Course Description

MASTER THE ESSENTIALS OF FRENCH IN A MATTER OF WEEKS, NOT YEARS!

NO BORING "STUDY", ONLY NON–STOP SPEAKING.

The method allows you to:

► Speak French, non-stop, from the very start.
► Produce thousands of practical phrases for daily use.
► Painlessly absorb grammar and vocabulary.
► Progress without effort, without the need to memorise or "study" in the traditional sense.

ALLOW THE METHOD TO GET TO WORK - ON YOU!

"Tell me and I will forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn ." (Benjamin Franklin)

LA MÉTHODE will allow you to use and understand basic French in a matter of hours, without the need for memorisation or lengthy explanations. This is achieved through a carefully designed method that builds up and practices the language, step by step, until you are able to form relatively complex sentences with ease.

From the very start, you will be speaking your own sentences, effortlessly absorbing structures without even realising it. The method guides you through basic French in a motivating and stimulating way.

LA MÉTHODE  does not teach you theory, it teaches you to speak French and helps you achieve this in much less time than traditional methods.

LEARN NATURALLY AND RAPIDLY

In LA MÉTHODE as in real life, learning is a continuous process, not a series of separate topics. Each new word or structure is preceded by a clear and precise introduction. The process continues as the students use the new word in a variety of different contexts. Repeated exposure to new words and structures over time, in a wide variety of situations and associations, means that these are acquired for life.

HOW DOES THE COURSE WORK?

LA MÉTHODE, level 1, consists of 20 video lessons of spoken French. After every lesson there is a series of written exercises as well an optional musical task.

We will engage you in a spoken dialogue that requires no pen and paper. Just talk, talk and talk. You won't stop speaking French from start to finish. This is the ideal system for beginners to learn French. 

My goal with LA MÉTHODE  is for you to become "hooked" on the course, thereby mastering basic French as quickly as humanly possible.

Best of luck!

Instructor Details

Peter Hanley


Hi there, my name is Peter Hanley. I am so glad you have found me!

I love giving my students an exciting and rewarding experience as they take their first steps in a new language.

Over the last 25 years, I've helped over 150,000 language learners using Accelerated Learning techniques. Now I'd like you to experience the same results with THE METHOD.

THE METHOD courses provide an exciting and effective approach to language learning for beginners:  A proven method dramatically reduces the time it takes to get the basics down. By the end of the 4 levels of these courses (FRENCH/SPANISH), in as little 8 weeks from now, you will have a full understanding and a practical usage of basics.

This is achieved without the need for laborious memorisation or "study " associated with conventional courses, and will have you speaking, NON-STOP right from the word go.

I look forward to helping you reach your language goal.

To your progress,

Peter.

Super tempo, and a rythmic style of reading, answering and listening. The content seems to stick well in this method. I did already 2 Spanish courses and I was happy to find the French one. Thanks!

Very good course that covers the foundations of the French language, easy to learn and understand the language from this course. I am looking forward to the next course being released.

By Mah Asombang on 1/15/2020

My experience with this course was insightful and practical. However, my queries were never attended to during the duration of my participation so that could be better. Merci!

By Tracie Campbell on 12/7/2019

I love the course it really got me up to speed for my trip to France. I’m very disappointed because he says in the course that it’s part 1 of 4 courses but I can’t seem to find the past 3 courses and now I’m trying to find a program with similar techniques.

By Erno Csoka on 10/25/2019

I really like The Method. It's brilliant and the best way to learn any language, I think. I have found it when I used to learn Spanish and I am happy with the French course too. I can't wait for Course 2. Please carry on :)

By Adiv Abramson on 7/2/2019

Ce cours est formidable! Les leçons sont très interessants et informatives et practiques. Chaque leçon contient des mots utiles qu'on peut les utiliser dans conversations avec des amis et des collègues. Je trouve ce cours facile et divertissant. Merci!

I've done Peter Hanley's Spanish course and I really like the format. He teaches you how to construct sentences, rather than just parroting the audio like some courses do. I really like that it has a really clear, simple format - the new words are written on screen, you repeat them, you are asked questions, given the answer as audio and then see it on screen. I really like that he was a native speaker, Marion, so you can check your pronunciation, and I like that this has a transcript at the end of the course. Also, it's fun! Peter adds a bit of humour and I have enjoyed taking the course. The course goes at a slow steady pace and doesn't rush. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is I'm not sure if it is enough to learn French on its own - I am also using Living Language French to get more background on vocab, verb conjugation etc. but this is a really fun supplement and I would definitely recommend.

By William Williams on 4/15/2019

Really good course! I have learnt more in the first 3 lessons than I did in 5 years of French lessons at school. Would highly recommend this course, think I'm going to give the Spanish a go once I've finished. I really like how the course tackles the most important things first like how to ask for a beer!

By Liz Ford on 4/15/2019

I enjoyed the experience and I made good progress in every lesson. I particularly like the way the course is structured, giving the opportunity to practice and re-cycle language while also adding new vocabulary and structures at each stage. I love the use of the native French speaker Marion for me it just adds to the authenticity. Highly recommended.
