    Haven’t gotten to levels 5 & 6 quite yet, but so far I can whole-heartedly recommend the French Today series. Practice and due diligence are the keys.

    A Moi Paris Upper Intermediate was my first purchase of audiobooks from French Today. I have since purchased the Advanced Level, the complete series of French Drills, and Mastering French Numbers. There is a huge volume of material here! The amount of work that Camille has put in to all these audio books is impressive.
    I am slowly working my way through everything – I usually do a little bit every day. I find Camille’s methods effective, her explanations are clear and concise, and her emphasis on repetition, repetition, repetition is key to making progress. I enjoy – and find useful – her weekly emails, and I often refer to the French Today website to find answers to grammar and vocabulary questions which arise from time to time. Here, too, you will find a wealth of useful and interesting material.
    Thank you to Camille and Olivier for making such an excellent product available to all of us, and at a very reasonable price.

    The entire range of the French language and of French life and culture (and every aspect of linguistic learning), are meticulously and (yes!) lovingly presented in this extraordinary system. I taught French in the USA many years ago, and then I lived for long and short periods all over France, but even for one like me, frenchtoday is a living treasure. I learn something from it every single day. Camille and Olivier have devised and developed what is certainly a pedagogical miracle. I admire them and their achievements–as will you as you make joyful progress in polishing or perfecting your French.

    Excellent resource. I bought Upper Intermediate then went back a stage to reinforce skills. The explanations and exercises are real and relevant.

    I would give the audiobooks the highest rating. They are well done. Also, I appreciate the quick replies and the help I have been given with installing the audiobooks as well as receiving the newsletter. I study daily using the audiobook as well as your newsletters. There was an adjustment to make in order to have the audiobook put on my Chromebook, but it does seem to be working well. It just takes getting used to. The technology can be frustrating, but the lessons are very well done.

    I am so happy I found you! It has been a dream of my to learn to speak French since high school. I studied French in high school and one year in College. I am now 61 years old. I pick up French again about two years ago. I am enjoying your simple and effective teaching method, you explain things so clearly. I enjoy that you teach formal French, but most importantly to me, you also teach the way people speak on the streets. That is exactly what I am interested in, speaking and being able to communicate with others, which you are making it possible with your teaching method.

    The audio is terrific. The contemporary language and idiomatiqure expressions are so helpful. I would suggest a change in the menu navigation so the user can pinpoint parts of the grammar section more specifically. Right now the outline is very general and it’s inefficient trying to select a specific part.

    Great for both active and passive comprehension. I like to listen through twice, one without the transcript, one with. I’ve used flash cards to help memorise the grammar. The 6th book is more about acquiring vocab compared to the 5th’s intensive explanations about grammar – wasn’t sure that was good in the first instant, but it has helped me acquire new phrases and idioms quickly

    I am considering buying the next level when I’m through this book, but it is expensive. Would love a subscription version!

    Very easy to use and follow French audio learning system. I use it on my iPhone, computer and iPad. It all synchs very well and is easy to follow. What’s good is that it’s created in nice bite-size chunks so I can plan my learning sessions very well. Camille also explains everything in enough detail but not too much to send your head spinning.

    At the end of the Upper-Intermediate level I will definitely buy the Advanced level, and probably the French Verb Drills. Thanks,

    Excellent correlation between the vocabulary and grammar with the practical use of things in the stories! Your email updates are always informative and help with small lessons along the way. Ç’est possible que je saurai parler français un jour!
