Feel Connected. Speak French with Manaelle.
Speak French with Confidence — Live Fully as an Expat
A supportive, immersive learning space designed for expatriate women and families.
Build real conversation skills, expand your vocabulary, and connect deeply with French life.
French feels like the missing piece of your expat life?
You’re living abroad, surrounded by French, but sometimes it feels like the language is holding you back from fully enjoying your new life.
Maybe you recognize yourself in these situations:
You hesitate to speak French in everyday situations, afraid of making mistakes or not finding the right words.
You avoid conversations with French neighbors, parents at school, or local families, because they feel too fast, too intimidating, or too stressful.
You feel frustrated when you can’t express your thoughts, personality, or opinions the way you do in your own language.
You wish you could connect more deeply with French people, build friendships, and be part of the community — but the language barrier still feels heavy.
You’ve tried learning French before, but textbooks, apps, or traditional classes never helped you speak naturally or confidently.
Many expats experience these exact challenges — it’s a natural part of settling into a new country.
But once you have a safe space to practice, make mistakes, and be guided with kindness, everything begins to shift.
Little by little, French stops feeling heavy and becomes the bridge to the life you moved here to create.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
Moving from hesitation to confident French doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.
With gentle guidance and a space where you can practise freely, your progress becomes natural and lasting.
Here’s how we’ll work together:
1. We focus on your real life in France
Together, we identify the everyday situations where you need French — school, neighbors, cafés, social life — and use them as our starting point.
2. You get a personalised, gentle learning plan
Designed around your goals, your pace, and the moments where you want to feel more confident.
3. We learn through real conversations
Natural, meaningful practice to help you express yourself clearly, expand your vocabulary, and speak without fear.
4. You learn the language and the culture
I guide you as a native so you feel more connected, more at ease, and more at home.

French will no longer hold you back.
It will support your friendships, your independence, and the everyday life you came here to create.
Client Experiences
"I found Manaelle while looking for a French tutor in Strasbourg, and she exceeded every expectation. From our first café sessions to a day trip along the Alsace Wine Route, she made every moment both immersive and enjoyable.
What makes her exceptional is her ability to create a relaxed, conversational environment. Whether in person or now online twice a week, she guides me through vocabulary and grammar exactly when I need it, correcting me naturally without breaking the flow.
Her approach focuses on real conversation rather than heavy rules, which has been key to building my confidence. Despite her youth, she teaches with the instinct of a seasoned professional. My French has improved significantly, and I genuinely look forward to every session. I highly recommend learning with Manaelle"
Terri Hanson M.
Manaelle is the kind of tutor who makes learning a new language feel effortless. Her sessions are relaxed, but incredibly effective: she lets the conversation flow naturally and steps in with guidance only when it truly helps. This approach has made a huge difference in my confidence and has helped me speak far more smoothly.
What I appreciate most is how intuitive she is as a teacher. She immediately understands what I’m trying to say and helps me express it more clearly, without overwhelming me with unnecessary rules. Even our online lessons feel personal and productive.
Since working with her, my French has improved in a way that finally feels sustainable and enjoyable. If you want a tutor who is both warm and highly skilled, Manaelle is an exceptional choice.

About me
