Thanks to the help of Francais Immersion, I speak French regularly with a native speaker

I studied French during school for 6 years. After graduating high school in 2003, I was very fortunate to be able to travel to France. I remember being so excited because it would be the first time that I would be able to speak French with a native speaker. Unfortunately, that did not happen. I could not communicate orally, and I could not comprehend the spoken language.

This experience left me very frustrated and sad. I believed that I was just not good at learning a language.

In September of 2019, 17 years later, I decided to try once again to learn the French language. I began searching YouTube for advice on how to learn another language. And that is when I discovered Francais Immersion. The first video I ever watched was “Les boites a livres.”

Using the PDF, I followed along to the audio while reading the text. For a whole month! I tried all sorts of different methods to keep things interesting. Sometimes I would just listen to the audio with my eyes closed, other times I would just read the transcript out loud. I would use the context to figure out words I didn’t know, and check myself using a French dictionary to be sure.

And now, five months later, thanks to the help of Francais Immersion, I speak French regularly with a native speaker. I also listen to music and watch movies in French without subtitles and can understand so much more then I did after six years of studying the language during school.

Please do not think that you can’t learn a language. Sometimes the approach that we were taught isn’t the right one. If you’re looking to learn French and think that you can’t, I’m proof that you can. Give Francais Immersion a try, and I promise you will be well on your way quickly to learning this incredibly beautiful language.

Thank you Thomas!

I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning French!

Thomas is so very good at teaching! The way he speaks and describes things, makes it easier to understood a lot of what he was saying without referring to the English translation. Because of French Immersion, I am confident that I will be able to learn French. The suggestions, You Tube videos etc. are also very helpful. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning French!

An amazing and effective way to teach!

An amazing and effective way to teach! Great on its on or in parallel with more traditional approaches. After watching a few repeats the concepts actually stick in my dumb head, making this the best form of teaching a language I have ever done!

Masterfully done!

This is a course that is masterfully done! I thank Thomas for this!

J’ai trouvé le cours très très intéressant.

Salut Thomas. Je suis italien, j’ai regardé par hasard une vidéo sur YouTube. Tu es très clair à expliquer le français. Tu es un dessinateur magnifique. J’ai trouvé le cours très très intéressant. Et puis tu es très sympa.
Tu commences la vidéo Salut, c’est Thomas!
Moi je te dis
Salut, c’est Luigi
Sur la photo c’est moi à Barcelone.
Au revoir

J’ai hâte de regarder toutes vos vidéos !!

Votre cours m’a fait très plaisir. C’est plein d’apprentissage et de divertissement. J’aime bien votre style d’enseignement.
Je suis vraiment d’accord avec vous et je fais de mon mieux pour m’immerger dans la langue. Il y a beaucoup de ressources sur internet mais le mieux c’est d’apprendre français en parlant avec ceux qui peuvent me corriger. Ça c’est le défi.
J’habite à la campagne et c’est difficile de trouver des personnes qui voudraient passer du temps avec moi pour m’aider avec mon français. J’ai un prof (un vrai homme français!) et je vais aux groupes pour la conversation française. Je vais en France pour mes vacances – les vacances immersion, que j’adore. J’utilise Twitter et Instagram, YouTube et des cours en ligne aussi!
J’apprends le français depuis 2 ans et je m’améliore mais je cherche toujours plus d’opportunités pour le parler.
J’ai hâte de regarder toutes vos vidéos !!

Merci pour tous vos efforts et bon courage pour votre travail.

I watch and watch and watch and never get tired.

No doubt, your enthusiasm, the way you talk, tone of your voice, the body language, the text material, the way you create the videos, etc, are so wonderful and rich. I have learned a lot. I watch and watch and watch and never get tired. In short, I love your presentations. Thank you so much.

Je vous soutiendrai sur Patreon dans la mesure de mes moyens.

Ce que j’aime vraiment dans ton plan, Thomas, c’est le 100% français. Cela me force à “m’immerger”. C’est difficile maintenant, mais ce projet devrait me permettre d’apprendre le français par-dessus bord. Merci pour votre travail et votre énergie. Je vous soutiendrai sur Patreon dans la mesure de mes moyens.

Your enthusiasm and energy are contagious.

Thank you for your teaching. I love your YouTube videos. I enjoy watching them.

Your enthusiasm and energy are contagious.
You make learning fun, you are “chévere” “cool”, not boring.
You have one of the greatest qualities a teacher can have: empathy!
You inspire students to learn la langue française. You are an inspiring teacher.

Passionnant, sympa et intelligent.

Thomas est très passionnant, sympa et intelligent qui fait apprendre en s’amusant.
