A FRENCH BOOK CLUB AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Ready to take your French to the next level and speak French literature with people around the world?

Here's the best part - FRENCH BOOK CAFE™ is NOT an extensive online course nor is it a time-consuming commitment. I'm designing it to gently fit your lifestyle. Absolutely no overwhelm and pressure. Just a gentle space for you to grow organically as a confident French reader and French speaker.

A story is always better if you have someone to share it with.
Are you ready to learn French in a more motivating way?

You didn’t start learning French to:

  • end up stranded in a fascinating grammar book or
  • drowning in a stunning conjugation drill 

French Book Café is for you if:

  • you love French culture and would love to maintain your interest, confidence and progress
  • you have established a base level of French and now want to push on to the next level but in a more interesting way
  • you love a community to stay focused and motivated to learn
  • you have this dream of reading French authors "dans le texte" (in French!)

Bonjour,

I'm Ida, I'm a qualified French teacher, translator and I love sharing my passion of Paris where I grew up, and the Côte d'Azur where I have been living for the past 15 years.  You might have heard of me in some books or from my 3000 plus live broadcasts where I take you for a stroll at the local marché, or door hunting in the old streets of Nice.  
I am married to a Niçois, mom to a teenager - known as "l'ado" in the videos - and you can see me in my quartier walking 2 cute elderly capricieux dogs - or, more likely, being walked by said 2 dogs.

Paolo, UK

"I love reading a book with the other students and Ida.  When I read French books by myself I can usually get the storyline but I miss the subtle meanings.  Ida helps us understand what the author means and all the more subtle nuances of the language. 

This is much more enjoyable.  It also, of course, helps a lot with pronunciation and with vocabulary building. 

Highly recommended!"

Mandy, London

"I like reading French by French authors because doing so improves my vocabulary but also I think it gives insight into the French - authors write about what they know or see or think they know - so you get a French person’s “ take” on France. Also you get to know cultural and historical reference points.

Reading in French helps my French because over time, phrases and words, deep in by osmosis and I look up new words and am occasionally able to remember them."

Jennifer, UK

Reading books in French makes the language come alive! Immersed in the text you gain a greater understanding of French life and society, of politics and ideas, of the past and present.
Reading French books raises your French to the next level by extending your vocabulary and seeing those grammar points in context. At last an understanding of the past historic and subjunctive passé!
It’s not easy as many words will be unfamiliar: just getting the gist is important; the detail can come later.

Marco, Brazil

Pronunciation, reading, cultural norms, you name it – Ida was the ever-present lighthouse making sure I never strayed too far in the wrong direction. Merci beaucoup Ida.

Kate, UK

She is a pleasure to work with and an excellent teacher.

Greg, USA

Makes the classes fun and takes any pressure off learning!
