What it is

Most people study French for years and speak it for minutes. This challenge flips that. Every week you get one real question, the expressions you need to answer it, a call card to use in a live conversation, and a short post to write and share.

Each week has the same four parts: The question → Expressions to use this week → Call card (for the live conversation) → The weekly post. Do it with a tutor, a language partner, or in Le French Club.

Questions

Do I need a conversation partner?

It helps. The call card is written for a live conversation, with a tutor, a friend, or in Le French Club. If you're alone, record yourself answering the question and write the post.

Can I start any week of the year?

Yes. The themes follow the autumn-to-January calendar, but nothing stops you doing Week 1 in April.

Which level is this for?

A2 to B1. You should be able to put a few sentences together already; the expressions give you the rest.

Do I get updates?

Yes. Updated versions are free from the same download link.

How do I receive the file?

Checkout is by Stripe (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay). Your download links appear right after payment and arrive by email. Links last 7 days; if yours expired, email bonjour@learn2french.com and you get fresh ones.

Can I get a refund?

If the book isn't what you expected, email bonjour@learn2french.com within 14 days and you'll get your money back.

Can I print it?

Yes. Every PDF is A4 and prints cleanly in black and white.

Books are the material. Speaking is the practice.
