  • More Than 50 Years of Language Teaching Experience

  • The Language Workshop Online was founded by François Thibaut, who has devoted more than 50 years to language education.

    His work has been featured by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, CNN, New York Magazine, and New York Family.

    In 2019, the French government named him Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Palmes Académiques for his contribution to education and French culture.

    Today, François and The Language Workshop Online team continue that tradition through personalized French and Spanish instruction and carefully selected native-speaking teachers.

      • “… There’s a world of difference between teaching young children a language with methods designed specifically and exclusively for them, such as the Thibaut Technique … and teaching them with methods adapted from lessons for adults.”

        Associated Press

      • “It was a real pleasure having Mr. Thibaut as my private teacher. He is so experienced… and knows exactly how to design and structure his private classes based on the student’s needs.”

        Marina K

      • “I see how eager the children are to learn. For them, learning Spanish is play. I am a physician, and I know that the brain develops fastest when children learn language early. They grasp concepts easier and their pronunciation is perfect.”

        Dr. Wilczeski

      • “François Thibaut teaches children how to speak French. His love of the children and enthusiasm for what he is teaching is legendary among New York parents.”

        The New York Times

      • “It is the only program of its type that approaches language so naturally at such a young age. Mr. Thibaut really cares about the children. It shows, and they can feel it.”

        Mrs. Nerlino

      • “I can say with no hesitation that there is no program that can possibly compare with the Language Workshop This is the only school that has exposed my child to another language in a way that she can retain.”

        Mrs. Siegel

      • “I have learned more French with Francois in just 10 weeks than what I did in 6 months of college 20 years ago! The materials are fun, instructive, and simple…, yet challenging enough to learn and keep learning.”
