I find these audiobooks and accompanying materials quite effective. First, you hear real French as it is used today. If you want to actually understand French people, this is the French you must learn. Second, the story is interesting and uses a lot of everyday, real life vocabulary, which is the practical vocabulary you will need if you plan to spend time in France or interact with ordinary people (not just waiters and hotel clerks). Third, Camille’s grammar explanations are very clear and she provides practical tips for using her grammar points in real language. I think her explanations are far more comprehensible than those in the French textbooks that I own. Fourth, her advice on using repetition so that the language becomes intuitive is good advice and backed by research. Finally, her method of improving prononciation based on mimicry is also good advice. I only discovered these audiobooks after having studied French for 2 years. I wish I had known about them when I first started because I would have learned French more efficiently. If you want to learn French use these audiobooks and follow Camille’s advice!

The entire À Moi Paris series and accompanying books are a treasure trove of material. The step-wise method of learning makes it easy for the student to start slowly and build. Since I purchased and used all 8 levels of À Moi Paris and all the Verb Drills and the Adjectives books, this review covers all of these. Camille has put a massive amount of work into this material and it is filled with the kind of French you actually will need to learn to speak. She includes a huge number of slang and even vulgar expressions (face it…that is how we all talk…and you need to know these in French) and she covers every verb tense, all those pesky French pronouns, positive and negative sentence structure, indirect speech, cause/consequence, hypothetical speech, and everything else you need to know. I used her series to take me from knowing very little French to just below a level B1 (the level one needs to demonstrate to become a French citizen). If you work with this material and apply yourself in every chapter, you can get to a B1/B2 (Intermediate) level too! It is a lot of work, true. But if you want to really learn French as it is spoken, À Moi Paris will help you do it! Bon courage!! Michael

Over a period of a number of years I have purchased the series of Frenchtoday audio books as well as the grammar aid books. I receive regular e-mails full of interesting tips and information. Everything is very well explained and has helped me no end in improving my comprehension and ability in the French language.
I have no hesitation in recommending the Frenchtoday system to anyone wishing to be confident in French.

Review of – À Moi Paris 8 – Five stars.
I am currently working my way through À Moi Paris 8 and thoroughly enjoying the experience. Camille has again managed to include a huge amount of very useful day-to-day vocabulary in the context of an entertaining story. The main grammatical focus in this volume is indirect speech, but along the way we learn how to talk about web site development, recipes, wine tasting, healthy eating, movies, business meetings, Yoga, and so much more. The combination of printed text, in both French and English, the audio dialogue, at two speeds, and Camille’s very clear and easy to understand explanations of difficult grammatical points makes this entire series of eight volumes the perfect learning tool for any student of French. Camille’s approach to teaching is a refreshing change from older, outdated methods and is tailor made for the student who wants to end up being able to speak real, everyday French with ease. I recommend the entire À Moi Paris series wholeheartedly; it is by far the best learning tool that I have ever found to improve my understanding and fluency in the French language.

I bought my first audiobook, À Moi Paris Level 2: Meet the Gang (which was originally the first novel and under a slightly different name), from French Today a little over 5 years ago and since then have been in sheer awe at how beautifully and wonderfully this series has evolved. At the time there were only 2 À Moi Paris novels – now there are 8 the little prelude one, which all perfectly cover the needs of every French student from beginner to advanced. I bought each new addition as it came out and now own the complete series. And you know what? I don’t regret a single purchase! They were all money well spent. The amount of content and work put into these novels is unparalleled compared to some of the other products I’ve purchased to learn French.
These audiobooks are filled with lively stories and characters that enthrall you and actually make you want to continue to learn French just to see what happens next, helpful study guides to learn grammar in an entertaining way and what seems to be an endless amount of useful expressions and words to really make your French pop and sound much more natural. Camille’s clear, melodic voice and the dialogs at different speeds are perfect for training the ears! What I also like is the clever way she used the novels to build off of one each other: the odd-numbered audiobooks (1, 3, 5 and 7) are used for learning new grammar concepts and then those concepts are put into real-life contexts for better understanding in the even-numbered audiobooks (2, 4, 6 and 8). Question and answer sections are also in the even-numbered ones to further train your listening comprehension and help you strengthen your skills to understand and answer questions.
À Moi Paris Level 8 is nothing short of brilliant! The final novel continues the captivating story of Mary’s life and we see how it all ends. I’m getting teary eyed since it’s the last installment, but as they say, “Good things must come to an end.” Story aside, this novel continues to help you train on the advanced concepts learned in the previous installment, as well as concepts learned in the beginner and intermediate novels. That’s why I love this series so much, every audiobook builds off of one other, unlike most French textbooks where you go through a beginner one and then struggle to find an intermediate one that builds off of that one. Finding a suitable advanced book is even more difficult to find since they all have their own type of assumptions on what you should know already. Back to À Moi Paris, the audio is excellent, the story is once again thrilling, the study guide lessons are helpful as usual and there are even more advanced topics to further develop your French fluency. I already love this one as I have with every À Moi Paris novel. French Today’s method has without a doubt made learning French a thousand times more fun and, most importantly, possible!

Another good book from French Today. Love the two speeds, the new app which allows me to go back a certain amount to relisten, etc.

Thanks for the AMP 8! I’ve been waiting for this and was not disappointed! What a book to end the series! As always it was excellent to listen to – I had tears in my eyes after the last chapter.
Following the lives of the characters from their late teens to adulthood, and then parenthood, affords an opportunity to understand the context of the stories and to assist with visualisation. With this, as the other books, I tend to listen while commuting and Camille’s diction and presentation is excellent – allowing the listener to understand the way glidings and liaisons work in current spoken French.
The coverage you’ve managed to squeeze into this book is a credit to you. Not just indirect speech – everything from building web-sites to cooking, wine appreciation, diet, romance, yoga, dealing with family problems and more. All this set in a new context, and exposition of Patrick’s work. All this helps even more to arm your students with vocabulary, phrases and imagery that can be used in normal life and conversations with native speakers.
The body of work that you have undertaken for this and your previous books is very impressive and a credit to your insight into a different way to impart fluency in “La belle langue”.
I thank you again and again for your method – I love your books – what an inspiration! I thoroughly recommend to students of French not just this series, but your other audio books “Une semaine…” as well as your more directly grammar tutorial works. My facility with French has grown with every book over the last few years!
So Camille and Olivier – what’s your new project? I’m waiting!!

I have been working my way though the À Moi Paris audiobooks and am finding this one as good and fun as the earlier ones. I began as an intermediate French learner, but with big gaps in my grasp of French grammar, and I’d say it’s definitely worth buying the earlier books before this one to get the full benefit of Camille’s brilliant teaching if you’re at all shaky on any area of grammar. They are also excellent for improving your listening skills. However, I’m enjoying this audiobook best of all, as it feels incredibly satisfying to understand when and how to use the conditional. I haven’t got onto the subjunctive yet, but am confident I’ll enjoy learning about that just as much. So I would definitely recommend this product!

As for the other books in this series, this is a great combination of interesting story, in different speeds and a structured grammar lesson all in one. I really appreciate that you can hide the translation so you can challenge before verifying your understanding of the French. Great for intermediate level students looking to extend their apprentisage!

I am now living in France and am anxious to be able to communicate beyond just getting by, to understand and to converse. I have no need to pass exams or do pages of exercises, so French Today is exactly what I was seeking. I have enjoyed and appreciated the weekly Unique French tips and was happy when the A Moi Level 7 was released. It is perfect to be able to skip the English and concentrate on the French content. And it’s great to be able to listen anytime, anywhere. And as a French resident I know the tips are all thoroughly modern and current and often more useful than one could find in a text book. I await Level 8 and in the meantime am contemplating the French Verb Drills for additional review and practice. Thank you for a unique language learning concept.

J’ai étudié le français depuis 6-7 années, et j’ai utilisé un tas de produits. J’ai trouvé votre séries À Moi Paris formidable en ce qui concerne la grammaire et des astuces culturelles. Mais j’ai quelques petites critiques. Premièrement li y a trop d’anglais. Serait-il possible d’expliquer la grammaire en français plutôt qu’en anglais? Pour apprendre une langue etrangère ill faut de l’immersion totale, et je trouve des longues explications grammaticales en anglais distrayantes. D’ailleurs c’est souvent impossible de mettre une forme verbale en anglais en correlation avec une forme verbale en français, et vice versa. Vaut mieux d’appuyer sur le contexte. En plus pour achever une dialogue plus fluide et naturelle , à mon avis, vous devez utiliser d’autres locuteurs.
Enfin je vous souhaite bonne continuation et j’ai hâte de voir À Moi Paris Level 8

This whole series has been invaluable! As someone who speaks a few languages, I have gone through many different methods of study. Camille and Olivier have come up with a really effective method. Some learn best by listening and this series is ideal for that. The “slow” and “street” speeds for listening are a wonderful feature. Thanks for all of the work you have put into this. It has enabled me to make huge strides forward.

I’ve been waiting for L7 with great anticipation. I’ve listened only to the “street” version, now thrice, as I find that version best meets my needs.
Like other books in the series I have found it excellent, and a wonderful use in context of French forms (here moods) I need to understand when spoken and use myself.
Hearing them like this makes it easier to incorporate them into my own speech.
The story line sits nicely with the other books, and as usual, is read by Camille with lovely clarity and rhythm.
Highly recommended. Love the poem!
Looking forward to L8!

French Today is the only audio series I have found that can truly cater to upper level French studies! Most products are good for beginner or lower intermediate level, but do not go beyond.
