    Camille is indeed a gifted teacher and a gift to French learners as well, esp to those who are learning it as a second language. I immigrated to Quebec from India – an anglophone country, as a professional and learning French was a prerequisite. So I attended French classes at Alliances Françaises for 6 months and was able to clear my immigration interview. But I know I just managed to pull it through because at AF they avoid English as a plague and many of my questions remained unanswered because ofttimes I could not relate things I already knew in English and re-learnt them in French. If I were able to do that it would have definitely reduced the pressure of learning a lot and would have rather reinforced the concepts more firmly. Please do not think I am finding fault with their methodology, I am simply giving my impressions of their style and method which perhaps was not suitable for a person like me. Thus an interface (English) was scrupulously eschewed which could have made French-acquisition easier and more fun! But Cammille has used that interface very skillfully and successfully chez French Today. I thank her, her husband and the entire team of French Immersion teachers who have collectively put up such a beautiful site which could truly be called a French learner’s paradise! Their blog articles are absolutely wonderful. They are extremely relevant to ‘la vie quotidienne française’ and are a great tool to learn French culture. Her audio books are masterpieces, with the accompanying audios recorded at different speeds being an icing on the cake! Her books (I am about to finish the second in beginners’ ultimate pack) take 5-stars hands down! I have already purchased lower and upper intermediate packs and will come back to post my reviews for them, too!

    I have bought this series of audiobooks to reinforce my French language classes. Camille is very clear in her explanations and she has certainly helped me understand sentence structure and pronunciation more effectively. I like having the street French option.

    I have been using the Windows 7 app to listen to these audio books for a few weeks. I’m really enjoying it. Working through the questions is great. It all seems ‘easy’ until I actually try to answer a question!!

    I love this! Camille understands the absolute beginner and launches the course from the very beginning to make success possible. I find French more difficult to learn due to its written vs spoken pronunciations, but Camille helps de-mystify many of these issues. Plus, she is engaging and has created a story line to keep interest up. The free app they have makes everything easy to use and accessible from one’s phone anywhere. Try it, you’ll like it!

    FrenchToday is one of the best French learning resources around – I am so glad I found it! I have been studying French for a few months now, but I decided to start out using Level 1 and using the “Street French” speed. Listening at this speed definitely increased my understanding of French. Camille’s explanations after each lessons are very helpful, much clearer than what you will get with textbooks or other resources.

    The app is definitely what elevates this from “great” to a “must have” when you’re learning French. Instead of getting just PDFs that you have to open on your phone or that you have to print out, the transcripts of the lesson is in the app so you could follow along very easily. Added bonus – you can hide the English translation of the text! The fact that the app is available not only for iOS/Android but also for Mac/Windows is a nice addition since you can easily continue your French learning on your different devices.

    Merci beaucoup Camille & Olivier! FrenchToday is a gift for us language learners!

    I like the method but as an absolute beginner I find, in the story chapters, that jumping back by 15 seconds of audio is too much for my brain to listen and repeat successfully. I’d like to see an additional repeat button which is just 5 seconds which is say 10 words or about one sentence.

    I have been learning French for the past three years, attending a U3A class once a week and by means of another electronic product, and now know quite a lot of vocabulary and understand much of the grammar. With the help of a dictionary I can write and be understood by my French friends in Bretagne. However, I had almost given up hope that I would ever be able to understand spoken French or participate successfully in French conversations. Having just finished working my way through À Moi Paris I have new hope. I look forward every day to the times I will spend working with Camille and engaging with the characters she has created for the novels and, although I find the glidings, liaisons and elisions very difficult, I am confident that by the time I have completed the course and perhaps attended an immersion home stay I will have the confidance and ability to participate successfully in day-to-day French conversations. So a very big ‘Thank You’ to you Camille and your team.

    French today is the most successful method I have tried. Learning through audio, slow, normal, street French, pronunciation and verb drills has improved my confidence enormously. The Thursday French tips are really helpful. Camille and Olivier give a feeling of friendliness to the site, unlike other sites that are formal and just a business. I also recommend the immersion weeks. Just spent a week with Julie in Provence, excellent. Hoping for your continued success.

    I am working my way through this extensive course and am thoroughly enjoying every minute, although I speak a little french I am finding the natural spoken french very handy and love the fact that there are 3 speeds to choose from. Will be purchasing more once this course has been completed.

    Thank you Camille

    Must-have french app –
    These audio /text programs are very important to me. One screen with text and audio plus the -15sec button, it is extremely efficient. If you are an intentional french learner, memorize the chapters and add a daily reading of any fiction, I read Harry Potter, I am sure I can be fluent in a few months.

    I started with the free audio 6 chapters and then the beginner level, now I am on my intermediate bundle. I will post again when I go to the next level.

    After several attempts to learn French I searched on the web for a comprehensive language course that offers a structured way of studying for beginners. I found ‘French Today’ and was impressed by the very unique way they tackle this. I didn’t think twice before I ordered the whole beginners package as they offer a full refund if you are not content with what you’ve bought. I am moving quite slowly but steadily and I am very pleased with the method. To support my studies I recently also ordered the first three drill packages and enjoyed the first session today. The whole course programme is very well conceived interestingly structured in stories and also available on an app, which I mostly work from. I can highly recommend this course and am sure that it is not only valuable to beginners.
