“Je peux avoir un café, s’il vous plaît?” The words spill naturally from the lips of a smiling tourist in Paris, echoed by a chorus of DMs in Clémence’s inbox. They’re simple words, but they’re powerful. It’s not just a small sentence, but a big moment. For many of Clémence’s students, it’s the first time they’ve spoken French outside a classroom, and it worked. They were understood. They belonged.
That is exactly what Clémence envisioned when she started her online French journey.
The Spark Behind the Mission
Originally from Normandy and now based in the U.S., Clémence knows the challenges of language learning intimately. She learned English from scratch and quickly recognized a major flaw in traditional methods: endless grammar drills with little practical application. So, she flipped the script. Her goal was to create a learning experience that felt personal, empowering, and genuinely useful.
That spark of frustration led to the birth of Learn French With Clémence, a digital space where French feels warm, human, and possible.
A Step-by-Step System that Works
At the heart of her approach is a methodical, clear framework that guides learners from A1 to B2 level in just 120 days. The self-paced French course for beginners is designed with structure, yet full of heart. It is not about memorizing verb tables. It is about real conversations, cultural context, and confidence.
Learners appreciate the roadmap. They can see their progress, and they can feel it, too.
Building a Community That Matters
With over 1.2 million followers on Instagram, Clémence’s reach is undeniable. But what sets her apart is how she uses that reach. Every video, caption, and message feels personal. She answers questions. She cheers students on. Her audience does more than just watch: they engage, learn, and grow together.
Her second Instagram account, where she teaches English, has grown to over 6 million followers. Still, it is Learn French With Clémence that truly captures her heart.
A Course That Feels Like a Companion
What makes Clémence stand out as a French teacher online is her friend-first philosophy. Her lessons do not feel like lectures. They feel like chats over coffee. She uses humor, storytelling, and real-life scenarios to make French approachable.
“Your course feels like having a friend who actually explains things,” one student wrote. Others say they finally understand French after years of struggling.
The Road So Far
To date, over 10,000 students have taken her practical French lessons. The reviews are glowing, with a 4.9-star rating on Google and climbing. Her journey has not been without challenges, though. Standing out online required building trust, staying consistent, and balancing scale with intimacy. But Clémence has found that balance.
Looking Ahead
Clémence dreams of expanding her brand even further. Plans for a French immersion retreat in France are already in the works, along with hopes for a dedicated app. Her mission is clear: to bring French into people’s lives in a way that goes beyond the study schedule.
If you are tired of robotic lessons or textbook-heavy apps, it might be time to try something different. With Clémence, you come first. And with each lesson, you’ll get closer to the real goal: how to speak French with confidence, not perfection.
