About us

After 10 years of working with nonprofits and private school. I decided to launch Ceci est la France.

Bonjour, je suis Benjamin, le fondateur de Ceci est la France. J’enseigne le français au Vietnam.

Ceci est la France est un petit condensé de ce que la France a à offrir : une langue magnifique, une culture millénaire, et une gastronomie sans pareil.

Je suis votre guide pour cette aventure, que j’ai mise à votre disposition après plus de 10 ans d’expérience dans l’enseignement et le partage des connaissances.

The Story Starts

Well, bonjour there! Welcome to Ceci est la France, the place where we’re all about the French language, and we’ve got quite the story to tell you.

A Decade in Vietnam

You embark with me on a journey over a decade ago to Vietnam, armed with dreams and an earnest, albeit comical, attempt at pronouncing “Banh Mi.” Discovering Vietnam and it’s wonders. La belle Hạ Long, la chaude Hồ Chí Minh, La nostalgique Hà Nội, la romantique Hội An

From French Whisperer to Private School

My initial foray into teaching French began in the quaint corners of the neighborhood, where I was affectionately dubbed the “French Whisperer,” for making the language as accessible and delightful as a breeze through the Seine.

Yet, my ambition stretched further. I transitioned to teaching in a small, heartwarming language center, replete with the charm of a Parisian nook rather than the grandeur of an institution, yet rich in warmth and genuine camaraderie—and, occasionally, fine cheese and wine recommendations.

My reputation as the go-to French connoisseur flourished, leading me to a prestigious role in one of Hanoi’s most esteemed language schools, and eventually, an exciting tenure as the native French speaker at a distinguished school in Hà Nội.

Crafting the Ultimate French Learning Experience

Now, here’s where it gets spicy -I had starting Ceci est la France by creating short animations around French language and culture but wanted to bring it a step further. I realized there was a real hunger  for the crème de la crème of French language education.

I set out to concoct the ultimate learning experience, akin to a culinary masterpiece in the realm of language education—a course so refined, it promises the intellectual stimulation of a Michelin-starred feast for the mind.
