Exciting news!
My Dear Man & I are thrilled to announce that our website is now brimming with fresh content designed to help you acquire French naturally.
But what does “acquiring French naturally” mean?
It’s about immersing yourself in the language, absorbing its nuances, and learning intuitively, much like how children pick up their native tongue.
French Acquisition focuses on comprehensible input, allowing you to grasp meaning from context and gradually build your language abilities without the stress of traditional rote learning.
Perfect for beginners
When you are a French beginner, listen to our new audiobooks.
They are ideal for starting your journey with comprehensible French.

These stories are crafted specifically in the present tense. They employ simple, carefully chosen language to make the narrative accessible and enjoyable.
The short, manageable length of each story, combined with limited vocabulary, helps you confidently understand what’s happening, an essential step in language acquisition.
Mastering French pronunciation
To help you train your mouth and tongue to the unique sounds of French, we’ve introduced new pronunciation videos.
Our latest addition focuses on the useful sentence “Je veux que tu choisisses…” (I want you to choose…).

This sentence showcases the subjunctive mood, which is used here to express a desire or wish.
After watching the video, repeat the sentence and try finishing it with your own ideas.
For Advanced Learners

This text is what Charlotte Mason would describe as “living.” In Mason’s educational philosophy, a “living” text is one that engages the reader’s imagination, emotions, and intellect.
It’s not just dry facts, but a narrative that breathes life into its subject, inspiring curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world.
To enhance your engagement with the text, we’ve included questions and answers for deep reflection.
Lastly, thank you for your continued commitment to acquiring French.
Your dedication inspires us to keep creating resources that make your French journey both enjoyable and rewarding.
