About The French Club

Hi. Welcome. I’m François Normandeau, founder of The French Club.

We have over 7,000 members in 17 MeetUp groups around the world (New York, Paris, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Dallas, Montreal, Atlanta, Mumbai, Chicago, Sydney, Toronto, Washington DC, Tokyo, Vancouver).

If you want the same thing most adults want, a clear path to real, practical French you can actually use when speaking, then this is the right place!

And your free gift is ready: the full A1 French course (50 modules), now available on our platform. It’s the equivalent of 1,200+ pages of explanations, examples, exercises, and homework, with extras like audio and video to help you build pronunciation and real speaking reflexes. No catch, no gimmick, no obligation, no credit card needed.

Start here:

To unlock it, two quick steps:
1. Create your account.
2. Enroll in the Free Plan (the A1 course is included in the free plan, but it requires enrollment).

Step-by-step guide (account setup + free A1 enrollment):

The goal is momentum, not perfection.

What The French Club is

The French Club is a global community of French learners with live events on Meetup and a structured learning platform on frenchclub.net.

We focus on real-world fluency through:

• Structured courses from A1 to B2 (50 modules per level).
• Skill workshops that fix the real sticking points (pronunciation, listening speed, writing accuracy, confidence, etc.).
• Conversation events (A1 to B2), including practice sessions and student-led events.
• Small-group immersion experiences.

Meetup is where you’ll discover and join live events.
Our site frenchclub.net is where your learning path is organized in one place (courses, materials, and enrollment).

See you at an event soon !! ツ
