The best Frenchfor kids program
About Us
Little French Speakers was created in 2020 by Ludivine Doom, our founder, during COVID. When in-person classes shut down, Ludivine — then a teacher in Seattle, Washington — moved her students online so they could keep learning.
She quickly realized the existing French learning materials in North America weren't good enough: the methodologies felt old school and outdated. So she created her own — the exclusive Little French Speakers "Play to Fluency" Method, developed over more than five years of research working closely with children.
What she discovered went beyond language. Kids weren't just learning French online — they were developing cognitive skills, social confidence, and self-belief. And one key factor drove our success: regular teachers who truly follow their students, providing the support that makes every lesson a fun experience.
Our biggest smile comes when students and parents tell us about the positive impact Little French Speakers has brought to their lives. That's why we do what we do.

Our classes are adapted to the students in order to make classes comfortable and inclusive. Teachers adapt their language according to students’ individual needs. For beginners, our teachers have a specific program to ease their onboarding. Our method is developed through games and immersion starting with simple words, mimes and gestures. As their level improves, the teacher will use more complex words to further grow their confidence. All of our teachers are bilingual and can also use English to explain as needed.
The optimal length depends on your child’s age and concentration. The free trial helps us determine whether 15, 25, or 50 minutes is best so that learning stays fun, effective, and motivating.

According to research published by MIT neuroscientists, children are most proficient at learning a second language before age 10. Their brains are wired for language acquisition, making early childhood the optimal window for bilingual development.
The benefits of early language learning extend far beyond just speaking French:
🧠 Enhanced cognitive development and problem-solving skills
📚 Better academic performance across all subjects
🌍 Improved cultural awareness and empathy
💪 Greater confidence and communication skills
Studies from the Modern Language Association show that children who learn languages early develop stronger critical thinking abilities and perform better on standardized tests. At Little French Speakers, we teach kids ages 5-15, with specialized approaches for each age group: – Ages 5-6: « La Petite Académie » (15-minute classes, play-based) – Ages 7-15: Standard program (25 or 50-minute classes) The best time to start? Now! Every week of immersion builds their foundation for lifelong fluency.
