The Momentum Lab

✨Premium, application-only, semi-private 10-week online workshop.

Exactly a week ago, I started attending The French Club sessions and have attended each session available under free events, the premium plan, and student-led practice sessions, just to see what was being offered. I have to say, I am yet to come across a platform with this kind of dedication and passion. François and his team have built not only a language learning platform but also a community that shares the same passion and love for the French language. Irrespective of the level one is at in their language learning journey, you feel welcomed and are given a safe and creative space to learn. You are pushed out of your comfort zone in a warm and friendly environment, in such a creative way that you don’t realize it and don’t feel intimidated. It’s just the beginning, and I am confident of acing the TEF/TCF, or absolutely any exam, with this kind of support.

Thank you & much love 😊❤️

I started attending these classes around 4-5 weeks ago and have to say François is an exceptional teacher; generous, responsible, and genuinely kind-hearted. He truly loves what he does, and it shows in every lesson. He teaches with passion and heart, and it makes a real difference.

The sense of camaraderie within the group is phenomenal. The community is filled with awesome people, which makes the learning experience even more enjoyable. And...there's Amy as well, who plays a key role in keeping everything organized. She manages the WhatsApp group along with François, shares class information, and provides ongoing support to both students and François and does a great job with that. They both wear their hearts on their sleeves, and it truly shows.

This has been a very enriching experience and will certainly continue my language learning with the group. Merci beaucoup!

J’ai commencé à apprendre le français avec François et au club de français. Je suis très content et je voudrais partager mon expérience d’aujourd’hui avec vous.

A unique quality of French Club and François is to offer variety of sessions that suits everyone’s own needs, level of knowledge, and interests. There are semi-private sessions, starter and premium plans and of course the free sessions.

Today, I attended the Written & Oral Comprehension Session for the first time, which is part of the Starter Plan. I didn’t know what to expect or what the format would be. It turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve had.

First, all levels are welcome to attend, and François very effectively manages to make everyone participate in a way that suits their level. Everyone takes turns; reading paragraphs, interactively answering questions, and translating a paragraph from French to English and vice versa. There is no pressure, mostly on a voluntary basis. It is nice that François also calls names and kindly invites students to participate, and sometimes gently encourages them to try a bit harder than their level. While one person is reading, the others can follow along on mute and have time to look up vocabulary or take notes and learn from each other. At the end, the text is shared so you can review it later.

This session is such a valuable immersion experience if you are looking to accelerate your learning and enhance your written, oral, and comprehension skills.

I am proud to be part of the global community of French language learners known as The French Club. It is an inclusive and inspiring environment where you can grow in so many meaningful ways.

Founder François Normandeau is a passionate, real-world expert grounded in both the science and practice of language acquisition. He has created a truly engaging space that fosters a growth mindset while maintaining a kind, supportive, and rigorous learning environment. François brings his own distinctive sense of personal style to The French Club in a way that keeps students consistently motivated. He also has the rare gift of knowing how to bring out the best in each individual.

Equally important, The French Club is supported by a dedicated team committed to ensuring that every learner’s journey is as enriching and successful as possible.

I wholeheartedly recommend The French Club as an experience unlike any other language-learning journey. It is truly a special place to explore French while also discovering more about yourself and how you learn best.

Workshops and events to support your learning journey

Why do just one? But join one, and you might just never want to leave.

François tirelessly injects his energy into my curious and lazy bones. I met so many good hearted and diligent classmates who offered their sincere friendship and fellowship in studying together. I’ll treasure all these heartfelt gifts with much gratitude.
