Fresh, up-to-date content...
Many French teachers who live overseas have been out of the country for a long period of time and can be “out of the loop” on current words, culture, etc. This is another major gap that we fill. Lessons are carefully crafted to include current events, words, celebrities, and so-on. This is very dynamic content.
Borderless education on-demand...
We also fill a definite demand in remote locations. Our lessons provide you with a mobile classroom, as we bring you French on Demand. French lessons wherever you may be.

We focus on French, and French only...
Just French! All we do is French. FrenchPod101.com is not a generic package language learning course, such as some of the other big name language learning programs out there. Many other programs “scale” their solutions across several languages, simply recycling the same material over and over - the same pictures, the same conversations, just in a different language. But each language is unique, and at FrenchPod101.com we pride ourselves on developing a system that’s only about the French language and French culture!
