C’est and il est are two of the most confusing phrases in French.
Not only are they sneakily similar… (They mean almost the same thing!)
But what’s worse…
This confusing pair appears in nearly every French sentence!
If c’est and il est give you nightmares, you’re not alone.
French learners the world over are driven demented by these two irritating little phrases:
- You constantly forget “the rules” of c’est and il est and make frequent errors
- You end up “just guessing” when you speak French and hoping you get it right
- You lack confidence and feel self-conscious when you speak because you’re afraid of making silly beginner mistakes
The result...
You're left feeling like a failure, devoid of the confidence to express yourself in French for fear of making this simple, fatal mistake!
It's easy to feel like you'll never be able to use c’est and il est as freely and naturally as native speakers do. It's just one of those things you'll have to live with, right?
But fear not… help is at hand!
I’ve created a unique 30-Day Challenge that will help you learn and internalise exactly how c’est and il est work, so you can express yourself accurately and speak French with native-like precision and confidence.
C’est and Il est are a really big deal in French because they crop up in nearly every sentence!
Without them, you’ll never be able to hold a conversation in French.
So there's no avoiding it...
If you want to speak French, you HAVE TO master c’est and il est... like it or not!
- Il est avocat OR c’est un avocat ?
- Elle est ma sœur OR c’est ma sœur ?
- C’est une gros ville OR Il est un gros ville ?
It’s enough to leave you feeling hopelessly confused!
The good news is c’est and il est don’t have to be as confusing as your textbook makes out.
Especially when you learn with stories, instead of rules.
And when you master them, you’ll speak French with infinitely more confidence and accuracy.
Introducing the March Challenge:
"C'est vs Il est"
With..
Here’s how the challenge works.
The challenge is based on an exciting original story in French that develops over the 30 days of the challenge.
This is a brand new story, written exclusively for this 30-Day Challenge.
We’ve created the story to be jam-packed with hundreds of examples of c'est and il est.
Every day, you’ll receive one new chapter of the story, along with a short video lesson and simple exercises to help you understand how c'est and il est are used in the story.
It'll take you about 15 minutes each day.
All you have to do is show up every day…
Over the course of the month, the daily immersion will help you absorb this tricky aspect of French naturally, until it just “sound right” to you.
You’ll be able to speak French more freely and fluently, because the c'est and il est will already be where you need them - on the tip of your tongue!
Here's What's Included...
The concept is beautifully simple!
Every day, for 30 days, you’ll get:
