I Designed This Course For A Very Special Group Of French Learners
Beyond Beginner French students typically join because...
Reason 1
You're excited about being able to get the words out of your head and assemble them with ease so you can start conversing in French.
Reason 2
You're motivated to improve your French and still have time to spend doing other things you love with the people you love most.
Reason 3
You're intrigued by the idea that you can stop trying to squeeze more and more French words and grammar rules in your brain but instead focus on the right things that will get you French Speaking.
If that sounds familiar, Beyond Beginner French could transform how you learn and speak French!

MEET YOUR TEACHER,
DEVY BASELEY
I've helped thousands of French language lovers just like you...
Hi, I'm Devy, the Founder and Head Teacher of French Speak. I'm passionate about teaching the French language, and over the past 25+ years I've had the privilege of helping thousands of learners across the world.
While French Speak is headquartered in Australia, my students are all over the world: the USA, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Switzerland, and even The Congo!
So many of my students first make contact after lessons with other language schools. They are frustrated by their lack of progress and confidence, despite constantly being moved up levels!
My teaching philosophy is captured in French Speak's name: I want to get you French Speaking! I'm obsessed with finding fun and brain-friendly ways to teach French to adults. So we keep it simple and focused on the language elements that actually make you conversational.
In this course I've combined vocabulary for real-life French conversation, essential grammar and a pronunciation focus to make available to you in Beyond Beginner French.
I'm really proud of the impact the Beyond Beginner French course has on my students' learning, and know it can help you too!
– Devy Baseley
Beyond Beginner French Is Making A Real Difference For French Learners
"I found the courage to speak the language while in France - not just in stores and restaurants - but also to seek out conversation with natives...
I have been able to participate in French Conversation Groups with people who are WAY more fluent than I am."
- Sue
"In French Speak, I found a comfortable, accepting and flexible learning environment that provided lessons conducive to different learning styles. This helped me pick up grammar and conversation very quickly and in a fun manner."
- Harriet
"When I signed up for the group program, I knew I wanted to add to my very basic French but I was astonished that within a few months, I could put it together and have short conversations!
My confidence has definitely grown a lot. Thanks for this great program!"
- Jenny
"Her infectious passion for speaking French is taught in a way that makes you want to learn more. She helps you along the way and is very engaging"
- Missie

- Be able to use the French you know to converse with others
- Know how to speak French clearly to always be understood
- Understand what to focus on to improve your French
- Learn the essential words, phrases and grammar to move you past the basics
- Have the confidence to engage in conversation and understand responses
Why Do My "Beyond Beginner French" Students Get Learning Breakthroughs?
I SAY NON TO OVERCOMPLICATING THINGS...
AND OUI TO STEP-BY-STEP TEACHING WHAT MAKES A REAL DIFFERENCE AND GETS YOU SPEAKING FRENCH!
So... Any Questions? Here's What Your Fellow Learners Have Asked Before Joining
Beyond Beginner French is made for you if:
- you have been learning French for a few months (or even years) and know the basics already, but can’t hold a simple conversation without freezing and forgetting every single French word you know
- you’ve never attempted to speak French with anyone (except with yourself in the car) and want to change that
- you managed to order in French once-upon-a-time, but doubt yourself when it comes to engaging in a two-way dialogue
- you've learnt French via a language school, where the whole class moves up together, but you haven't had an opportunity to consolidate and make new content "stick"... or
- you're self-taught (Duolingo anyone?) but your mind goes blank as soon as someone responds in French...learnt vocabulary you've learnt in previous lessons
If you’re a new learner (e.g learning to count past 10, greetings, learning when to use ‘avoir’ or ‘être’ verbs in present tense) then I recommend one of French Speak's introductory courses. Email me (enquire@frenchspeak.com.au) for suggestions.
The course will start on Monday 4 March 2024 and conclude on Sunday 26 May 2024.
I close the doors to the course soon. This is to ensure I have enough time to get to know each participant a bit more before we start, including what French they already know. That's really important so that I can make recommendations on how each individual can get the best out of the program and truly take their French to the next level!
Yes, definitely. Once the 12 week program ends I make all the lessons downloadable for 6 months so you can save to your own computer and keep forever.
Beyond Beginner French is an online course, but there's definitely nothing complicated about it!
I have tried to make it as simple as possible for learners (and myself!). You only need:
- Access to your emails - Every Monday I'll email your instructions for the exciting week ahead
- Access to the Systeme web site - I'll send you a password to the web site that contains your 12 weeks of course work. The password is easy to reset if you forget.
- A Facebook account - this is optional but I'm sure you'll enjoy the benefits of joining the other learners in our Private Facebook Group, and having an extra place to practice your French.
When you embark on this 12-week program to transform your French I recommend you be ready to dedicate at least 1-2% of your life to your French.
That’s 15-30 mins per day.
Even if you commit to do this most days—not 100% of the time—you will see tremendous results in your French within the first month!
I'm Australia-based and my family lives in France, so I have become a pro at working around different time zones!
When you join the program we will have an onboarding phone call. I'll work with you to identify your availability during the week for our live Zoom sessions.
There may not be time slots during the week that suit all participants. If that's the case, we'll ensure there are multiple time slots available so everyone can participate.
All payments are made through the online checkout process. You can pay using Paypal or by credit card or debit card (via Stripe).
You can make 1 upfront payment of $947, or 3 monthly instalments of $355. All Beyond Beginner French pricing is in Australian Dollars (AUD).
It's completely fine to change your mind! The important thing to remember is you are protected with a 14 Day Money-Back Guarantee. So if you decide that Beyond Beginner French isn't for you within 14 days of signing up, I will refund you with no questions asked.
If you have a question about Beyond Beginner French, simply email me (Devy) at enquire@frenchspeak.com.au.
