Start learning differently
When you first started learning French, every step felt exciting. Words like aimer and manger were immediately useful, and adjectives like petit and grand helped you express simple ideas. Progress felt rapid and rewarding.
But now, at an intermediate level, things have changed. You’re encountering more specific vocabulary—words that aren’t as easy to integrate into daily conversations. It can feel like you're not moving forward as fast as you once were.
The same goes for grammar. You’ve mastered the present tense, le passé composé, and le futur proche. But now you're facing more complex structures like le subjonctif and le conditionnel, which express finer nuances and can be harder to grasp.
Does this sound familiar? If so, don't worry—what you're experiencing is the well-known intermediate plateau. It's common to feel stuck at this stage of learning, but rest assured, it's completely normal.
You've hit the French intermediate plateau!
It's totally normal to hit a plateau when you learn a new skill!
To break through the intermediate plateau, it’s time to shift your approach. Learning like a beginner—focusing on isolated words and simple grammar—won’t get you to the next level. Instead, you need to immerse yourself in the language as it's truly spoken.
How do you do that? By engaging with interesting, relevant content that’s at the right level for you.
When the content interests you, you're more likely to stick with it, absorb the language naturally, and stay motivated. If what you're learning feels relevant and exciting, you'll make better progress without even realizing it.
The right level is slightly above your current level—challenging enough to keep you learning but not so hard that it feels frustrating. If the content is too easy, you’ll feel bored and unmotivated. But if it’s too difficult, it becomes overwhelming and discouraging. The sweet spot is finding content that keeps you engaged, motivated, and steadily improving.
You need to find interesting content at the right level for you...
The right level is slightly above your current level
With this in mind, I launched the Piece of French YouTube channel in 2019 to help learners like you overcome the intermediate plateau. I saw the gap in available resources—content that was either too basic or too advanced—and realized there was a need for something in between.
At Piece of French, we create tailor-made content specifically designed for intermediate learners. Our videos are crafted to be slightly challenging, so you’re always learning something new, but never so difficult that you feel overwhelmed or frustrated.

But you are missing out on a lot... 🥹
Right now, when you watch a Piece of French video, you’re getting great exposure to the language (and that's awesome!). But here’s the thing—just watching the videos is only half of what you could be doing to boost your French skills.
Passive listening, where you absorb the language in the background, is a crucial part of the learning process and I recommend dedicating 80% of your French listening time to it. But if you want to make faster progress, passive listening alone isn’t enough.
To truly elevate your French, it’s essential to incorporate active listening into your routine. This means engaging more deeply with certain content—focusing on the details, breaking down sentences, and fully understanding what’s being said.
Passive listening alone is not enough!

For faster progress, incorporate active listening into your routine.
For example, if you do some active listening with a YouTube video, watch the video several times, read the transcript (listening and reading simultaneously is particularly effective!), look for unknown vocabulary, and express your opinion about the topic. This focused approach helps you grasp the language better and reinforces what you’ve learned.
Of course, engaging in active listening with every piece of content you consume would be overwhelming. Instead, choose one source to dive deeper into.
If you're here, I’m guessing you enjoy Piece of French videos and find them interesting, making them an excellent choice for practicing active listening.
The good news? The Piece of French Club provides everything you need to facilitate this process. You’ll have access to all the tools and resources necessary to maximize your learning journey. You’ll not only enjoy the videos but also actively engage with the material, ensuring you unlock its full potential for your French language skills.
So, what's in the Club?
In the Club, for 100+ of our YouTube videos (with new ones added regularly), you’ll find exclusive materials that allow you to study each video in-depth and practice active listening.
For each video, you'll get access to:
👀 Video with optional subtitles in French & English (unlike YouTube, where subtitles are built-in) for an added challenge.
🚫 Ad-free video for a smoother experience.
📄 Full video transcript for easier comprehension and review.
🎧 Downloadable audio version for on-the-go listening, just like a podcast.
🗝️ Vocabulary list with keywords from the video, presented in context with sentences for better retention.
🎴 Interactive flashcards with audio recordings of sentences from the keyword list so you can repeat out loud and practice speaking.
✅ Comprehension quiz to test your understanding of the video.
✍️ Writing exercise to put the new vocabulary into practice and improve your French writing.
📝 Personalized feedback on your writing exercises, offering valuable insights and corrections.
💬 BONUS: Private Member Forum to ask all your questions and connect with other Club members.

Salut, c'est Elsa !
I was born and raised in France. A few years ago, I started teaching French to my boyfriend, Doron. What first started as a way to help him communicate with my friends and family became a real passion. It is so fulfilling to help someone learn a new language, and I can't wait to help you!
I believe that language learning should be fun and interesting to be effective. This is exactly why I created the Piece of French YouTube channel in 2019 and the Piece of French Club. Through videos about real-life topics, learn French as it is actually spoken by real people, and gain new vocabulary in context while improving your comprehension and speaking skills!
