Les Jours de la Semaine — with Héléna
Learn the days of the week, then tell her which one it is.
Meet Héléna
@helenafreshfrench is a native French speaker and polyglot coach teaching French from scratch, and this days-of-the-week lesson has a detail that gives away a real teacher: she doesn't just list lundi through dimanche, she asks you to answer — comment "on est + the day" for whenever you're watching. That tiny prompt turns passive scrolling into actual production, which is the whole battle in language learning.
As a polyglot, Héléna has sat on the learner's side of the table too — she knows what it's like to start from zero, and her fresh, from-scratch approach shows it.
Héléna, if you're reading this: we'd love to have you join ImChatty as one of our early tutors. You're already nudging followers to produce French in your comments — live 1:1 conversation practice on ImChatty is that same instinct at full scale, with real learners answering "on est vendredi" out loud to you. You're building your audience lesson by lesson, and joining early means growing with us: priority placement, a real say in how the platform develops, and first pick of session slots as we grow.
- Interactive prompts that make you produce French
- Native speaker and polyglot — she's been the learner too
- From-scratch coaching for absolute beginners
What's the best way to practice a language every day without taking a class?
Treat conversation like a daily habit, not a study session. Open a chat, pick a topic you care about, and write for 15 minutes. You don't need a lesson plan — real output practice is what builds fluency.
How long should a practice session be?
Even 10–15 minutes a day adds up fast. Consistency matters more than length — short daily sessions beat occasional marathon sessions for building fluency.
How can I meet new people online here?
ImChatty is built around starting with conversation. Instead of pushing a profile-first experience, it gives people a simpler way to say hello and see where the conversation goes. The easiest way is to register your email so when other registered users want to get a chat going you're much more likely to get together. Purely anonymous chats, are more of a hit or miss.
