I Tried Institut Français London as a Busy Adult — Was It Worth It?

After a month of silence, I'm back — and I have a very good reason for disappearing. Instead of my usual self-study routine, I did something completely different: I enrolled in the Saturday Express course at Institut Français in South Kensington, London. Five full Saturdays. A real classroom. Real classmates. And a very honest wake-up call about where my French actually stands. In this episode, I share: ✅ How I learned French from A1 to A2 as a busy adult with zero immersive environment ✅ How a random conversation with my French tutor led me to Institut Français ✅ What my first day of French school actually felt like (spoiler: very nervous) ✅ The real pros AND cons of group language learning vs. self-study ✅ What I discovered about my speaking and listening skills ✅ Whether I'd do it again — and the smarter way to approach it 🎁 FREE French Vision Board (desktop + mobile wallpaper): Get my French Fluency Vision Board → https://rachelwmak.com/newsletter/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbTh0RDQxTmQzdWhnYkNrblpxQ0dmQ0FNNWZxUXxBQ3Jtc0tuOG91RjJSVWl3TEFTZmlvOGIwNHhNMVBBczFlREc3TWdLNk1CMFp5RV95bE1GNkgxUXhReEpNR1VxYWpXWFpvcjZ6d01GMGZiSUZjc0ZlcUNBTDF0ajVCclYtQW0yUHl0VDlvWHdmOXpKa2pxN0FoZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Frachelwmak.com%2Fnewsletter%2F&v=BkBF5bLYBpA] 📺 Watch the full video on YouTube (includes the assessment, classroom footage & my French journal entry — can you understand it without subtitles?) https://youtu.be/BkBF5bLYBpA --- 🔗 LINKS MENTIONED - Institut Français London: https://www.institut-francais.org.uk - Saturday Express course: https://www.institut-francais.org.uk/french-courses/saturday-express/#/ - My 30-Day French Speaking Challenge (YouTube): https://youtu.be/WjGJU9LD6mQ - How I Learn French Without Living in France (YouTube): https://youtu.be/iROGBIXhlZc - Free French Vision Board download: https://rachelwmak.com/newsletter/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbTh0RDQxTmQzdWhnYkNrblpxQ0dmQ0FNNWZxUXxBQ3Jtc0tuOG91RjJSVWl3TEFTZmlvOGIwNHhNMVBBczFlREc3TWdLNk1CMFp5RV95bE1GNkgxUXhReEpNR1VxYWpXWFpvcjZ6d01GMGZiSUZjc0ZlcUNBTDF0ajVCclYtQW0yUHl0VDlvWHdmOXpKa2pxN0FoZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Frachelwmak.com%2Fnewsletter%2F&v=BkBF5bLYBpA] --- 💬 LET'S CONNECT I'd love to know — what's YOUR biggest challenge as a French learner right now?  Speaking?

The Real Reason French People Love Arguing

In this episode, I reflect on a real classroom moment from my university years in Hong Kong and how learning French later helped me understand it differently. From French philosophy and education to the famous thèse, antithèse, synthèse structure, this is a story about how culture quietly shapes our voice. It’s not about one culture being better than another — it’s about understanding why silence feels safe for some, and expression feels natural for others. If you love French culture, are learning French, or are curious about communication, identity, and critical thinking, this episode is for you.  🎁 Free Download: Get my French Fluency Vision Board → https://rachelwmak.com/newsletter/ [https://rachelwmak.com/newsletter/] 🎧 Recommended listening If you haven’t yet, you might enjoy the previous episode: Why French Culture Is So Irresistible to Me Support the show [https://www.paypal.me/rachelwmak] - - -  🧡Support the show [https://www.paypal.me/rachelwmak] Hosted by Rachel W.

Nervous About Speaking French? | Try this Guided Meditation

This gentle language learning meditation is for anyone who feels afraid, blocked, or hesitant about speaking French. If learning French has ever made you doubt yourself, feel behind, or feel “not good enough”, I hope this meditation helps you feel a little safer, a little softer, and a little more patient with yourself.

Not Fluent in French. Not Living in France. But Still Sharing My Journey.

Have you ever felt like you’re not “qualified enough” to do the thing you love? In this episode, I share why I stopped waiting to be fluent, confident, or “ready” before talking about French — and how a quiet year without big milestones actually helped me grow more than expected. This episode is about manifestation in real life, not wishful thinking. About trusting the pause. About becoming — before arrival. If you love French culture, are learning French, or feel called to a future you can’t fully see yet, this episode is for you.
