Frequently asked questions 🙋‍♂️

What is Unlock French?

Unlock French started with a simple goal: to make learning French clear, accessible, and actually doable—no frustration, no overwhelm. We know firsthand how demotivating traditional courses and apps can be. Too many learners pour in hours, memorize endless rules, and still freeze when it’s time to speak. We wanted to change that.

For many, French isn’t just a hobby—it’s a necessity for work, immigration, or new opportunities. But the way it’s traditionally taught? Confusing, rigid, and packed with unnecessary complexity. That’s exactly what we set out to fix.

At Unlock French, we believe language learning should feel intuitive and rewarding—not like a never-ending struggle. Our method breaks down French using humor, real-world logic, and smart learning techniques that actually stick. No jargon, no overcomplicated explanations—just clear, practical lessons that help you start speaking with confidence from day one.

This project is the collaboration of over 30 language experts and professionals, all working together to create a course that makes French simpler, faster, and more accessible for everyone. If you’ve ever felt like French wasn’t clicking, we built this for you.

What is the course format?

Forget long, boring lectures—you’ll learn by doing.

Our course is built around interactive quizzes that make learning natural and intuitive. Instead of passively watching a teacher talk for hours, you’ll engage with the material, get instant feedback, and reinforce your skills in real time.

And when you're ready, the bonus section is entirely in French, so you can put your skills to the test and see how far you’ve come.

Will I learn Parisian French or Canadian French?

Our course focuses on Standard French (Parisian French), the form used in formal settings, international communication, and most French media. It follows Académie Française standards, ensuring you learn French in a way that’s universally understood.

However, as a Canadian-based platform, we know some learners are curious about Quebec French. That’s why we’ve included a section covering its key differences—so if you ever need it, you’ll be prepared.

Is Unlock French suitable for TEF, TEFAQ, or DELF preparation?

✅ Yes! Our course is based on Académie Française standards and covers B2-level French and beyond. It includes a variety of content, from core lessons to TEF/TEFAQ/DELF-style questions, ensuring you're prepared for real-world use and official exams.

Many students have successfully used Unlock French to pass language tests or reinforce their learning while preparing.

Can I take this course if I already know some French?

✅ Yes! Many learners join with some French knowledge, often after trying methods that didn’t work for them. Our course doesn’t assume any prior experience, so it’s perfect for filling gaps, improving fluency, or gaining confidence.

Do you offer private French tutoring?

Unlock French started as a private tutoring business, but we’ve since expanded to make high-quality French learning accessible globally.

While we no longer offer one-on-one lessons, our course is designed to give you everything you need to succeed independently—clear explanations, structured lessons, and instant feedback. If you ever have questions along the way, our French instructors are here to help. 🤝

Will I receive a certificate upon course completion?

✅ Yes! After completing the course, you can request a certificate of completion to show off your new French language skills. 🇫🇷
