Learn French Through Stories. Not Textbooks.
Imagine reading in English… and finishing in French.
Ella Speaks French - A Bilingual Adventure
This series is ideal for:
• Adult beginners learning French
• Newcomers to Quebec
• People who struggled with traditional language classes
• Learners who want practical vocabulary
The Ella Method works because:
• You start with English and gradually absorb French
• You learn vocabulary in real-life situations
• Grammar patterns become natural through reading
• The story keeps you motivated
Lexical transfer, implicit grammar, simple reading.
In other words: you’re not studying French. You’re reading a story, and French happens along the way.
The Methodology - in 3 tomes (so far!)
Ella Speaks French - A Bilingual Adventure
- Book 1: Ella Speaks French in Montreal: Your first French wins in the city.
- Book 2: Ella Speaks French & Conquers Winter:
Confidence grows while temperatures drop.
Discover Quebec culture while learning real everyday French.

Bonjour-Hi!
I’ve been teaching French since 2005, working with immigrants and international learners from all over the world. Over time, I saw the same thing again and again: grammar wasn’t the problem, the approach was.
So I created the Ella series to make French feel natural, intuitive, and actually enjoyable.
