# HelloFrench

> HelloFrench teaches real, conversational French to adult learners (A2-C1) through 300+ free subtitled videos, written tips, idioms, slang and vocabulary guides. HelloFrench is created by Elisabeth and Mathieu: Elisabeth is a Belgian-born French teacher based in Paris (Maison de la Francité Jury Prize, 2021) who fronts the HelloFrench YouTube channel (320K+ subscribers), and Mathieu builds the online school. Content covers everyday French as natives actually speak it -- registers, slang, email etiquette, false friends, and idioms -- not textbook French.
