Understanding is the key to fluency
Have you ever felt stuck in a conversation because you didn’t catch what was said?
That’s because you can’t respond if you don’t understand.
Understanding is the foundation of every conversation.
It’s the first step to:
Speaking confidently—because when you understand, the right words come naturally.
Building fluency—listening trains your brain to think in French.
Feeling connected—understanding French means you can truly join the conversation.
Understanding is the foundation of every conversation.
This is exactly how you learned your native language as a child:
-
You didn’t start with grammar rules—you listened, absorbed, and made sense of what you heard.
-
With time, your brain connected the dots, and speaking came naturally.
Mastering French comprehension works the same way:
Understanding isn’t just a step—it’s the step.
Once you master it, everything else—speaking, confidence, and connection—falls into place.
But despite all your efforts and hard work, understanding real-life French conversations still feels out of reach? Keep reading to find out why!
Can you relate to this?
.png){kind=small}
You understand me pretty well, but when other French people speak, it's a struggle.
You often find yourself thinking, ‘Was that even French?’ when listening to fast conversations.
Watching French movies or TV shows without subtitles? Almost impossible.
You’ve practiced for hours, but it still feels like your understanding level is not where it should be.
The reason why you can't
understand French people
Spoken French is SO different from the French you learned in the classroom!
Spoken French: Chuis crevé.
Classroom French: Je suis fatigué.
Spoken French: Y'a un p'tit film sympa au ciné.
Classroom French: Il y a un petit film sympa au cinéma.
Spoken French: Ch'trouve pas mes clés, où est-ce que je les ai foutues ?!
Classroom French: Je ne trouve pas mes clés, où est-ce que je les ai mises ?
Spoken French: T'entends c'bruit chelou ?
Classroom French: Tu entends ce bruit bizarre ?
Spoken French: Ché pas c'qu'i veut.
Classroom French: Je ne sais pas ce qu'il veut.
Spoken French: J'ai la dalle !
Classroom French: J'ai faim !
Spoken French: Donc du coup, kestu fais st'aprèm ?
Classroom French: Qu'est-ce que tu fais cet après-midi ?
Spoken French: Passe-moi l'sel steup
Classroom French: Passe-moi le sel s'il te plaît
Spoken French: T'inquiète, iz ont rien vu.
Classroom French: Ne t'inquiète pas, ils n'ont rien vu.
You probably already know that in spoken French, we often drop the "ne" in negations (je ne sais pas → je sais pas) and the "il" in "il y a" (il y a un chien → y'a un chien)...
But there's so much more to spoken French!
We drop letters, we shorten words, we bend grammar rules, we link words... And those nuances of everyday French aren’t usually covered in the classroom!

In this 8-week program, you’ll follow a clear, step-by-step roadmap that will help you understand real-life French with ease.

In this course for you?
The course is perfect for you if

You’re a highly advanced learner who already follows French movies, TV shows, and conversations with ease.

Salut, c'est Elsa !
I was born and raised in France. A few years ago, I started teaching French to my boyfriend, Doron. What first started as a way to help him communicate with my friends and family became a real passion. It is so fulfilling to help someone learn a new language, and I can't wait to help you!
I believe that language learning should be fun and interesting to be effective. This is exactly why I created the Piece of French YouTube channel in 2019 and the Piece of French Club. Through videos about real-life topics, learn French as it is actually spoken by real people, and gain new vocabulary in context while improving your comprehension and speaking skills!
