How our classes work
Every Monday morning, you’ll receive an email detailing the courses and activities available during the week. You can then add the courses that interest your to your calendar.
The classes are usually 60 minutes long.
Classes are designed in a way that so recording also stands alone on its own! You’ll get all the notes and can listen or watch these classes as podcasts.
The classes are entirely in French but I can give translations of words in English.
If you’re at a conversational level (A2+) these classes are for you. You don’t have to speak fluently to join. Feel free to participate, or just listen and wait until you’re ready to speak.
I keep adding new activities and classes as the community grows.
What makes me different as a teacher is that I’m a language student myself who has successfully learned English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese and now learning new languages.
You might know me from my Instagram account, where I have almost 30K followers
I grew up in a French-speaking part of Quebec.
At the age of 12, I discovered that I could learn a language on my own, and I did so with English and Italian.
From the age of 20, I learned Spanish, German and Portuguese.
I then pursued a career in web marketing.
But in my late thirties, that passion returned.
I went back to university to study modern languages.
For a few years, I gave over 3000 private lessons on Italki to hundreds students, with a five-star rating. Here’s what some of my clients have said about my courses
My passion is to teach Quebec French the same way I learned languages
That is, through reading and active listening.
I base my methods on Stephen Krashen’s Comprehensible Input theory. I am a firm believer that the human brain is wired to learn languages through comprehension— not through memorization and the study of grammar rules (although those have a place!).
Does that sound good?
Let’s get your French to the next level!
I’ve put a lot of time into learning those languages, and I didn’t always have the right resources.
I understand the hurdles and the difficulties!
When creating my membership French With Frederic, I wanted to create the kind of resources I would have wanted to have as a language student.
A focus on content and culture
Lots of classes and opportunities to practice
Help with reading books and understanding movies
A constant source of motivation
I created French With Frederic with all the resources and coaching you need, along with a focus on Quebec French and culture. There’s nothing quite like it out there, and the price can’t be beat.

French With Frederic members get more for their money than with any other group classes, memberships, private lessons, etc.
But here’s something more.
I’ve been working on the following program for more than six months.
This course presents a unique methodology to teach Quebecois French.
To teach Quebec French, I decided to use one of the most well-known books in the French language. Le Petit Prince, by St-Exupéry!
I have adapted The Little Prince, or “translated it” — into Quebec French.
But that’s not all.
It’s formatted as a course.
Each chapter is recorded, with a Quebecois accent.
Every change, new vocabulary and new grammatical structures are explained.
There’s a complete video presentation to explain the main aspects of Quebec French.
You’ll also have access to the complete audiobook of Le Petit Prince en québécois.
This course will allow you to
Understand Quebecois French
Become familiar with the main differences that make Quebec French so particular
Acquire important Quebecois vocabulary
