Welcome to Culture French, the site designed for beginner to intermediate French learners who want to study in a fun and effective way. 🌟
Behind this project is a passionate advocate for language and teaching: as a teacher of French as a foreign language, I created this space to help you progress with accessible and inspiring articles based on the principles of solutions journalism.
Our approach:
- Simplify to learn better: Clear texts tailored to your level, helping you naturally expand your vocabulary and strengthen your grammar.
- Engaging themes: Explore positive stories, innovative ideas, and creative solutions that keep learning exciting and motivating.
- Learning with enjoyment: Because learning a language is also about connecting with new ways of seeing the world.
- Interactive features: Enjoy the convenience of reading translations directly by hovering over the text. Plus, listen to accurate pronunciations with just a click — simply highlight any word to hear it pronounced correctly!
With The French Quest, I hope to guide you on this wonderful journey of learning French, enabling you to progress at your own pace while enjoying captivating content.
About Me
Hi, I’m Axel! As a passionate French teacher, I draw on my experiences both as a teacher and a language learner to shape my approach to teaching. For me, mastering a language hinges on three essential pillars: reading, listening comprehension, and speaking practice. When it comes to learning an idiom, the focus should always be on what we call in linguistics « comprehensible input. » This means using resources that combine engaging content (things YOU enjoy) with a manageable amount of unfamiliar vocabulary (about 20% of the text).
I am dedicated to helping learners incorporate French into their daily lives with ease and joy, using podcasts, articles, videos, and more. To me, language learning is a personal journey of exploration, where the thrill of discovery is the main focus. I encourage my students to build their own intellectual “galaxies” in French, progressing at their own pace, driven by their passions and interests.
To support this vision, I blend an immersive approach (lots of content in the target language) with communicative methods (speaking, speaking, and then speaking some more!). I also integrate technology and playful activities to ensure that engagement and enjoyment remain at the heart of the learning process.
Together, let’s make your French-learning adventure both meaningful and enjoyable! 😊
