We proudly present a one-of-a kind educational program for beginners that includes vocabulary, grammar, exercises, dialogue, and much more in the form of a theatrical performance! (https://www.newsinslowfrench.com/series/guts/1/opening) The plot of the play is simple. Valerie, our French tutor, gives one-on-one lessons to beginner students. Valerie has three rules for her students: 1. Complete the assigned lesson on the website and memorize new vocabulary on the flashcards before coming in for one-on-one studies. 2. You can talk about anything, as long as you employ grammar introduced in the lesson. 3. Don't be afraid to switch to English if you don't know how to say something in French - but switch back to French as soon as you can! Follow our heroes from Act 1, with conversation mostly in English, to Act 30, where they speak mostly French! Together with Valerie's colorful students, you will learn the fundamentals of French grammar and expressions. Your vocabulary will expand rapidly and naturally, and your comprehension skills will improve dramatically. Enjoy the characters, their secrets, desires, and motivations to learn French! Follow the 3 Valerie's rules and learn with our students, Michelle, Jack, and Kevin! Bon voyage!

I love listening to this podcast while on long bike rides. The story line keeps me interested and the lessons are relatable and helpful. The progressive nature of slowly adding more and more French dialog happens very naturally. It has really helped me with my vocabulary and pronunciation. It’s a great tool!
I have found this podcast to be the very best way to learn by listening and then reading the transcripts compared to Babel or Pimsleur. I enjoyed the story lines and characters. Good fun!
The sexist and insensitive language is cringeworthy at best (episode 2 describes someone as “retarded”). It’s like it was written in the 1980s. If you can grit your teeth through all that, it’s a very effective program.
An extremely effective resource! I enjoy listening to and practicing the exercises when I'm taking longing drives.
