REACHING AN INTERMEDIATE LEVEL IN FRENCH
JUST BECAME AS FUN AS WATCHING NETFLIX!

Learning the basics of a language is one thing. That’s what I do for my YouTube videos most of the time. Becoming really good at a language is something else.

Kind of like how I spent years in a (figurative) monastery learning French. But that’s a story for another time!

Anyway, it kind of requires a different approach!

An approach that requires you to spend more time with the language...

But let’s be honest, unless you’re a language geek like me, you don’t enjoy spending hours learning words and grammar rules from old-school textbooks, right?

No worries!

We’ve created a brand new program that will help you reach an intermediate level in French the fun way.

The program comes in the form of a funny, gorgeously produced video series that takes place in Toulouse, France. It’s based on a mind-blowing story full of surprises!

It’s almost as captivating as watching your favorite Netflix show! But this program will actually make you “Street-Smart” in French!

Hear me out…

‘’I speak some French but I can’t understand native speakers who speak FAST’’

So maybe you’ve already learned some French.

You’ve tried it out in the real world. You know how cool it is to break the ice with strangers from different backgrounds.

But as you know, talking to French speakers in their language can get tricky fast.

‘’Wow, what did he just say? That went a little fast for me!’’

So you just smiled and pretended like you understood!

We’re all guilty of this, right? :-)

No worries, you’re not the only one…

DON'T BE FOOLED
REACHING AN INTERMEDIATE LEVEL IS HARD!

If you’ve been following my work on the XiaomaNYC YouTube channel, you probably know what my learning method is all about.

In case you don’t…

I always learn the most important words and phrases first. Then I start forming simple sentences that I make gradually more difficult over time.

I really focus on learning the opening moves first, just like in a chess game! And I always practice what I learn with native speakers, because that’s the only way to activate the language in your brain.

That’s how I manage to talk to people from different backgrounds in their own language after just a few days of study.

But there is one BIG problem with this method…


They say that ‘‘what gets you from zero to one is often not what takes you from one to ten.’’ In language learning it’s the same thing.
You see, if you want to hold a meaningful conversation in your target language, you also need to understand what the other person is saying.
And that can be a problem if you only know the most important words!

The solution?




You need more input.
You need to read and listen more often in your target language. The world’s most accomplished language learners would agree with this.
One problem: reading and listening is boring.
Until now…

INPUT-BASED LEARNING MADE FUN!

We’ve created a series of brand new French courses for those who’ve studied some French before and now want to reach an intermediate level.

This time it’s based on an exciting video series full of surprises and unexpected plot twists!

The story follows a young woman who travels to France to visit her grandmother. Upon arrival, things don't go as planned, and she finds herself in serious trouble. Fortunately, a young local barista offers to help. She is delighted – until she finds out there’s something, well, wrong with him...

We recorded the videos in the beautiful city of Toulouse, France, working with a team of local filmmakers and actors. That means that you won’t just take your French to the next level, you’ll also get to explore a new country, its people and its culture!

Yep!

That’s right, “input-based learning’’ (learning through reading and listening) just became fun!

And that’s important because the more fun you have when learning French, the more time you’ll spend with the language and the more progress you’ll make!

Enjoying the learning progress is crucial when aiming for an intermediate level. We've designed Street-Smart French so you always want to know what will happen next!

Look, let me introduce you to...

MEET THE CHARACTERS

Alright, so up till now, we’ve been talking about the methodology. But let’s do what I like to do, skip the boring stuff, and have a look at the main characters of the video series.

Sound more fun? 😉

Louise

Louise grew up in New York and is almost bilingual, though she doesn't really know it yet. Louise loves fashion, food, and making friends. She thinks of herself as independent yet always seems to need help.

She has traveled to many places before, but she’s going to France solo this time, with no real plan as she likes to live spontaneously and on the wild side.
Jules

Jules is Louise’s opinionated and often sarcastic brother. Jules is lazy and hates having to do anything that affects his normal routine.

Jules loves to make fun of his sister, but he really admires her self-confidence (though he would never tell her that!). He has traveled much more than Louise, making him a cocky know-it-all.
Paul

Paul is a local French barista who instantly becomes friends with Louise. He is intelligent, resourceful, and loves to help anyone (mostly Louise).

Paul has many talents and is self-determined and unafraid to try anything. Jules is a little jealous of Paul and often covers it up by making fun of him.

AND MEET ANTOINE...
YOUR PERSONAL VIRTUAL GUIDE!

We get it, French can be tricky. Especially the pronunciation! And there’s only so much you can learn from observing by yourself how the language is spoken.

And even though we break down in written form all the grammar and vocabulary that come with the course, sometimes some extra guidance from an expert can be helpful, right?

That’s where Antoine comes in!

Antoine is French but nowadays he's working in London as a certified French teacher.

Together, we created walkthrough videos for each lesson. Antoine will walk you step-by-step through all the dialogues and give in-depth explanations of all vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar features.

You’ll almost feel like you’re in a virtual classroom with Antoine as your private teacher, where every single line of dialogue is clearly and simply broken down and explained. It was very important for me to have an expert teach these lessons, because how else could I guarantee you the learning experience I want you to have?

Not only that, but you’ll also be able to comment on all the lesson content.

And because we really care that our students understand the material, not only do we read every single comment, but my team and I also usually reply!

What others are saying about my Street-Smart Courses...

''Taking this Spanish class in retirement was one of the best things I ever did! The class was so much fun and it was made easily understandable. And it gave us the "opening chess moves" to start a conversation when we meet Spanish-speaking people. I loved every minute of it and learned so much!''

​​Diane - USA
''Loved this Spanish course, it was a fun and easy way to learn another language.''

Laurie - USA
''I loved this Spanish course. It is tailored to each individual to complete as much as they want, when they want.

The modules are informative and perfect for day to day Spanish. This interactive course is definitely better than a book or a tutor.''

1. THE 30-PART VIDEO SERIES!

Each level comes with ten videos that tell part of the story. The entire video series was shot with professional actors and filmmakers in Toulouse, France. The first few videos are pretty easy to follow, but the words and grammar will gradually get more difficult as you progress through the level.

Each video includes English and French subtitles to make sure you understand every single word and don’t get lost.

2. VIRTUAL GUIDANCE WITH ALFONSO

Master all aspects of the course with Antoine as your virtual guide, walking you through every lesson’s vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar features.

3. NATIVE AUDIO RECORDINGS

4. LESSON NOTES FOR SELF-STUDY

Are you spending too much time in front of a screen? Print the worksheets and review the dialogues, key vocabulary, and grammar. You can also use the lesson notes to review a particular lesson without watching the entire walkthrough videos.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this program and the French Foundations course?
This is an entirely new program. Although the course structure is similar to the Street-Smart Foundations course, this new series is based on an entirely new video story filmed in France. Although there is some overlap with the words and grammar, this follow-up program is a bit more challenging and mainly for those who’ve studied French before.
I'm a complete beginner in French, is this course for me?
If you're a beginner in French this program could be a bit tricky. However, if you're up for a challenge you could still try the French intermediate program.

We have a great instructor for the French course who makes everything easy to understand. If you find that the materials are too difficult, just let me know within 30 days and I’ll give you your money back, no questions asked!
Can I just buy one level?
When does the course start and end?
The course is now open for enrolment. Once you sign up, we'll immediately give you access to the course and you can get started straight away.

No! The course is yours and you’re free to work through it as slowly or as quickly as you’d like.
Will I lose access after a certain amount of time?
No! The course is yours forever!
What if I’m terrible with languages?
I’ve personally taught many students who thought they weren’t “smart” enough to learn a foreign language and then ended up shocking me and themselves by being able to speak that language.

As any polyglot will tell you, learning a language isn’t rocket science. If you put in the time and effort, it will come.
What if I don’t like the course?
While we’ve put a huge amount of time and effort into making a course that we feel really proud of, if after purchasing you realize it isn’t right for you, we offer a full 30-day, money-back guarantee. No questions asked!
Is there a payment plan?
Yes! You can get the 3-level bundle on a 6-month payment plan. You only pay $45 dollars per month. That means that you save $28,50 per month. Click here to sign up!
