Innerfrench Omdömen 

I recently finished the Build a Strong Core program. This is a great program for intermediate level learners. The course includes a helpful mix of videos, vocabulary and grammar. If you're on Quizlet, there are also flashcards set up for the course. I also learned a lot about French history, geography and culture through the course and Hugo gives great tips on other resources to continue to improve your French. Highly recommend!

It was really helpful for progressing with my French. The course provided not only an overview of common grammar challenges, but also insights into the culture and history of France and the French-speaking world.

While taking the course, I also used other learning resources such as Duolingo, podcasts, and one-on-one speaking lessons

Je viens de finir le Build the Strong Core B1 programme et ça m'a beaucoup aidé pour améliorer mon français. Je le recommende à ceux qui se sentent peut-être un peu perdus dans leur apprentissage en français et qui ont un niveau intermédiare.

I had been learning French since August 2024 and didn't feel that I was progressing until I took the Build A Strong Core course. Hugo is an excellent teacher with a great story telling ability. The strategy of drawing grammar lessons from stories told makes for easy comprehension. Thanks Inner French!!

I recently completed the Build a Strong Core course and really enjoyed it. I liked the mix of content about French society and grammar lessons. I found the exercises and quizzes helpful to reinforce material learned. It was super helpful knowing that I could take as much time as needed to review the material even after completing the course as access doesn't expire. Given that completing this course was tied to a SMART goal at work for me, I added an evaluation component to measure my progress. I took a French placement test from Algonquin College before and after completing the course and it helped me move up from B1 to B2 CEFR level. I'd recommend this course to anyone who would like to continue learning French at their own pace.

The podcasts are very interesting and accessible, educational beyond just teaching French. The Build a Strong Core course is a great complement to the podcasts, and provides a depth and breadth of grammar and usage that I found really helpful in synthesizing podcast and other content (including other learning platforms, like Pimsleur and Babbel), where this kind of detail is either subtly peppered into learning or treated fairly superficially. I know I will continue to refer back to some of the reference materials for a long time!

I really enjoyed this course! "Raconte ton histoire" offered a great variety of listening comprehension exercises and grammar lessons, with quizzes to check understanding throughout. It was great to listen to actual francophones speak! I also found the content really engaging with interesting guests and stories. I really found this course helpful for my comprehension and will be taking additional InnerFrench courses! Thanks Hugo!

Perfect mix of text, dialogues and exercises.
The transcript and audio files can be downloaded in order to practice anywhere.
Hugo has the excellent skill to explain the key points of grammar and visualise it.
The whole InnerFrench team is actively replying to the questions of students in the chat.
Well done!
Absolutely recommended.

Well-made, up-to-date, and interesting topics!

Build a Strong Core is a great course for the intermediate French learner. Hugo explains things clearly and gives helpful examples. The daily work is manageable and not overwhelming. I feel more confident in my French after taking this course.

One of the finest online resources, I was able to access. With super interesting topics and little bit of dose of grammar with each lesson.It made topic of subjonctif super easy.Hugo is really genuine in his efforts for this course.

InnerFrench has honestly been one of the best things I’ve found for learning French. Hugo explains things so clearly and chooses really interesting topics, so it never feels like a lesson—it just pulls you in. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my listening and confidence, and I actually look forward to learning now. His way of speaking is so calm and encouraging, it feels like he’s really on your side. Honestly, Hugo is amazing. I recommend InnerFrench to everyone.

I am happy to add my very positive review of both the podcasts and the Build a Strong Core course, which I just completed. The topics are interesting and well chosen and the grammar presentations are focused and efficient for the learner, with enough exercises to reinforce the learning. I would highly recommend Hugo's teaching approaches to learners who have struggled with traditional language classes or who are trying to refresh remotely learned material.

This is by far my favorite of several podcasts for french learners (I am attempting to revive my ancient college french). Hugo has an amazing ability to make fascinating and complex subjects accessible to my advanced beginner level. I listen to them daily and discuss the topic of the day with my family at dinner. I am so happy to have found this resource!

Although my level of French is B2, this course really helped me review all the critical grammar. I am so amazed by the well-made quality of the learning material.

Taking the course Build a Strong Core has been a truly rewarding experience. After listening to many of the Inner French podcasts and watching the YouTube videos, I was ready for a more structured program, and BSC fit the bill perfectly. Looking forward to Raconte ton Histoire to get me comfortably to level B2. Thank you Hugo.

This is an excellent course. There is a great deal of emphasis on motivation to really help students stay on track and spend real time every day listening and thereby absorbing vocabulary, grammar, fast French, and generally pushing harder than most other courses. Hugo has a great talent for pacing the material so that students are making genuine progress based not (too much) on memorization but on training their brains similar to how children learn.

Really great program!

Great experience! It's intensive, but you can study at your own pace, as the course never expires. Comfortable material presentation, simple explanation, and moderate Hugo's speech speed make learning enjoyable. All the rules are given with examples (not just "dry" grammar), and tests at the end of a unit help to memorize better. During the course, I learned many curious and surprising things about France and the Francophones' world in general, which I'm thankful for.

Build a strong core was such a great B1 course. Thirty lessons and quizzes, interesting content, great explanation of key grammatical concepts, instructors quick to respond to questions. Would highly recommend the podcasts as well, have helped me so much.
