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

We have over 9,000+ members in 22 MeetUp groups around the world.
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.

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

Many of our members begin with the free A1 course, attend a few Meetup events, and eventually join our small-group programs or immersion experiences.

The French Club is a global community of French learners with free 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.

See you at an event soon !! ツ
