Members of the AT Frenchies Club, in their own words. Results vary.

Your questions, answered.

What time is the live for me?

You pick 1 PM or 7 PM EST, the same time on Saturday and Sunday. That's 10 AM or 4 PM in California. Your seat page shows your time.

Do I have to speak, or turn my camera on?

Not on Zoom. Your camera and mic stay off, and you practice from home. We invite 2 people from the WhatsApp group to practice with us on camera, only if they want to.

Is something for sale?

Yes. At the end of Saturday's live, we tell you about the AT Frenchies Club, our paid membership. The challenge is free, and you can leave before that part.

How much French do I need?

If you know a little French, that's enough. Your first voice note is a simple hello, and nobody grades it.

I don't have WhatsApp. Can I still join?

Yes. WhatsApp is free and takes two minutes to install. If you don't have it yet, the button to join our group takes you to the download.

What if I can't make my time?

There's no recording, so come live if you can. If you picked 1 PM and miss it, we send you the 7 PM link that day.

What is the Neuro-Polyglot Method?

It's our new method to switch your brain from English to French, so French comes out when someone talks to you. You practice phrases for the café, the bakery and the market on WhatsApp, then use them live with us on Zoom.
