Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe spend the first 30 min getting to know each other, discussing your personal language goals and building your confidence!
For the second half of the hour, we dive straight into unit 0 of the Adomania A1 curriculum to demystify the language. My favorite first day drill is a « Cognates Hunt ».
I show you a list of French words, and you’ll quickly realize you already understand most of them. The goal is to reassure you that you already know a lot of French without realizing it!
By the end of this first session, you will master basic classroom commands, number 0-10, and days of the week allowing you to partially state the date (e.g. Lundi 2) right away.
Lesson 2-3We moved directly into unit 1, which consists of three structured lessons (typically taking 1 to 2 hours each). Our core focus is here is the “identity blueprint” drill. Through interactive dialogue exercises you will master as a French alphabet and learn exactly how to formally and informally introduce yourself and others. We pace this strictly around your comfort level, ensuring you finish your first weeks with the confidence to exchange basic personal information.
Lesson 4-10Over these sessions, we systematically dive into the core of the Adomania A1 curriculum, which features 8 comprehensive units (3 lessons per unit). A favorite drill here is the “grammar anchor”. Because a solid foundation is key, if a complex structural concept like verb conjugations or gender agreement gives you a hard time, we pause and spend up to 3 hours anchoring it down with custom exercises until it clicks.
By lesson 10, you can expect a steady accumulation of everyday vocabulary, basic conversational loops, and a strong structural rhythm.
