Who are we?
How does it work?
A 40-class plan to cover French
Thanks to the Internet, there is no more need to be present in the same room to conduct a successful language class. There are actually many reasons why in-person classes are less effective, slower and quickly lead to becoming “hobby-classes”.Â
Probably not the best approach if you want to learn French with intent.
OuiCommunicate is a coursework-based language school. We have the French language available for you on our website in the form of worksheets, videos and quizzes.
You only pay for the 20-minute meetups with your teacher, in which we assess your understanding of specific parts of French.
Speaking French will gradually be integrated as you develop better tools. French will be taught to you as a speaker of English, with full understanding of your background.
As a result, you can expect to build strong foundations in French to become a confident speaker. You will have all the tools to grow and develop as an independent speaker of French.
Become our next "success story"!
The lady in this video is originally from NY and wished for us to help prepare her move to France.
Today, she is fluent and happily lives in France where she meets new people and uses French daily.
The “secret” to her success is nothing more than what we offer you: the same learning material and the same approach.
But don’t take our word for it: read the review she wrote for our Google Business page!

A word about Hartford...
They call it the “Insurance Capital of the World” due to all the big companies that have offices there. But it also has the distinction of floating the flag of Mark Twain, great author among the greats!
These two facts make an interesting premise to learning French since it is a language deeply embedded in literature and philosophy, and that learning French in a proper way takes some “insurance” of its own.
Our angle of teaching French aims to provide a high degree of said “insurance” through our very own blend of bilingual teaching.
Did you know that 99.99% of language classes are taught by French expats? We know this because we look them up one by one all over the world. We know exactly what they do and what they offer.
The risk you run by taking such classes is very simple. A native speaker of French can only ever think like one, and teach French following that view. The problem is, you see language as a speaker of English!
Contrary to the typical FLE French schools, we push it a step further: we’re native speakers of English AND of French. And there’s no one else that we’ve found who can do what we do. Our skill is not taught in any college in the world. It doesn’t matter if you’re a language professor from MIT or Harvard…it’s just a different league.
Ok, we’ll stop flexing now and come back to some more rational arguments.
But how cool is that? A league of our own, I’d say it’s pretty cool indeed.
While we’re on the topic, the word Hartford leads itself very well to an impromptu French class. Since letters actually refer to sounds we can easily know how it is pronounced. The “H” is always silent and the “a” is always the same. The “o” is instinctive which gives us the word “Artford” with all letters clearly audible. Simple.
Do you know why it’s better for you to learn French with a native speaker of English?
Because as a speaker of English you carry a certain language logic within you. This interferes when you learn French, such as the accent you might have.
A “strictly French” teacher from France doesn’t know what it feels like to be a native speaker of English. Even if they hear the larger part of your mistakes, they will miss many others. And often, they won’t know how it relates to English.
I will give you an example: how does the future tense in English match up with the future tense in French?
Your typical FLE teachers are not trained to know this. But we do times a million. We know how every little word and sound matches up between English and French.
So there you have it, dear students of Hartford. You might say we’ve come to save you! Or at least propose the French classes you deserve.
See you soon, Chris.
