Learn Travel French... Go Beyond What Most Tourists Do...
On your own schedule. At your own pace.
Real French for Travelers Complete Online Course gives you that freedom. Learn from someone who’s been in your shoes, not from a corporation.
It’s easier than you think to become operational in basic travel French, especially with short, clear videos that’ll show you exactly how to say things and what it all means. Imagine how that will change your trip!
Choose among three options:
The complete course, the Basics (Foundations of Travel French), which is the first part of the course, or
go deeper with Situational French: Beyond the Basics. If you're not sure, you can start with Foundations, then add on Situational French later.

Why Learn Travel French?
You won’t have to ask, “Do you speak English?” anymore, and won’t that feel good? (You’ll love it. And feel proud of yourself.)
Read road signs and menus, ask for directions, ask for help if you’re lost or have a problem, or even strike up a simple conversation with a French person.
You don’t have to be fluent to do all that. You can learn a basic French framework and build as you go.
What’s even better than a phrasebook?
Real French, that’s what.
Real. Isn’t that better? Especially when it comes to communicating with other people.
(By the way, they love it if you make the effort to learn their language. You’d feel the same way.)
Real French for Travelers: The complete online course. Or the basics. Or Part 2, if you’ve had some French.
Whichever you choose, it’s yours to keep. Review, practice, and master (all for less than 3 lessons with a private tutor) in as little as 8 weeks.
Unlike other French programs, Real French for Travelers is designed specifically for travelers.

What students say about the course
This training provided the right topics at the right pace for me to learn French. The videos are like having a class, but have the advantage that one can review as much as one wants. Kyle explains the topics very clearly. Besides her natural teaching talent, I also think that the student benefits from her many years of teaching and of course her personal experience living in France.
Cris L.
Real French for Travelers online course is such a great guide in making me feel comfortable with learning a new language and gaining skills to confidently travel to France! I've tried a few other resources, but this one was the most comprehensive and easy to follow for a beginner. It's well laid out, the workbook and exercises are helpful, the pronunciation is clear and easy to repeat, love the vocabulary cheat sheets and travel tips.
Shanna B.
This online course focuses on the useful aspects of the French language and does so in an approachable way with a combination of audio, slides and downloadable worksheets. Each lesson is highly focused on a particular topic and is just the right length - short enough to keep the student's focus but long enough to ensure mastery of the particular concept being covered. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking for an easy, cost effective way to master practical conversational French.
Quentin S.
I liked the time spent elaborating on situations, regarding when we should use words and expressions, etc. The phonetics were awesome and so accurate! That helps me sooooo much. I was very happy to see that! Each individual lesson flowed very well, technically.
Yvette B.
The format is easy to navigate (user friendly) and the curriculum is easy to follow. Also, I love the workbook. It makes it so “hands on” rather than just listening. Following the curriculum in the workbook is a real bonus. It can also be an excellent refresher for those who have not studied French for some time. This course will make your visit to Paris much more enjoyable without the angst of not having years of French study. Bon voyage!!!

Learning Travel French is easier than you think! Especially if you take it step-by-step.
I had the joy of living in France for 13 years. Since that time, I've been teaching French to adults and teens in a variety of settings. (And I taught English in France too!)
I can teach you to be operational in French for your next trip to France, whether for vacation or business. You'll be proud of yourself as you speak in restaurants, with locals, and anywhere you go on your trip to France!
I have a France-only website, Oliver's France, full of destination ideas, tips, and resources.
