Ooh lala!
Confidence in French through community
ooh la la
/uː lɑː ˈlɑː/
exclamation
humorous
-
(especially in contexts stereotypically associated with France or the French) used to express surprise or excitement.
Navigating French in everyday life, from the doctor’s office to the bakery, a chat with the neighbour, or even phoning the garage, can feel overwhelming.
You're not looking for another grammar-heavy course you’re looking for ways to feel more confident, to practice what you learn in a safe, non-judgemental environment, and be able to handle real-life situations in French without freezing, fumbling, or feeling foolish.
Where yourFrench lessons end and Ooh lala! starts
Feel more at ease, more confident, more relaxed
Welcome to a safe, uplifting space where you’ll learn the real French locals speak, build confidence, and discover simple tools to stay calm and grounded, even when your mind goes blank or your accent feels all over the place.
Ways to let go of fear and worry, more positive so that you can enjoy France at its best
Cultural pointers to understand the French and how they work
This isn’t about perfection, it’s about communication, connection, and confidence, and showing up fully in your French life.
This isn't lessons, we won't be working through grammar or structures, I won't be teaching you.
Oooh lala is a complement to your lessons, for you to bring what you know, gain confidence using it and and add more as you go along
It IS a safe place, without judgement, where errors are simply stepping stones to French confidence. Come with your accents, your mistakes with what you know and grow from there.
Meeeting you where you're at and encouraging you to grow into your French life and find your French voice
