Lately I have been taking French Today with me on my daily walks. The app is on my phone and it’s super easy. I set it on the Enunciated speed so I can “echo” Camille as I walk along. This has helped develop and maintain the muscles in my mouth, which can become slack if you’re just reading or listening. As a result, I am speaking aloud for at least 30 minutes as I walk along. The L6 begins the introduction of some really interesting vocabulary and idioms that help me move beyond the dreaded intermediate plateau. I have purchased L7 and L8 and look forward to that challenge. And of course, I listen many times to the same thing, including Story Mode at Modern French speed. Awesome.

I am a ‘mature’ student (retired lady) who has been studying French at an adult college, but after 3 years was not able to continue. Having received your weekly newsletters for 18 months I knew immediately that Frenchtoday was the way forward! I am thoroughly enjoying the A Moi Paris audiobooks and am surprised I had not tried this amazing way of studying before . Thank you Camille and Olivier, you are truly inspirational.

Thankyou, Camille and Olivier,
I have just started working on the Level 5 audio book and really appreciate the clear explanations and the 2 speeds of recording. (I’m still using the slower speed at the moment)
I have thought about purchasing your audio books before and I am so glad that I actually have done it!

The most effective course that I have ever done. My French conversational skills are improving daily and I highly recommend doing the Verb Drills also.

I like these audiobooks for several reasons. I can listen and test my comprehension, re-listen if I don’t understand, follow along in my own language, and also use them for dictation practice. I also appreciate the two speeds for listening.

I would start with À Moi Paris series. I’m learning at the L7-L8 advanced level; however, I find it’s helpful to go back to L3-L4 and L5-L6 intermediate levels to learn or reviewed what I missed from the distant past. In fact, even though the beginner’s L1-L2 are too basic, I enjoyed listening just to review and to work on my pronunciation and accent improvement. The story is compelling, and I want to keep listening for more. The study guides are outstanding because Camille focuses on the vocabulary, the grammar, the sentence structures. I so appreciate the various speed that Camille recorded so that I can start with the street French speed then go back listening at a slower speed to really study each sentence.
The fact that Camille and Olivier are French and are also American citizens, they understand both cultures and difficulties that we face when we learn French. Studying French Today’s audiobooks, I feel as if I have a private teacher on a one-on-one basis because it seems that Camille can read our mind.

After living in France for 4 years, doing my master and PHD, and returning back to England, trying to keep up and improve my French, I have tried different methods and ways, and to my delight, your method is the most successful, it really works, in the sense that it trains you to speak and understand (normal) French, not books’ so French.
Your method builds up ones confidence very quickly in every aspect, I especially the accent.
I would recommend it to anybody who is serious about studying and learning real French. Also the weekly news letter (blog) is invaluable and enlightening. Your dedication and commitment to teaching French is of the highest standards ,and I deeply thank for your wonderful help and support.

I have really enjoyed working my way through these Audiobooks. The storyline is interesting and the dialogue is totally realistic of how real people speak French. I can practice trying to commit to memory certain phrases that might be applicable to me the next time I’m having a conversation in French. I can listen when I’m driving in my car, walking my dogs or studying with the audiobook on my iPad as I look at the text – all good ways to practice listening and comprehension and to improve your vocabulary.

I am very impressed with the French Today audiobook that I purchased recently. I’m currently working my way through “À Moi Paris L5 – Upper Intermediate”. The detail and examples provided by Camille are very helpful. They helped to cement the relevant grammatical rules into my memory. I also enjoyed listening to the story of Mary, Sophie, Claudia and Patrick in French.
While watching Camille’s videos describing her life in France, she strikes me as a “real person”, not just as an instructor following a script. That’s one of the differences that attracted me away from products such as Rosetta Stone and Babbel to French Today.

I have valued the complete FrenchToday series — using the beginner level as an excellent review and progressing through the intermediate levels to develop comprehension, enhance vocabulary and speaking ability. The stories and characters are interesting.
What is especially unique is the FrenchToday App which integrates the pdfs and MP3 in a very user-friendly way so the focus is on learning not on managing technology.
Well-worth the investment of time and money.
