Reconnect with Your French
The language of your family is still yours to claim. Whether you grew up with Haitian Creole, Québécois French, or West African French — heritage lessons honor your background and fill in the gaps.
Which heritage background fits you?
Haitian heritage
Haitian Creole and French share deep roots. If you grew up with Creole at home, you already have intuitions about French vocabulary and rhythm. Heritage lessons bridge the structural gap to standard French while respecting the linguistic richness of your background.
Québécois heritage
Québécois French is a full, living language — not broken French. If you grew up in a Québécois household now living elsewhere, lessons connect your heritage French to Metropolitan or international professional French contexts.
West African heritage
Francophone West Africa — Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Cameroon — has a rich French tradition. Heritage speakers often have strong oral fluency and cultural depth. Lessons systematize grammar and formal writing without erasing what makes your French yours.
Does this sound familiar?
- ✓You understand French family conversations but struggle to respond fluently
- ✓You never formally studied written French
- ✓Your French mixes comfortably with English or Creole
- ✓You feel your French is 'not real' — but it absolutely is
- ✓You want to use French professionally or for travel to French-speaking regions
Heritage French lessons are built around exactly these situations.
What heritage French lessons focus on
Written French
Accents, spelling, and formal grammar — the foundations often absent from home exposure.
Formal register
Move confidently between casual family French and professional contexts: emails, meetings, interviews.
Cross-variant intelligibility
Understand and be understood across Metropolitan, Québécois, and West African French contexts.
Grammar systematization
Put names to the grammar patterns you already feel — turning intuition into reliable accuracy.
“I always felt embarrassed that my French wasn't ‘proper.’ My teacher helped me understand that my Haitian French is not a deficiency — it's a foundation. Six months later I passed the DELF B2.”
