Learn French, differently
Learn French from zero to immersion.
One platform, one journey.
A French learning platform that guides you through the hardest transition — from studying French to actually living it. Four levels, live guidance, and a community that grows with you.
01 · Grammar
Start with structure.
Over 50 clear video lessons, one topic at a time, level by level, in the order you need them.
Every lesson comes in two videos: the course explains the grammar step by step, then the immersion shows it in real French. With each one:
2 PDFs: key takeaways and vocabulary
An Anki deck: flashcards with audio

Mon premier voyage en TGV
Day 17 · A2
Le mois dernier, j'ai pris le TGV pour la première fois. Je suis parti de Paris pour aller voir mon frère à Marseille.
J'ai acheté mon billet sur internet deux semaines avant le voyage. Le jour du départ, je suis arrivé à la gare de Lyon très tôt, parce que j'ai eu peur de rater le train. J'ai regardé le grand panneau des départs et j'ai trouvé mon quai.
Je suis monté dans la voiture numéro douze et j'ai cherché ma place. Une vieille dame est venue s'asseoir à côté de moi. Nous avons discuté un peu, et elle a partagé son chocolat avec moi.
A short French text every day, at your level, to practise reading: over 120 texts in all. A little every day, and your French takes off. Each text comes with:
- Its audio, to listen while you read
- A comprehension quiz with instant feedback
- A PDF: the vocabulary and a sentence breakdown
- An Anki deck, 18 cards with audio

3 one-hour live sessions every week, and I run every one of them: I teach you, you ask me your questions, and we speak French together.
Two reading and grammar sessions, one for A1–A2 and one for B1–B2, where we read a text together and I explain the grammar in it. Then a free discussion with a Q&A, open to every level.
Depending on attendance, the schedule may change to suit everyone's availability.

Philosophy
Why “Liminal”?
Liminal means threshold — the space of crossing from one side to another.
Learning a language isn't really about vocabulary or grammar. It's a door. On the other side of that door is a culture, a way of thinking, relationships and experiences you simply cannot access any other way.
The journey
I did it. We'll do it together.
I made the jump myself — from classroom methods to learning Japanese through immersion, up to JLPT N2 (roughly CEFR B2). I never considered myself a “gifted” learner: what got me there was consistency, not talent. I'm not observing your journey from the outside — I'm on the same road, a few steps ahead.

Q&A
Before you start
Not at all. The A1 level starts from absolute zero — no prior knowledge needed. If you already have some basics, you can start at the level that matches where you are.
Apps like Duolingo are great for building a habit, but they keep you in "study mode" indefinitely. Liminal French is built around a clear progression — from structured grammar to real immersion — with live sessions and human guidance at every step.
Being intermediate means it's time to change your approach — and that's exactly what Liminal French is built for. At B1 and B2, grammar study starts to hold you back more than it helps. The shift is toward immersion: real French, real speed, real topics. It's the same jump I made learning Japanese, and it's the one I want to help you make in French.
My philosophy is consistency over intensity. There's no magic number — what matters is finding a rhythm you can actually stick to, without burning out. Even 20 minutes a day beats a two-hour session once a week. Once you've built a solid habit, we can work on going deeper and faster. But always step by step.
Yes — every live session and book reading is available in full replay inside the platform. You can watch at your own pace.
Yes, monthly plans can be cancelled at any time with no fees. Annual plans give you access for the full year from the moment you join.
Honestly — it depends on where you start and how consistently you practice. Liminal French gives you the structure and the content, but the progress depends on you. What we can say: the path from A1 to B2 is clear, and you won't get lost along the way.
