Stop worrying about sounding "perfect" in France. Start speaking French with confidence.
You've been dreaming about your France trip for months (maybe years).
You've tried Duolingo. You've watched countless YouTube videos. You might have even taken a class or two.
But when you imagine yourself actually speaking French in Paris — ordering at a café, asking for directions, buying train tickets — you simply freeze up!
Yikes!
What if you say it wrong?
What if they don't understand you?
What if your accent is terrible?
Here's the truth: You don't need perfect French to have an amazing trip to France and beyond.
You need to Get Ready... — the practical phrases, confident pronunciation, and real conversation skills that work in actual French cafés and train stations.
And you can learn the essentials in just 2 hours!
Here's What Is Possible ...
Imagine this... You walk into a Parisian café. The server greets you in French.
Instead of panicking and pointing at the menu you smile and say: "Bonjour! Je voudrais un café crème, s'il vous plaît."
They Respond. You understand. You respond back. (oooooh, look at you!)
You order exactly what you want. You Pay. You Say thank you.
You did it. In French. Like it was no big deal (you go sis!)

What Makes Get Ready... Different?
Sound-First, Grammar-Later
We start with pronunciation — it's the foundation that makes everything else easier to understand and interpret. You'll learn the key French sounds that English speakers struggle with the most, plus my personalized "funky spelling" guides that make French feel natural and easy.
Focus on the essentials you need to enjoy your trip
The key vocabulary lists you need to succeed
Laser focused on the two most wanted skills travellers want when travelling - ordering food and navigation
No memorizing the same five words over and over again like "un chien, une banane et une pomme."
Bonus 1 hour optional live session to practice what you've learned and communicate with other Get Ready students. In 60 minutes, you'll practice the scenarios that matter for your dream trip like: ordering coffee, asking questions, navigating train stations.
The "Connective Tissue" You're Missing
"Even though I can pull out the words, it's the connective tissue that I miss — those words that allow you to have conversation."
— Debbie, Pop Up French student - THIS IS A DUPLICATE QUOTE ON THE SALES PAGE
We teach you the linking words (parce que, alors, donc) that make your French flow more naturally instead of sounding choppy.

Beginner-Friendly, Travel-Focused
Designed for A0 to A2 level learners or in other words - "Super Beginners" and "Upper Beginners."
Everything is relevant to your trip: cafés, transportation, asking for help, handling real situations!
