The one thing all au pairs should have if they are beginners in French

When I landed in Minnesota as a brand new au pair, I had decent English on paper. What I didn’t have? The faintest idea how to have have a natural conversation with my hosts without stuttering or looking for my words in complicated situations.

Nobody hands you a manual for that stuff. So I made one, for you, but for French.

The French Survival Kit for beginners 🎒

It’s a free, no-fluff resource built specifically for au pairs living in (or about to land in) France. No grammar lectures, no 50-page PDF you’ll never open. Just playful, practical tools to help you actually use your French in everyday au pair life.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Vocabulary games built around your real day-to-day tasks

  • A dialogue to help you talk about your weekend plans with your host family (yes, that conversation)

  • Songs to train your ear and get more comfortable with listening

  • Simple sentences to introduce yourself with confidence

Whether you’re already living the au pair life and tired of nodding along without understanding, or you’re still prepping your suitcase and want a head start — this kit gives you something to actually practice with, not just read.

And if you try it out, I’d love to hear from you. Drop a comment below — what’s missing, what helped, what made you laugh. This kit is just the beginning, and you’re helping me build what comes next.

À bientôt, Allison 🇫🇷
