A French teacher, exercises online and by email, five minutes a day

The name comes from Proust, and from the little cake too. A madeleine is eaten in three bites, with coffee, before the day begins. A French exercise should be the same.

On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, you receive an email with exercises.

The method

I.The saint of the day

The vocabulary of Saint Anacletus’s day, the conjugation of Saint Protus’s day, Little Red Riding Hood on Saint Adrian’s day. The names come from an almanac of 1714: it’s a calendar, and it’s also one more little story every time.

II.Short, and done

You can see the end from the start, and when it’s over, it’s over: nobody will chase you to come back tomorrow so as not to lose something.

III.Nothing to write, or everything to write

In the Jeu-Clic app, you tap buttons and slide cards with your fingertip. On paper, the full worksheet, with dotted lines and a pen.

A change from the apps

What you won’t find here

No streak to keep, no little flame that goes out if you miss a day. Nobody will congratulate you for clicking. Instead: exercises written one by one, engravings drawn one by one, and a real teacher.

This is for you if

You are learning French

You are a beginner, or coming back to it after twenty years. We start with numbers, and with the words we use every day.

You speak it, but you hesitate

You make yourself understood, and that’s no longer enough. The right word, the agreement, the nuance: that’s where it all happens.

It’s already your language

You refuse to let it grow poorer. You come for rare words and expressions you no longer hear.

No perfect level is required. All you need is the wish to learn, to understand, and to play a little with French.
