Looking for more opportunities to use your French?
Get where you need to go. Practice French along the way.
Instead of setting aside more time for language learning, simply hop in the car and enjoy a French conversation during your ride across San Francisco. Whether you're looking to improve your French, gain confidence speaking, prepare for a trip, or maintain your fluency, French Commute makes practice part of your everyday routine.
Colette (my electric Smart car) and I will get you smoothly through the city, so you can simply sit back, relax and enjoy practicing your French with us.
Beyond the rides, our vision is to build a community of French Commuters, bringing people together through language, culture and French-themed events and meetups.

Running Out Of Time
You already speak French pretty well, but finding time to practice feels impossible in your busy schedule.
Tired of Apps?
You've learned French with Apps, but enough with talking to a bot. It's time for a real conversation.
Done with School?
You want to practice French, but not by going back to school. You're looking for something more fun, more relaxed.

I had the pleasure of riding in Colette with Adeline. What a wonderful experience! Adeline exudes warmth and is so easy to connect with. She is fun and adventurous as well as being very creative, which French Commute exemplifies. Conversations with her are enriching. Colette is a very comfy electric car with personality of her own. The two combined offer a top rate experience!! 5 stars!

Recently, instead of the usual ride to my appointment, I joined Adeline and Colette for their French Commute. Rather than sitting in the back staring at a screen, I sat next to Adeline and had a chance to speak and listen to French. Far more enjoyable than pecking away with an app. I certainly loved my French Commute!

Join Colette & I and be the next to share your thoughts on French Commute, so I can stop recruiting friends for testimonials ;)

Honest disclaimer: Yes, yes, I know Pat & Charlie, but they still received the full French Commute experience, with Beret and all 🇫🇷
