30-Minute Lesson Packs

Thirty minutes sounds too short — until you look at how memory actually works. Language sticks through frequency, not heroics: three half-hours spread across a week beat a single ninety-minute session, because each lesson lands just as the last one starts to fade. That spacing is the entire trick, and 30-minute packs are built around it.

Who these packs fit

Busy professionals who can defend a lunchtime half-hour but not an evening; parents whose day has exactly one quiet slot; maintainers who already speak decent French and want to keep it warm; and anyone whose attention genuinely flags at the 40-minute mark — which is more of us than admit it. Half an hour of one-to-one French is dense: you’ll speak more in it than in a week of group classes.

What a 30-minute session looks like

No warm-up theatre. You arrive, you speak; Xavier steers. One target per session — a tense that keeps slipping, tonight’s restaurant scenario, the phone call you’re dreading — and homework small enough to actually happen. The rhythm that works: two to three sessions a week, same days, so French becomes an appointment rather than an aspiration.

The practical details

Packs start at 6 × 30 minutes for €99 — from €13.86 a lesson, the gentlest entry price on the site. Twelve months to use them, free rescheduling up to 24 hours ahead, and one teacher who keeps your plan between sessions. If you’d rather have fewer, longer sessions, the 45-minute and 60-minute packs exist precisely for that — and if you’re new here, the free trial comes first.
