"Still enjoying this course so much !! There is a good amount of grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation lessons to go along with the story; I find it really reassuring and I think it's the perfect mix for a pleasant learning process."
Sandra Gissing

"After trying to learn French on & off for 15+ years I was determined never to buy another Programme, App or Book but then along came French Uncovered - comments section won’t let me rave on so before I get cut off agan! IT’S THE BEST!"
Nisha. G. Nair
India
"I believe regular consistency with French uncovered (along with some supplimentary materials) has got me to lower intermediate (A2/ B1) in 3 months, which others courses could not do in 2.5 years. Now constantly working to improve."
Geoff Elliott
United Kingdom
"I can thoroughly recommend "French Uncovered". The method of combining story telling with good video grammar/vocabulary lessons is unbeatable. Other courses just have one or the other and fall short of what a student really needs."
Terry Silva
Cranbourne East Victoria Australia
"My French skills qualify as no more than a few words before taking this on. However, I've found even before half way that I can keep up with the spoken story when I listen and read now. I'm also able to understand more and more each chapter"
Jim Collier
US and France
"I realize that I must think in French to be able to converse in it. English simply gets in the way. You cannot code English into French. This course is immensely helpful. You won't achieve English extinction from a book or dictionary!"
Matthias Crow
Croatia
"What a brilliant course this is! I would highly recommend it to anyone who's just starting to learn French. It might seem intimidating at first, but a little perseverance goes a long way! Just go at your own pace and practice regularly."
Rosa Martir
Canada
"I got French Uncovered for beginners. I like the way it’s structured. I tried other methods before but felt lost and overwhelmed. With French Uncovered I easily practice reading, listening, grammar and speaking. I highly recommend it."
Farhat Chira
France
"I would totally recommend French Uncovered for people who have a good grasp of English. It covers pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and more but the awesome part is the quizzes, which are so fun and make everything stick to your memory."
Anthony Palmer
France
"I have tried many courses and they all teach you stuff but when you try to use them it becomes hopeless. You can say things and be understood but what comes back is incomprehensible. This course gives you exposure to French as it is spoken."
Lindsey
United Kingdom
"I am enjoying the course - very much taking it at a slowish pace and going back over and reminding myself of things I have mislaid over the years but pleasantly surprised when recalled. I do like the format thanks"
Chiara
Italy
"What made me curious about this course was that I would be able to study French reading story. It happened that I love reading so I gave it a try. SOOO HAPPY! Learning in this way is funny and reading make me motivated to stay consistent."
Gary Gilbert
Scotland
"I have really enjoyed the courses so far and found the method of learning suits me much better than the traditional course that I previously followed. Listening to natural French spoken at normal speed is a very satisfying way to learn."
Ron Dubber
France
"I have tried other courses to no avail. With French Uncovered I find it easy to understand. I am actually learning French and it is a most enjoyable way to learn. A great method of teaching. Well done."
Nicola

"I am undertaking the French intermediate course, the first course I have undertaken with Storylearning. I find the information extensive and useful, the 'lessons' are superb, the practical activities really assist. Excellent all round."
Julius

"I love the concept of reading more and having a bunch of audio as well as written French to study and look lover. I think it is great that there are challenging scripts with vocabulary to help you grow your understanding of the language!"
Felicity Beasley
United Kingdom
"So far so good! It's a little scary to be thrown in the deep end, but already `I see the benefits. The course supports this immersion with vocab, grammar and listening sessions. I'm excited to hopefully finally crack French!"
