Learn Real French Now offers the chance to learn French in face-to-face, in Montpellier, in groups, in total linguistic immersion with Mon'French via the standard course. Do everything in French like the French! This is the aim of this course including a half-day of three hours devoted to learning in the training room.
This stage of learning-memorization in the training room is paramount because it gives learners the tools to be able to communicate in "authentic" French. It is an opportunity to learn lexical, grammatical and cultural concepts, and to work with the five skills necessary for language acquisition: oral understanding; production and interaction; written comprehension; production.
Suitable for people wishing to begin or continue their learning of the French language.

Learn Real French Now chooses to work only with authentic documents, namely oral or written documents intended for the French, which makes the learning more authentic and enables acquisition of the "real" French language, the one used by the French (unlike the French language taught through regular methods). The learners can thus communicate in the same language as the people they meet and will be more readily understood by them.
Every morning in the training room, the course takes place in four stages:
- listening to an audio document or watching a video with simple comprehension questions to study the vocabulary, grammar, and cultural concepts;
- oral restitution of these concepts through oral production (speeches), and oral interaction (large group discussions, role play, general simulation, debates) as well as games;
- reading a written document with simple comprehension questions to study the vocabulary, grammar, and cultural concepts;
- written restitution of these concepts through written production or interaction activity: complete a booking form, write a simple message, answer an e-mail.
