Who this is for
A new French learner looking for a concrete first exchange rather than an open-ended promise to learn a whole language.
Before you begin
Open the free course and make room for speaking practice. Choose a few details about yourself that you would like to be able to say.
Your first session
Listen to the opening greetings, repeat them and try a brief introduction. Keep the first attempt so you can notice progress later.
The path in four steps
- Start the free French course
- Practice greetings aloud
- Introduce yourself without a script
- Complete the two units
Use these as editable milestones. The linked activity source supplies the detailed instructions; adjust your plan as you learn.
What finished looks like
Complete the two introductory units and introduce yourself without a full script. Further listening and conversation practice can become a follow-up plan.

Use a few introduction phrases as prompts, then try speaking without reading the page.
Consider: Written for English-speaking travelers. The free course remains the main learning path; printed pronunciation hints are only a reference.
Free or already owned: Write a few introduction prompts from the free French course or borrow a phrasebook.
