Real French for Travelers Part 1
Foundations of Travel French
Imagine yourself on a trip to France and being able to speak French . . . in restaurants, in hotels, museums, or with local people. It’s not as hard as you think!
This course will give you a great foundation for Travel French in easy-to-understand building blocks. The course exists in two parts (the Foundations of Travel French and Situational Travel French) or as a complete course that includes both. Either way, you'll learn REAL French. (So, put aside that phrasebook!)
With this travel-oriented online course, clearly-presented lessons build on one another and take you to your goal of communicating in French. Even if you’re a total beginner, you can understand the concepts and pronunciation of basic French. That'll really enrich your trip.
And an online course fits into your schedule, unlike a traditional class. Repeat lessons as often as you like.
This course also features dialogues of realistic travel situations, QuickStart phrases to speed your progress, exercises for mastery (along with a comprehensive workbook), and much more.
You’re investing a lot in your trip. Invest in Travel French. You’ll be glad you did!
Your Instructor
Hi there! Did you know speaking Travel French is easier than you think? Especially if you take it step by step. I had the joy of living in France for 13 years. Since that time, I've been teaching French to adults and teens one-on-one, in senior centers, at a community college, and in French companies. (And I've taught English in France too!)
I can teach you to be operational in France for your next trip, whether for vacation or for business. You'll be so proud of yourself talking in the local language!
I have a France-only website, Oliver's France, full of destination ideas, tips, and resources. You may also find my books helpful for travel: Magical Paris: Over 100 Things to Do Across Paris and A French Garden: The Loire Valley.

Real French for Travelers is the ideal course for learning practical French that can be used on a vacation to France, a business trip or to fulfill a personal goal. Each lesson is highly focused on a particular topic and is just the right length - short enough to keep the student's focus but long enough to ensure mastery of the particular concept being covered. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking for an easy, cost-effective way to master practical conversational French. Quentin S.
