That moment when a French colleague speaks to you, and your mind goes blank. You’ve studied the vocabulary… you know the grammar rules… but the words just won’t come out.

This is the story of so many professionals. You might have “learned” French in school, only to lose it from lack of use. Or maybe you’re taking classes now, but you find yourself forgetting everything between weekly sessions.

This is normal, but it’s not irreversible. The root of the problem is simple: infrequent practice. In a non French environment, one or two lessons a week is not enough to build a skill. It’s like trying to build muscle by going to the gym once a week – it will never work.
