Paris Ready · Private online session with François Dagomet

Book Paris Ready — $150 See what we’ll practice

60 minutes · One-to-one on Zoom · All levels welcome

One trip. Your real situations.

Less searching for words.
More enjoying the moment.

You don’t need fluent French to make a thoughtful first impression. Start with the moments you expect to encounter.

Walk in with a greeting. Practice bonjour, introductions, and when to use vous.
Feel comfortable at the table. Ask for a recommendation, explain a preference, and request the bill.
Handle the everyday. Rehearse the hotel, the café, shopping, or a personal invitation.
Have a way forward when you get stuck. Ask someone to repeat, slow down, or switch to English with warmth.

Is this for you?

You’ve booked France.
Now prepare for the people.

For travelers who want more than a phrasebook: a chance to say it out loud, ask questions, and understand what feels natural.

Come as a complete beginner or bring the French you already know. We choose a few useful situations together and practice them at your pace.

This is a focused preparation session, not a promise of fluency in an hour. You leave with phrases you’ve rehearsed and a personal sheet to keep with you.

Meet François

A face, a voice, a way of seeing the world.

Before we meet across a screen, here is a short visual portrait of the spirit behind this studio: French warmth, a little mischief, and an enduring curiosity about people.

The real introduction happens in conversation. Bring me your story, and we'll begin there.

What do I receive?

A 60-minute private Zoom session, live feedback, and a personal phrase sheet emailed within 48 hours after we meet. This is a coaching service, not an instant digital download.
