About the Club.
French, with a little more chic: clear, practical guides for learners at every level.
The Chic French Club publishes clear, practical guides to French for learners at every level, from your first words to advanced nuance. Every guide explains one point properly: the rule, real examples, the mistakes learners make and practice with the answers explained.
What you will find here
- Grammar and usage: past tenses, the subjunctive, pronouns, articles, questions and the points that cause the most hesitation.
- Speaking and natural French: how to develop your answers, keep a conversation going, and sound less translated.
- Exam preparation: TEF Canada, TCF Canada and DELF, with formats, scoring, NCLC conversion and task-by-task methods.
- Free practice: quizzes, a level test, a gender game and a daily challenge.
- The Chic French Note: a free newsletter with one useful expression or grammar point at a time.
How we work
We write for learners who already know that French grammar is not the hard part: using it, quickly and naturally, is. So we favour patterns you can reuse over long lists of rules, and we show French as it is actually spoken and written today.
Exam information changes, so every exam guide links to the official sources and shows when it was last updated. Read our editorial standards to see how guides are written, checked and corrected.
Independent
The Chic French Club is independent. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by France Éducation international, the CCI Paris Île-de-France (Le français des affaires) or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The guides in our shop are our own products, and we say so whenever we mention them.
