Build a Strong Core – Hugo

The Intermediate Plateau

There’s no denying it: learning a new language can be tough sometimes.

The beginning is usually fun—everything is new, the basics are easy to grasp, you can learn enough words to talk about your weekend, and you feel like you’re progressing quickly.

But once you reach the intermediate level, things get messy. You know how to build basic sentences, but whenever you try to say something slightly more complex, you feel like you’re entering a minefield of errors.

You have no idea what to learn next. It becomes harder and harder to find the right resources. Sometimes you try to watch or to listen to “real French” content, and it leaves you even more confused.

Sound familiar?

I had the same problem myself when I was learning English, Spanish, and Polish. Yes, it took me a long time to figure out that the problem didn’t come from the language itself, but from the method I was using. After that aha moment, I realized that becoming fluent didn’t have to be a painful process—I just needed to create my own method.

In this program, I’m going to teach you the exact same method so you can build a strong core of knowledge of the French language. By “a strong core,” I mean that you will improve your understanding of spoken French, avoid common mistakes made by intermediate students, and learn how to sound more natural when you speak and write in French.

What you’ll learn with Build a Strong Core

Here are some of the topics I cover in the program:

• Why French people speak so fast, and what strategies you can implement to understand them.
• How to overcome your fear of speaking French.
• What modern French families look like.
• Why some French suburbs are seen as powder kegs.
• Which French regions want to be independent.
• Why Africa is becoming the epicenter of the French-speaking world.
• Which French YouTube channels you should subscribe to.

And in the grammar sections, you’ll learn about:

• The most efficient ways to study grammar and memorize vocabulary.
• How to finally nail pronouns like “en,” “y,” “dont,” etc., and use them to sound more natural.
• The main differences between formal and informal French pronunciations.
• When to pronounce the “s” in “plus”.
• The most frequent grammar mistakes intermediate learners make, and how to fix them forever.
• How to differentiate between “tout” and “tous.”

Why this program is different from other online courses

The Build a Strong Core program doesn’t promise to make you “fluent in 3 months.” Instead, it will help you make a bit of progress every day and feel more confident as you practice your French. It is also designed to help you make learning French a daily habit and build your own routine—a routine that you will stick with long after you finish this program. Because at the end of the day, that new habit will be the key to helping you reach fluency.

Contrary to most online courses, this program is built around the content, not the grammar.

Instead of reading dialogues about Camille and her thrilling adventures at the bakery, we will cover illuminating topics related to French people, their society, and the French-speaking world in general. If you like what I talk about on the innerFrench Podcast, then you’re going to love these lessons.
