For those who never have time

After teaching more than 1,500 students, we realized that the biggest problem is not a lack of skill, but a lack of time, organization and motivation.

Have you watched dozens of YouTube videos? Have you tried some applications and bought some textbooks, but after a few days you just don’t get it?

Today we have more and more options to learn a language, so much so that we don’t know where to start and many times never start…

We created this platform and the 601 method that will help you stay motivated. A complete platform, where you will have a clear path to follow that adapts to your pace.

It is not for you if

  • You don’t have at least one hour a week to devote to French
  • You prefer traditional, more academic methods
  • You already have an advanced level of French

The 601 method

You only need about 600 words to have a pleasant conversation? And you don’t need 2 years to do it, by concentrating on the basics you’ll be speaking French in 3-6 months!

We focus on the key points (50 main verbs, frequent vocabulary, key structures) so that you can express yourself in French from the very first week.

Already an intermediary? That’s great! If you already know how to use the preterite and subjunctive perfectly, you’re probably an intermediate +, in which case check out our “Confirmed” section, otherwise you’re on the right page!

As an intermediate you can start anywhere you like, but we still advise you to start with our “601 Challenges”, which is our main course. If the beginning seems too easy, you can skip the course, but we are sure you will learn a lot even in the first module!

A teacher will accompany you every week, creating a progression path that you can follow through our platform.

We also believe in sharing and learning through teaching. This means that on our social network you can try answering questions from less advanced students to improve your own knowledge.

You can also participate in all the webinars dedicated to advanced students, such as “la différence entre ce que et ce qui”, comment utiliser “après avoir”.
