"MOI-MÊME EN FRANÇAIS"
100% personalised coaching, face-to-face or online
For non-French speakers who want to express themselves freely in French.
And finally integrate fully into their new lives.
- No rigid programmes
- Real and concrete goals
- Adapted to YOUR brain
You live in a French-speaking country, yet…
Your conversations are limited? Is it difficult for you to build rapports in French and make friends?
You've already taken French lessons
but you're still not 100% comfortable?
Do you feel that others notice your langage mistakes more than your professional skills?
Is your level of French preventing you from finding a job you like, despite your qualifications?
Do you avoid situations where you need to speak because you are too afraid to speak French?
Shopping, going to the doctor, making an appointment... everything feels complicated?
I get you!
Settling in a new country feels like skydiving…
It’s scary.
- You move into an unknown environment
- You loose your landmarks
- The culture and codes are different
- You have to start everything from scratch
And when you don't master the language, it's even worse!
You feel like you're skydiving WITHOUT a parachute.
Even the simplest things in life become difficult...
The people I work with often come to me because:
- They are disappointed by traditional learning methods where they feel lost in the group
- Or they don't want to feel as though they're going back to school
- Standardised learning
- Group lessons, like in high school
- Methods that are too rigid
- Activities that have nothing to do with their real life
These are not ‘bad methods’, but :
1. Every brain learns differently.
2. They don't teach you to talk spontaneously and naturally. They don't teach you to be you.
Can you see what’s wrong here ?
Now, if you too have tried, but failed, and if there’s a little voice in your head whispering:
"I can’t speak French, it’s not my thing..."
"No se me dan bien los idiomas."
Stop.
Don't be so pessimistic and hard on yourself!
2 things are clear to me:
You're not the problem, the method is!
These methods are simply not adapted to each unique way of learning.
The important thing is to know what works for you, rather than applying other people's recipes.
You are not alone in this situation.
It's normal to be afraid. It's normal to doubt. It's normal to want to give up.
Actually, all the expats like you that I coach have also experienced these periods of doubt and discouragement.
You know, it's OK to make mistakes.
It shows you're brave, not inferior.
Now I've got some good news for you!
The human brain is extraordinary and adapts all the time... as long as you feed it with the right tools to learn and work at its best!
And that's where I come in...
Every journey is unique. Annabel, An Sa, Ángela, Paulina, Andrea... They went through the same doubts as you, before being able to free from them.
You can do it too! 🙂

Now you may wonder:
Who am I to tell?
I'm Alice, enchantée ! 😉
As a certified Neurolanguage Coach®, I've helped more than 200 non-French speakers from all over the world to speak French and to successfully integrate into the linguistic and cultural life of a French-speaking country.
To tell you the truth, I haven't always been a language coach.
Before that? I was a consultant for a large international group, KPMG, but that wasn't me. At some point, it didn't suit me any more, so I left everything and finally found my own path.
6 things to know about me:
I've helped non-French speakers since 2016:
in France and all over the world.
I come from Paris but I also lived in Nantes, Lyon and Toulouse. I'm now based in Valencia in Spain!
Language Nut: I speak French, English, Italian and Spanish, and even a bit of Polish and Romanian!
DELF DALF, TEF & DFP authorised examiner
Founder of Valencia's book club for non-French speakers, “Quartier Livre”.
Creator and host of "Moi-même en français" podcast, which guides you to find your own answers to be(come)… toi-même en français.
And you know what?
I feel I am myself in Spanish, so my goal now is that you are too in French. Because now I can tell how marvelous it is to be able to express myself freely, without barriers or complexes.
How will the coaching go?
Our adventure together will take place at your own pace, smoothly:
Stage 1 - 1-hour Initial Session (free) + Assessment
This is a moment to exchange and share, without judgement.
Together, we'll explore:
- your current strengths
- your deep goals
- your own and unique way of learning
And you'll have the opportunity to ask whatever you need and want to know!
PS: This session is free, no pressure, no commitment.🙂
Stage 2 - You receive your tailor-made programme
- A programme designed just for you
- With clear and measurable objectives
- A predefined duration
- For effective and lasting results
From then on, you're free to choose whether or not you continue to stage 3.
Stage 3 - Time for action!
- Individual, face-to-face or online sessions
- Pace according to your availability and needs
- Independent activities between sessions
- 100% personalised resource recommendations:
- Articles
- Programmes
- Targeted exercises
- Tutorials
- Guided independent work between 2 sessions
- Transfer of language knowledge
Every step counts, and I'll be by your side to accompany you on your journey!
Stage 4 - Final Review Session
The last session is an opportunity to see whether or not you've achieved your goals, and if you're still struggling.
The aim? To help you realise how far you've come and how far you still want to go.
You have 2 options:
1. You don't need me any more and you go on on your own
2. Or we continue together and define new objectives
BONUS : You set off with your list of activities you can do independently to keep making progress, even if I'm no longer with you! 🙂
By the end of the coaching, here is what you'll have:
The resources you need to move confidently and freely into your new life
The linguistic keys to unlocking your relationships
Greater confidence in your abilities
A sense of belonging in your new country
You feel free to speak without complexes,
even on the phone or in a group
More opportunities for your career development
People who put their trust in me
Alice is one of the most remarkable professors I have ever met.
She is very dedicated, and always committed with her work. She took the time to understand my goals and provided extremely helpful tips and tricks to improve my communication skills in French.
The lessons I took were incredibly practical and interactive. Alice has a wonderful personality, takes care of her students and is a great coach. I would recommend her without hesitation!"
Paulina R.Z.
Expat in Toulouse from Mexico
My teenage daughter and I had French lessons with Alice while spending the summer in Toulouse.
Alice was absolutely wonderful and did an excellent job of tailoring her instruction to fit our needs, interests and abilities.
As a result, I believe we learned much more than we would have from some of the group classes I considered. Alice was both very professional and personable. And even my teen-age daughter felt that the lessons were fun and over quickly despite being 2 hours long.
Alice also did a number of creative things with us, such as preparing for a trip to Paris.
I strongly recommend working with her to improve your French.
Suzanne A.
Visiting Professor in Toulouse School of Economics from University of California, USA
Alice me ayudó a reconectar con el francés, a recuperar el entusiasmo en el proceso de aprendizaje y a poner en valor lo que ya sé.
Durante cada una de nuestras sesiones, generó un espacio seguro en el que hablar con libertad y honestidad, admitir abiertamente mis dudas y miedos y practicar el idioma de forma divertida y ¡muy efectiva!
Gracias a su metodología -y a su personalidad- no solo alcancé mis objetivos sino que pude explorar otras metas y encontrar alternativas para continuar avanzando en el aprendizaje del idioma.
Merci beaucoup, Alice !
Diana S. F.
Project Manager in Strategic Communications from Venezuela
I've had French lessons with Alice for about 4 years and I recommend her with absolute confidence! Alice is an excellent teacher of language.
Equally important though is that she is very personable, warm, kind, patient and engaging.
She finds resources to fit each persons interests. Learning another language often isn't just linguistic. It can be linked to life changes like moving countries, and can be a part of developing our identity.
Alice really accompanied me through many such things. I really gained so much more than 'just another language' from lessons with Alice- for which I am very grateful !"
Jacqueline T.
Speech therapist and psychotherapist from Australia
Alice is an amazing educator and an entrepreneurial role model.
Alice brings to the learning an exposure to culture and provides helpful methods to create language habits which allow for increased fluency from not only a purely linguistic perspective but also in the fluidity of speech.
Creating multiple ways to connect to her students, through the training program and podcast which provide entertainment and education.
It is without hesitation that I give my full recommendation.
Jean-François M.
Voice Over, Entrepreneur in France from the US
Nuestra experiencia con Aliaé en el aprendizaje del francés ha sido fenomenal. Las clases empezaron siendo presenciales pero las clases online siguieron siendo igual de interesantes y amenas como las presenciales.
Sus clases se adaptaron desde el inicio a nuestras necesidades y peticiones.
A destacar: alto dominio del castellano, la confianza que facilita para que puedas desinhibirte al hablar.

Now I guess you wonder
'How much is the coaching?'
As each coaching is tailor-made, so is the price.
The first programme starts from €400 (between 2 and 4 months, depending on the pace).
It all depends on your objective and the number of sessions you need. We'll set these together during the Initial Session and afterwards, I'll be able to give you the price of your coaching.
What do you think ? 🙂
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! I understand that the investment may seem substantial. That's why I'm offering easy payment terms. Everything will be on the quote and together we'll find a solution that suits you, don't worry!
You get to decide the pace that's adapted to your situation. Also, the independent work between sessions is flexible, so you can decide when and how to do it. You can also opt for a ‘lighter’ coaching, by reducing the frequency (once every 2 weeks or once a month, to guide your independent work).
You are not the problem, you are the solution. Through coaching, you'll get to know yourself and identify what works for you, instead of trying to apply other people's recipes.
Studying alone, without guidance, drains a lot of time and energy. Your time and energy are valuable, and coaching allows you to make the most of them!
It all depends on you and your goal. Generally speaking, you need at least 2 months' support to see lasting results. And it can take up to 10 months, or more if necessary.
I hope I've answered your questions? Otherwise, you can still ask me during the first Initial Session.
Imagine a world where...
People understand you without repeating 3 times
You speak in French all conversation long, no switch to English
You are not afraid to speak on the phone anymore
You take part in family meal conversations and tell what you want
A life free of 'shyness' and complexes, where your personality freely reveals.
You can proudly say that you speak French, without any hesitation.
This world exists and I'm here to help you get there!
Even if you haven't succeeded so far, don't lose faith in your abilities, because you have enormous potential that is simply not being exploited.
When speaking French seems difficult, remember:
- Learning a new language means accepting imperfection:
As we say in French "fiche-toi la paix !", "cut you some slack!", "déjate en paz" 😉 You deserve it! - Your accent is part of you!
It shows you're different, that's true. But I'm convinced that difference is beautiful and rich. - Every word you speak is an act of courage.
Not many people understand that, not many people will thank you. But you can be proud.
Take the time you need to think about it. I'm here to accompany you when you feel ready, no pressure.
In any case, I'm just a click away.
What would you do if you felt 100% comfortable in French?
You've got 2 hours to answer... Just kidding, of course! 😆
