French for Spanish speakers
Your Spanish is an advantage. Learn to use it without falling into the traps.
French and Spanish share thousands of words, which gives you a real head start. But that same closeness hides traps: false friends that flip the meaning, sounds that don't exist in Spanish, and spelling that isn't pronounced the way it's written. At Frenchee, native French teachers show you how to leverage what you already know and fix the mistakes Spanish speakers typically make, from your very first lesson.
Why French
- ✓Native teachers who know the specific mistakes Spanish speakers make: they catch false friends (embarazada ≠ embarrassée, largo ≠ large) before they become a habit.
- ✓Targeted pronunciation work: the nasal vowels (on, en, un), the French guttural R, the soft J in 'je', the U in 'tu', and the silent final consonants.
- ✓We use the closeness of the two languages to speed up your vocabulary, without carrying over Spanish grammar or intonation.
- ✓100% online, one-on-one lessons at your own pace, with schedules that fit both Spain and Latin America.
- ✓Preparation for the official DELF and TCF exams, with personalized coaching and material built around your goal.

Frequently asked questions
Is French really easier if I already speak Spanish?+
Partly, yes: you share much of the vocabulary and grammatical structure, so you understand written texts very quickly. But that closeness also creates traps, like false friends and the habit of pronouncing French 'the Spanish way'. Our teachers build on your advantage while helping you avoid those mistakes.
What are false friends and why do they trip up Spanish speakers so much?+
They're words that look like Spanish but mean something else: 'embarrassée' means embarrassed, not pregnant, 'large' means wide (not largo/long), and 'entendre' means to hear, not to understand. As a Spanish speaker you reach for them by instinct, so we work through them systematically from the start.
How do you handle pronunciation, which is the hardest part for me?+
We focus on the sounds that don't exist in Spanish: the nasal vowels (on, en, un), the guttural R, the J in 'je', the closed U in 'tu', and the silent final consonants. With listening and repetition drills in every lesson, your ear and mouth gradually adjust.
Can I prepare for the DELF or TCF with you?+
Yes. We offer dedicated DELF and TCF preparation with native teachers, exam-specific material, and mock tests. We tailor the plan to your level and your exam date.
