French & Faith

Jean 1:1. For a parent, a spouse, or three people at a table. Same container every week, so a table does not need a new plan.

1. Read the French once, slowly. Everyone else only listens.
2. Read it again at a natural pace. Do not translate between the two readings.
3. Each person names one word they can say.
4. Close together: Au commencement était la Parole.

Some language houses became networks because they invented one public format and then refused to abandon it. The street interview is not ours. Ours is Scripture spoken slowly in living French.

French & Faith teaches French through the Bible so learners grow in language and in faith at the same time.

The format is named: Un verset, une voix — one verse, one voice. Five beats, then stop.

1. 01Show the verseThe French is on the screen, or on the page, before anyone explains it.
2. 02Hear it twiceOnce slowly, then at a natural pace. The second time is not a correction. It is the music.
3. 03Lift three wordsOr one structure. Then one sentence a learner can reuse this week, outside the verse.
4. 04One faith notePlain language. Half a minute, not a sermon. The text stays larger than the comment.
5. 05A line to repeatThe verse, a fragment of a prayer, or a blessing. The episode ends in the mouth, not in a summary.

• Believers learning French

  For worship, study, mission, marriage, or a life in a French-speaking country.

• French-speaking believers

  Who want the language of Scripture slower, clearer, and explained without being talked down to.

• Homes and small groups

  A church table or a homeschool hour that needs a gentle curriculum, not a textbook dropped on the desk.

If you want a phrasebook for a weekend in Paris, this is the wrong door.
