window
Daily Immersion for Guaranteed Results
Our program is built on the principle of consistent, guided practice. Here’s what your week looks like:
- Daily Core Sessions (1 hour/day, Mon-Fri): You’ll join a small group (2-5 or 6-8 students) for a live session, led by a qualified French teacher. We focus on the language skills you need for professional settings—you bring your expertise, and we’ll provide the precise French tools to express it.
- Built-In Revision & Application: Our method is designed to constantly reinforce what you’ve learned, turning fragile knowledge into robust skill. This is the antidote to the “forgetting curve” that plagues traditional, infrequent classes.

Try the Professional Fluency Accelerator program for the first month. If you feel it’s not a good fit for you, just email us before the end of week 4 and we’ll refund your tuition in full. No questions asked. - What We Ask from You
To make our Fluency Growth Guarantee meaningful, we ask that you:
- Attend at least 90% of live sessions (tracked via Acuity Scheduling + Zoom)

To keep the group moving forward together, we apply these rules strictly.
If you miss more than 10% of sessions or complete less than 90% of assignments/assessments, you will no longer be eligible for the Fluency Growth Guarantee. Since a seat in the cohort has been reserved for you, we may also remove you from the program without refund.
