Always wanted to learn French but worried you’d be lost in your first class? I created French from Zero to give you a place to start. You’ll spend 12 Thursdays with me and the same small group of complete beginners, with up to 12 learners. We’ll start with your first bonjour and build on what you’ve learned each week.

Starts 14 January 2027. Thursdays, 6–7 pm Melbourne time. AUD $399 for 12 guided classes and a year of Bonjour Mate Home, with access from enrolment. The course goes ahead with at least eight enrolments.

Start from zero, with someone to guide you

You’ll get the full roadmap at the start, so you’ll know where we’re going and how each lesson builds on the last. I’ll show you how French sounds and how to put a simple sentence together. Then we’ll use what you’ve learned in a real situation, like introducing yourself, ordering a coffee or asking for directions.

In each class, I’ll show you an example first and give you time to practise before you’re invited to share. You can ask questions as we go. The aim is to help you build the foundations and feel comfortable taking your next step in French.
