为中文母语者设计 · French for Chinese speakers

These sounds confuse Chinese ears — even after years of English class.

By the end of a Shweh lesson the pieces click: one sound, one sentence, then your voice next to the model. Built for Chinese adults learning to speak French — not another worksheet.

Why learn with us

Most apps were built for English speakers. Chinese has tones and no articles. French has gender, endings, and sounds your ear was never trained to hear.

We teach that gap first. One phoneme Chinese ears miss. One living sentence. Then you record — so the work does not evaporate when the live class ends.

Kids keep the song. Adults keep the scene. Same sound system, ten-plus years in the room with Chinese students, and a module you buy once.

Built for Chinese ears

R, nasals, u / ou, /ʒ/ in je — not a tone, not 日. See the mouth. One IPA per lesson.

Speak, don’t translate

Je m’appelle is a chunk. You do not translate 我叫 word by word. Grammar comes after the line is in the mouth.

How a lesson works

French for Chinese speakers, where quality is the sound — not another worksheet. Five beats. One speaking lesson.

Why it works

Phonetics first. R, nasals, u / ou, liaison — the sounds Chinese ears miss — sit under every lesson so the line you speak actually lands.

  1. New words

    Hear the word. See the mouth. Say it back beside the model.

    HEAR · RECORD
  2. Make a sentence

    Build the living line — chunks, not word-by-word translation. Nested drills when you need them.

    CHUNKS · JE + VERB
  3. Dialogue

    Speak your turn in a short scene. Listen back. Keep what you said.

    SCENE · YOUR VOICE
  4. Grammar

    One pattern after the line is already in the mouth — short, clear, tied to what you just spoke.

    ONE PATTERN
  5. Exercise

    Check what stuck. Soft continue into the next lesson when you’re ready.

Hi, I’m the founder.

I have spent 10+ years teaching French to Chinese kids and adults — in the classroom and with the audience that already follows the lessons.

I made Shweh because it is the course I wished they had when the live class ended.

One sound Chinese ears miss. One sentence that uses it. Then your recording, so the work does not evaporate overnight.

Speaking coach for paid student calls. Thirty minutes on the take you already made — not a random conversation class.

What people are saying

“After two lessons I could say je m’appelle without translating 我叫.”
Wei@wei_learns
“Sound, sentence, my voice. My son takes the song. I take the adult track.”
Lin@lin_sh
“Nobody had explained liaison that plainly. I book a call only when the R still fails.”

“Ten minutes plus the record button is what he will actually do after school.”
