What if you could take an actual French class from home?
With a native French teacher and four other learners?
A class where you’re speaking French with a native. You’re having fun practicing dialogues. Where the teacher corrects your French on the spot, which means you’re improving on the spot. And so are the other learners in this small group class, because everyone gets plenty of attention and practice.
It’s not just a possibility. Group classes are the most fun and engaging way to learn French, and you can attend these classes with FrenchPod101.

1. What is in a Live Group Class?
With FrenchPod101’s Live Group Class program, you can take a 10-week-long French course with real, native speaking teachers. All classes are held live on Google Meet, letting you attend from anywhere in the world. Together with one to four classmates, you’ll study French with your teacher each week.
Many online classroom businesses offer a marketplace of live teachers who bring their own curricula and require different kinds of materials. This variety means that changing a teacher due to availability can mean needing to buy new books, tools, and losing your progress. At FrenchPod101, all of our live classes use our own professionally-made materials, regardless of the teacher. This means that no matter which class you end up taking, you don’t have to worry about losing progress or adding new materials to your shopping cart.
As a part of your class, you will receive our “Can Do” French PDF textbook. You’ll also get 6 months of our Premium PLUS membership, which gives you full access to our long-form audio and video lessons, lesson notes, and study tools. You will also get access to an on-site teacher, who can help your learning journey as you study the site lessons outside of your group class.

2. Why Learn in a Group?
Do you want to be able to speak French naturally? To make friends with French people without worrying about the language barrier? Are you aiming to live in France, and looking to improve your career prospects? Or are you just getting ready to visit France for some tourism, and want to make the experience better by being able to speak with the locals easily?
No matter your reason, our Group Class is a great option for you. During our 10-week course, you’ll be able to speak French with your classmates and native-level teacher, and have plenty of opportunities to practice your French conversation skills and pronunciation.
3. What You Get Out of It
So how does it all work?
When you sign up for the FrenchPod101 Online Class, you’ll first receive an assessment test to determine your language skills. This lets us place you in a class of the appropriate level, so you can get into learning new aspects of French from the get-go.
After you are placed in your class, you’ll begin receiving emails from our live class team. We’ll send you the emails before each lesson you’re scheduled to take, and they will contain all the materials you’ll be using during the class. Then, you’ll attend the class via Google Meet and learn directly from a native level teacher.
Beyond just learning from a teacher directly, one thing that separates our live class from self-study or recordings is the fact that you’ll be studying with other students. People who are on the same level as you, struggling with the same things, and learning the same material. By seeing your classmates strive for the same things as you, you can improve your motivation to keep going in turn. And, because you’re all at the same level and learning the same materials for the first time, it can transform that pressure to be perfect into encouragement to participate.
After the class is over, you’ll receive personalized feedback from your teacher on what aspects of your work you’ll need to improve, and their recommendation on how to improve it. Once you’ve completed all 10 weeks of the online group class, you’ll receive a final grade. This grade will be based on your attendance, your completion of the materials, and your grade on the assessments that you’ve taken. Students who have received a final grade of 60% or higher will receive a certificate of completion, serving as proof of their French language skills.
4. What Our Students Say
If just a description of the class doesn’t convince you, take a look at some of our student testimonials:
- “Our teacher is very engaged and helpful. Always on time and always willing to stay a little afterwards. My fellow students all tried very hard and were usually prepared. I enjoyed this class very much.” – P.K., U.S.A.
- “I really enjoyed the 10 week German course, it was well paced as well as giving anyone a solid base to work from. It really does help having a more formal structure and keeps you disciplined as well as pushing yourself as you have a commitment. The support of the dedicated teacher and the administration staff was incredible and very efficient.” – C.G., Germany.
- “I’ve just finished my second set of 10 classes of Korean. Once again, I enjoyed it a great deal and learnt a lot of useful material. The lessons are well designed and well taught. Plus you get access to a treasure trove of additional online material. Definitely recommend!” – S.L., U.A.E.
