Conversations Just Got Faster, and Every Plan Now Has a 30-Day Guarantee

Some of you told us Michel sometimes took his sweet time before answering. He's a mononcle, he likes to think. But we agreed: it was too long. So we rebuilt the way he listens. Here's everything that changed this week.

Michel now replies in a heartbeat

We reworked how Michel decides you've finished your sentence. Before, he'd sometimes wait politely through a long silence, especially after a statement, and the conversation lost its rhythm. Now he answers in about a second or two. Every time, whatever you say.

The difference is hard to overstate. The back-and-forth finally feels like sitting across the kitchen table from your actual mononcle: you talk, he jumps in, you laugh, you keep going. No dead air.

One small trade-off: Michel is now quicker on the draw, so if you pause a long while mid-sentence to hunt for a word, he might jump in. Don't stress. Tell him « attends, attends! » and keep going. He rolls with it, like any good mononcle would.

Stuck for words? Michel notices now

Freezing mid-conversation is the most normal thing in language learning. It used to mean silence: you stuck, Michel waiting, nobody talking. Now, if you go quiet for a bit, Michel gently steps back in: he'll reassure you, simplify his question, or offer you an easy choice like « Un café ou tu manges tout de suite? » so you always have something to grab onto.

No pressure, no calling you out. Just a hand extended when you need one.

Goodbyes that feel like goodbyes

Say « au revoir » or « à demain » and Michel now wraps up properly: a quick word of encouragement and a warm send-off, instead of launching into one more exercise. Small thing. Feels right.

A 30-day money-back guarantee, on every plan

We believe the best way to learn Québécois French is five real minutes of conversation every day, and we want you to try it fearlessly. So every subscription now comes with a simple promise:

Practice with Michel every day for a month. If you don't feel more confident speaking French, email us for a full refund. No questions asked.

That's the whole policy. No forms, no hoops. We can offer it because daily conversation genuinely works, and because you'll know within a couple of weeks that it's working for you.

And if you've been thinking about the annual plan

The pricing page got a refresh too: the annual plan works out to 4 months free compared to paying month-to-month: $119.88 for the year instead of $179.88. With the guarantee behind it, there's never been a lower-risk moment to commit to your French.

Everything above is live right now. Start a session and feel the difference in the first thirty seconds.

On jase bientôt.
