About GoodFrenchTips — Learn French the Real-Life Way

GoodFrenchTips is a modern learning platform created by French teachers in the U.S., designed to help English-speaking adults practice real French — through conversation, culture, and community.

Originally launched as a blog sharing tips from French classes at the Alliance Française de Los Angeles, GoodFrenchTips has grown into a vibrant, teacher-led space for learning and connection. We focus on real-life conversations, Franco-American cultural insights, and a human-centered community that supports your journey toward fluency.

What Makes Us Different

• 🗣️ Conversation practice designed by real teachers — with natural, clear audio and culturally relevant prompts.
• 🇺🇸 Content made for Americans learning French — cross-cultural explanations and practical, everyday usage.
• 👥 A live community with WhatsApp groups and a Monthly Zoom Session (first Thursday): French current events — presentation + open discussion to practice in real time.
• 🗞️ Weekly newsletter with curated blog posts, French expressions, and audio clips.

Who We Are

GoodFrenchTips was founded by Violaine de Landes, a Paris-born French teacher living in California since 2016. Violaine teaches at the Alliance Française de Los Angeles and holds a Master’s degree from La Sorbonne. She created GoodFrenchTips to extend her classroom online — and to help students stay engaged and confident between lessons.

Today, the platform is developed by a small team of passionate teachers and cultural contributors, united around one idea:

💡 French is not just a language. It’s a lifestyle you can live, practice, and enjoy — even from the U.S.

Start Now — Simple, Human, Effective

Whether you're preparing for a trip to France, refreshing your skills, or finally committing to your French learning goals, GoodFrenchTips makes practice simple, engaging, and truly enjoyable.
