I visit France often and have always been embarrassed by my level of French.
I started to use Duolingo maybe two years ago and whilst using the app I noticed that I still couldn’t hold a conversation in French or understand French grammar.
I joined Fluent with Julie a number of months ago and my level of French is A1 but has increased exponentially since joining Fluent with Julie. I could happily go into a shop, restaurant or bar and order and hold (simple) conversations confidently now.
The lessons in Fluent with Julie are excellent they’re intuitive, make sense, based on everyday situations and will certainly improve your French regardless of your current level.
The community on the App or website are also supportive and understanding.
The biggest asset to Fluent with Julie is Julie herself. She responds to your every question and exercises both praising and correcting your mistakes in an explanatory way that just makes sense.
I would highly recommend Fluent with Julie if you want to improve your French in a structured supportive way. I know it has certainly improved mine!

In six months, I’ve gone from barely being able to write a simple sentence to speaking more complex sentences at home.

I spent about a year struggling to learn French on my own before finding Fluent with Julie. Right away, I noticed that Julie’s approach was different. Many French grammar courses exist online, but Julie understands that access to information isn’t what learners lack. Sure, you can binge A1–C2 grammar in 30 days — but can you use what you learned in a real sentence? Probably not.
What learners truly need are opportunities to practice using grammar and vocabulary, to feel steady, meaningful progress, and to receive direct, encouraging feedback. When those three elements are present, confidence and natural speaking follow. Julie’s course delivers exactly that through structured weekly units, daily practice exercises, and personalized, supportive feedback on writing assignments. You actually use what you learn each week, and each week builds on the next.
In six months, I’ve gone from barely being able to write a simple sentence to speaking more complex sentences at home. Julie’s course has helped me think in French instead of relying on memorization and translation. If I could give one piece of advice to other learners, it would be this: trust the process. Fluent with Julie isn’t about cramming phrases or rules in 30 days. Her goal is fluency — and fluency takes time. As the ancient proverb goes, "Little by little, a little becomes a lot." Julie's course is proof in action.

Before I enrolled in “French with Julie”, my French language training was mostly random YouTube videos. Julie’s course, however, is well structured with a different topic and related exercises every week. This makes it a lot easier to learn the grammar and vocabulary of that specific topic.

Before I enrolled in “French with Julie”, my French language training was mostly random YouTube videos. Julie’s course, however, is well structured with a different topic and related exercises every week. This makes it a lot easier to learn the grammar and vocabulary of that specific topic. I just finished the topic of “False Friends” and now I know to think twice before I use a French word that sounds similar to an English word because the meaning may not be the one you intended to convey. In any case, the path to learning a foreign language isn’t easy, but Julie’s method makes that path a lot smoother.

I want to encourage even advanced students to take Julie’s course. … The C1 lessons are intelligently structured, providing advanced students with the opportunity to deepen their vocabulary, vary word choice, and attain even greater levels of nuance and precision. … The videos are detailed enough to feel substantial, but concise enough that I can squeeze them into a busy work week.

I want to encourage even advanced students to take Julie’s course. I’m solidly C1: I studied French for many years, I’ve lived and worked in France, and I have fully bilingual reading skills. I’m no longer immersed in the language, however, and I want to retain my fluency. The C1 lessons are intelligently structured, providing advanced students with the opportunity to deepen their vocabulary, vary word choice, and attain even greater levels of nuance and precision. And sometimes I dive back into the B2 lessons to review of a particular grammatical point. The videos are detailed enough to feel substantial, but concise enough that I can squeeze them into a busy work week.
Julie has also been extremely responsive to my questions, whether I’m seeking a better understanding of the slang I pick up from my French TV shows, how to navigate levels of formality in the workplace, or wondering how French language and society have changed since I lived there. This course doesn't feel like studying--it's a fun and enriching hobby.
