Born in France and shaped by four continents, Déborah Pham van Xua has lived a life woven with cultures, languages, and adventure. A trilingual French native and lifelong explorer, she has taught French from China to New Zealand — always driven by one question: how can language help people feel they belong?

Through her school Feel Good French, Déborah helps expats and retirees in France break through their language blocks, connect with locals, and finally feel at home — not just geographically, but emotionally and culturally. Her approach blends practical communication, mindset coaching, and genuine human connection.

Her mission is clear: to help you move from living on the fringe in an expat bubble to living within French life — comfortably, confidently, and joyfully. Curious and multi-passionate, Déborah also hosts a growing YouTube interview series, where she explores the real journeys of her students — their fears, their breakthroughs, and the beautiful process of finding their voice in French.
