ABOUT GÉRALDINE
Hi! I’m Géraldine Lepère, the founder of Comme une Française (= “Like a French woman”) and your new French best friend. :)
Each Tuesday, I share a fun, fresh and bite-sized lesson on French language and French culture-from embarrassing mistakes to avoid to pop-cultural references to “get” !
For over five years now, with millions of views and students in over 56 countries, I’ve been helping people just like you gain the confidence to really talk in French. And better than the “textbook” French from high school!

  • I really love how you set up this ‘summer camp’, c’est vraiment chouette!!! My favorite part of this lesson was learning how to ask people to slow down when they speak. It’s difficult to understand because it come natural to them, but some words aren’t clear when I try to hear them.

  • dropping the „ne“ is such a huge thing! I heard the t‘inquiete a lot and from just hearing, I thought it means don‘t worry but I wasn‘t sure because I allways thought it needs a „ne“ because u say „don‘t“ and not do worry :,D When I askd someone french what it means I even pronounced it wrong like taquete - so this person first said this word doesn‘t exist! such things are kinda depressing - happy that I found this channel! thank you :-)

  • I have just started to learn, as I want to relocate to France from Germany soon, and your energy and easy to follow videos make it so much more exciting to learn my 4th language!! Thank you so much to make the pronunciation so easy! I speak english, german and czech, which are quite "harsh" languages to speak when it comes to pronunciation, maybe english is softer, but all three languages pronounce exactly as it is written - french is like quicksilver, so fluid, playful and fun in comparison 💕

  • Cette lecon est formidable et tres utile. Of particular help for me was things to say to extend a conversation with French-speaking people. Most of my neighbors and friends are primarily french speaking Franco-Americans. Many of these gens typically switch from French to English when the conversation is joined by an Anglophone, most of whom are monolingual. I'm frequently trying to convince people that it's very helpful if they continue conversing en francais .
