Living several lives in one
How emigration changed Angie's perspective
When we think of France, we think of the beauty of the artistic world, the musicality of its language, the delicacy of its pastries, and simply the charm of the French art of living: a concept reminiscent of the history of a remarkable country. The school's image seeks the beauty of artistic periods and focuses on the delicacy of Rococo, fusing it with the modernism of our time.
The idea of a new way of teaching languages stems from the lived experience of joining a new culture. Learning the language academically is just the tip of the iceberg.
Discover the origins of the school's founder to understand her personal journey toward adopting the Spanish language.
CHILDHOOD
Ang, an architect and language teacher, was born in September 1993 in Paris, France, the second daughter of a family of five.
Distinguished for both her linguistic and artistic abilities, she stood out from a young age for being bilingual in Spanish and having a surprising imagination in the field of art.
Coming from a multicultural family, she built her identity through the Italian-French traditions passed down to her by her mother, such as baking, writing, and even sewing; punctuated by the Mexican influence of her father-in-law, who taught her the traditions of the culture.
Already showing an interest in art throughout her childhood and adolescence, she enrolled in a school of applied arts to pursue a career in architecture. At the same time, she trained as a language teacher using the FLE method from the age of 16, taking online courses. She began teaching languages at just 17.
The expatriation of her entire family to Mexico marked a major cultural and psychological change in her life. She gradually lost her French identity in favor of a Mexican identity, which was difficult for her during the integration process.
However, she was immediately accepted into the architecture school where she studied for five years.
Having completed her studies in foreign languages at the age of 18, she continues to work as a French teacher to partially finance her university studies.
TEENAGE YEARS
CULTURAL INTEGRATION
She completed her architecture studies in 2017 and successfully graduated with a thesis project on a funeral home, where the concept of death is debated. The French-Mexican perspective plays an essential role in the development of the work, allowing for an amplified analysis thanks to the multicultural heritage.
This was a notable linguistic challenge given that the studies and the thesis were written entirely in Spanish. This period of integration was not without difficulties and challenges, but thanks to Ang's consistency and perseverance, this experience provided her with unique techniques that helped her more fully assimilate Spanish within the Mexican cultural framework. She obtained her Mexican nationality through naturalization after six years.
During this period, she began to implement learning methods based on her own experience with her "test students," where she conducted an extensive study of how this method reflected psychological and linguistic results in the students.
PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS
In 2018, Ang's professional career at the French school was interrupted by a job opportunity in Architecture in Paris, working on the urban planning of Greater Paris and the implementation of BIM in the 2025 Climate Plan. This experience in France reconnected her with her roots.
Upon returning to Mexico at the end of her one-year contract, she dedicated herself entirely to French lessons: motivated by a new group of students, she set up a classroom in her parents' studio.
She focused primarily on guiding students to pass the DELF exam, using the earnings to fund her master's degree in BIM (intelligent architecture).
At the suggestion of one of the three students in that group, Ang decided to create a website in one day to share her work with greater impact.
ALLO FRANCAIS
Allo Français was born: Ang widely shares the wisdom she gained through her expatriation, and her experience will impact the future of the students who apply to her thanks to a vivid and revolutionary method. In 2019, she invented the "Split" principle, a method of assimilation through personalization using psychological methods such as mentalism, hypnosis, and positive manifestation.
She measures the fruits of this method by establishing invisible tests for her students that show fabulous results. The 2020 pandemic marked the pinnacle of business with the shift to digital. This opened the doors to internationalization in the Americas.
In 2022, she expanded her field of vision and moved to Los Angeles, California, and then to Topanga in 2023, where she gradually built a network of English-speaking people.
IDENTITY
Very present in the media, Ang strives to raise awareness about access and the right to language learning and implements a Fair Trade program in her business: offering affordable prices for each country and ways to ensure consistency in student attendance, while offering fair compensation to her employees for their skills and time.
She uses social media to support her courses but also to portray herself as an ambassador for France and Mexico, her two beloved countries. She now offers her creations under a brand name that perfectly reflects her personality, combining her passion for literature and her artistic talents.
In 2023, she opened a new branch of the company: "La Marquise des Anges: traditional pastries," in homage to her mother, who gave her her first name after her favorite movie.
