This CrashCourse is for you if…

No prior knowledge needed. Come exactly as you are.

You're a beginner or a complete beginner
You feel confused about what to learn first
You've tried apps or classes, but still feel lost
You want guidance, clarity, and real speaking practice
You enjoy learning in small, supportive groups
You want to join with a partner, friend, or colleague
You want to learn French in a relaxed, fun, and friendly vibe, with an actual French person

A short, focused reset for your French

This A1 French CrashCourse is for people who want to stop feeling lost and start speaking with more confidence.

In five focused hours, you'll learn how French actually works: the sounds, the structure, and the sentences that matter in real life. Everything is taught step by step, in a small group, so you can ask questions, practice speaking, and feel supported throughout.

This isn't about learning everything. It's about building solid foundations that finally make sense, and leaving with a clear path forward, including a 4-Week Confidence & Consistency Builder to help you keep going without losing momentum.

How the CrashCourse works

4 live sessions across 4 consecutive days. Each builds on the last. You always know where you are and where you're going.

1
Day 1

Sounds & First Words

Get comfortable with French sounds and pronunciation: the part most courses skip. You'll start speaking from the very first minute. By the end of session one, you'll already be forming real sentences out loud.

2
Day 2

Building Sentences

How French sentences are actually built, without memorising conjugation tables in isolation. Once you see the pattern, the rest starts clicking into place.

3
Day 3

Everyday Life in French

Cafés, introductions, daily conversations: the French you actually need. We practise real situations together in a relaxed, warm environment where making mistakes is part of the process.

4
Day 4

Putting It All Together

Everything comes together. You'll leave with a clear next step, not just a folder of notes you'll never reopen.

"Taking lessons with Kenia is a real pleasure — it's honestly become one of the highlights of my week. Starting from absolutely zero, after just 5 lessons I can already see and hear the language. Kenia is extremely patient and very skilled at explaining things. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn French!"

Catherine

"Kenia is one of the best language teachers I have ever worked with. She has a very unique teaching style that makes learning easy and fun. Working with such a passionate teacher is a pleasure and a privilege. Thank you so much, Kenia!"

Igor

"I've been working with Kenia for three months, two lessons every week. The two keys: Patience and Personalisation. She adapts every lesson to match my style, my pace, and my level. In three months I can see definite progress in every area. If I could give 6 stars, I would!"

Tom

"As a complete beginner in French, Kenia is VERY patient with me, which I really appreciate."

Sophia

"Kenia is an incredible teacher — thoughtful, patient, and always with a smile. I couldn't recommend her highly enough."

Jennifer

"Kenia has been teaching me for about a year now, and I can say there has been a significant positive difference in my speaking ability. She not only teaches the subject really well — she is also very sincere, understanding, and patient. I would definitely recommend her to any French learner!"

Kenia

Bonjour, moi c'est Kenia.

I'm a French tutor with 8+ years of experience helping people speak French with clarity and confidence. I've worked with learners from complete beginners to advanced levels, always focusing on what actually matters: speaking, understanding, and feeling comfortable in real conversations, not just memorising rules.

My teaching style is structured and intentional, but always kept light, fun, and engaging. You'll start speaking from the very first session.

Over time, many of my students and I have built real connections beyond lessons. I've met some of them in person, shown them around Paris, and shared everyday moments in French together. For me, learning a language is about creating experiences, not just studying it.

Alongside teaching, I work as an actress across theatre and film, and it strongly shapes how I teach: clear pronunciation, natural rhythm, and real-life expression.

More than crêpes & wine

L'Art de Vivre — a French-inspired invitation to conversation, curiosity, and shared moments.

Once a month I take the French café spirit off the page and into a room.
I've hosted in San Francisco and Berlin, with Paris coming soon.
Real conversation, a little play, crêpes, wine, and zero pressure to be fluent.
Sometimes it's an evening indoors with candlelight and conversation cards, sometimes it's a picnic in the park, because the kind of unhurried time Paris somehow always makes room for doesn't need four walls.
Disagreement is welcome, curiosity leads, and nobody's expected to be fluent to belong.
Come as you are. Curiosity matters more than fluency.

🇫🇷 Berlin · a past gathering

More Than Crêpes & Wine | A Bilingual Picnic

"What if a Sunday afternoon in the park could feel like a little escape to France?" This one took the café spirit outside: a picnic in Volkspark Friedrichshain, with the kind of unhurried time that Paris somehow always makes room for.

  • 🥐 French snacks & wine, shared around the blanket
  • 🎲 Playful quiz and surprising facts about France & the French
  • 💬 Conversations & games
  • 🌍 A bilingual space where you can switch languages, or just enjoy the atmosphere

Frequently asked questions

Is 5 hours really enough to learn French?
5 hours won't make you fluent, and I won't pretend it will. What it gives you is foundations that actually make sense and the confidence to start speaking. Most students leave surprised by how much they can already do, and the 4-Week Builder keeps things moving after that.
Is this right for complete beginners?
Yes, 100%. This course is designed specifically for complete beginners and A1 learners. No prior knowledge required. Come exactly as you are.
What makes this different from apps or traditional classes?
Apps give you words without context. Traditional classes often move too fast or too slow. This CrashCourse is live, small-group, structured and adapted to your group's pace, with real speaking practice from day one and a follow-up plan so you don't fall off track.
Will I have to speak during the course?
Yes—that's the whole point. But nobody gets put on the spot or judged for mistakes. That's how you actually learn a language: by getting it wrong a few times first.
Can I join with a friend, partner, or colleague?
Absolutely, and it's a great way to learn together. Just mention it when you sign up and I'll make sure you're in the same group.
What happens after the CrashCourse?
You'll receive the 4-Week Confidence & Consistency Builder: a self-guided plan with daily micro-tasks, weekly real-world adventures, WhatsApp group support, and access to a companion app for independent practice. You won't be left wondering what to do next.
What if I miss a session?
Get in touch and we'll work something out. The sessions are designed to build on each other, so attendance matters, but life happens. Email me at kenialabpro@gmail.com and we'll figure it out together.
