Most children learn their first language in the following order:

1. Hear.

2. Talk.

3. Read.

4. Write.

First, children hear how people around them speak, and as time goes by, they start to repeat what they hear in the right moment and the right context. 

It’s a long and exciting process. 

As an adult, you come to learn French with a huge advantage. You already know at least one language. You know English.

Many online and offline methodologies ignore that fact and teach you French the way we would teach a child.

There’s plenty of scientific evidence to suggest an adult learning a second language needs a different approach pedagogically than a child (here’s a recent study about that from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). 

So that’s exactly what we did. We have a different, more powerful approach to teaching you French. As an adult.

We follow scientific evidence and actually use your English to your advantage because that way, you skip lengthy and unnecessary steps children may need them.

But not you.

If we’ll remove those lengthy unnecessary steps the way this scientific article in Nature suggests (here’s a link), you learn French faster and more accurately. 

There’s one thing children do, and you will do it a lot too: repetitions. 

There’s plenty of science on the power of repetitions and the right ways to do it (here’s one scientific paper about that).

You will sense the power of repetitions done right during your first Tokfrench lesson (click here to start right now).

The other thing children do, and you will do it too while learning French with us, is playing games.
