Chanta

Co-Founder/Student Support
I studied business in Toronto before moving to Montreal and I was impressed by the innovative idea to teach French in only 18 hours. In my free-time, I like reading about politics and history. 

Antoine

Linguist/French Expert
I travelled a lot in my life due to my parents' work, which led me to speaking 8 languages fluently. I studied linguistics at La Sorbonne (Paris) before moving to Montreal, where this amazing project took form. 

How it started

Unlock French sprang from a simple, yet profound realization. In our early days, we offered small, friendly tutoring sessions and quickly noticed a common thread: many of our students were grappling with French grammar's twists and turns. The challenge was even greater for those needing to urgently pass the French immigration exam in a short time. Their journey to learn French was fraught with anxiety, and for some, the fear of this complex language led them to the brink of giving up.

We took a step back and asked ourselves why learning French felt so daunting. We saw that the intricate grammar rules, the maze of verb conjugations, and the subtle liaisons, coupled with programs that seemed to stretch out endlessly, were the main culprits. It was clear that a change was needed.

Our vision was to craft a course that felt like a breath of fresh air, where simplicity reigned. By focusing on the essentials, we aimed to strip away the layers of confusion. We made a commitment to offer a learning experience that built confidence from the ground up, laying down strong, clear foundations.

The beauty of this approach was evident in the results. Our students weren't just memorizing rules; they were understanding the language, forming solid building blocks that would support their continued learning. Unlock French was born out of the belief that when the basics are second nature, fluency is a reflex.
