Learn French with the one and only Lena Mahfouf

Lena Mahfouf pour Paris Match, 2023

If you’re learning French and looking for inspiring, authentic content, Lena Mahfouf is someone you should definitely know.

Lena Mahfouf, also known as Lena Situations, is a successful French content creator and entrepreneur who recently made the Forbes 30 Under 30 cover — a huge achievement! She’s known for her creativity, ambition, and positive energy. Lena has built her own brand, Hôtel Mahfouf, and runs two YouTube channels:

• Lena Situations – her main channel with lifestyle, fashion, and motivational content

• Lena Retournement de Situations – a more relaxed, behind-the-scenes vlog-style channel

  
  

For French learners, Lena’s videos are a great way to improve your listening skills. She speaks in a natural, everyday French — not too formal, not too slang-heavy — and always uses up-to-date expressions. It feels like you’re listening to a conversation with friends.

A special recommendation: every August, she launches a video series called “Vlog d’Août” — daily videos throughout the month. It’s the perfect summer challenge if you want to improve your French in an immersive way for free : watch one video per day and see how your French improves!

Merci Lena !
