CafeJe voudrais un café et un croissant, s'il vous plaît.I'd like a coffee and a croissant, please.

Why Saylore

Built for French, not generic.

Pronunciation that actually clicks

Nasal vowels, the French r, liaison — Saylore listens and corrects the exact sounds that hold you back.

Tu vs vous, handled

The tutor models the right level of formality for who you're talking to — a friend, a stranger, a boss.

Passé composé vs imparfait, made simple

Two past tenses, one clear method. Drilled in real stories until the choice is automatic.

Subjunctive without panic

Introduced gently from B1. By B2 you'll know when to use it without having to think about it.

French FAQ

Common questions about learning French

Does Saylore help with French pronunciation?
Yes. The tutor listens to your speaking practice and points out the specific sounds — nasals, the r, liaison — that you should work on.
Is the French course CEFR-aligned?
Yes. Every level from A1 to C2 maps to the Common European Framework of Reference, with goals and level checks for each.
When does the subjunctive show up?
It is introduced from B1 and built across B1, B2 and C1, so it lands gradually rather than all at once.
