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!

This is by far the best course I have found for those wishing to speak French. It tackles, head-on, the differences between written and spoken French ( I had previously spent many hours listening and re-listening to Open University audios, trying vainly to reconcile the spoken words I heard with the transcript in front of me. Only now, with the benefit of the French Today course have I understood the differences). I also like the early concentration on the present tense, with the less common tenses, and subjunctive – do most of us really need these- delayed to more advanced levels.

Have followed Camille and her French Today website for years as my commitment to my French studies has waxed and waned. What hasn’t faltered over that time is the excellence of Camille and Olivier’s products, be it their website and blog, the À Moi Paris series, the verb drills and fundamentals, or Camille’s recent foray into live videos on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. With the right amount of application, one cannot help but improve when using all the highly professionally produced resources available from French Today.

I appreciate the way that Camille builds vocabulary by reintroducing unusual words and constructions from earlier books and chapters so reinforcing our familiarity with colloquially spoken French.

I really enjoy and appreciate your method and efforts to make learning this wonderful language accessible. I have compared it to other methods and find your way to be much more enjoyable and effective. While I have visited France, I have not yet been able to return. I hope to do so in the near future. Meanwhile I study mostly at home and by myself. I also converse with other French speakers by Whatsapp and find myself more and more confident in both writing and speaking. The most recent audio for me has been the folk tales. It is quite the challenge but also very interesting. Thank you once again for your efforts, particularly during this virus causing so much isolation.
Bien Cordialement. Mark Stocks

Camille and Oliver are passionate about their language teaching. They continue to update material and to use the latest technology. They are supportive and invested in everyone’s progress.
The style and presentation of Camille’s material is unique and super clear to follow. Camille has a great voice for these projects, very easy to listen to.
I like her focus on contemporary spoken French as this connects with my goal to converse with Francophones in a natural way.

I have been living in France now for 5 years during which time I have tried many ways to improve my French. A Moi Paris is the first program that offers just the right balance between grammar and oral comprehension, and, most importantly for me, in manageable “bites.” I never feel overwhelmed and can stop and pick back up at my own pace without losing the thread. It must have taken a lot of hard work to develop the programs to this level and I am very happy to have discovered them. Thank you Camille and Olivier.

I’m just finishing up L5 now after having gone through Levels 1-4. I really feel like I’ve learned quite a bit, and I’ve progressed to watching French-language TV shows on Netflix. I can actually understand a fair amount of the dialog (the French subtitles help a lot), and it’s because the À Moi Paris series does such a good job explaining everything. I remember the first time I came across a character in a movie who said “Je ne sais pas” but pronounced it “shay pa” and recognizing the gliding that Camille pointed out. Teaching “street French” rather than textbook French is really helpful since that’s how people really talk.

I am more than happy to recommend French Today as the most effective way of learning French as it is spoken by the French, as opposed to learning French as a second language to pass exams.
I spent three years learning my favourite subject at school in Scotland in the 1960s and finally, 50 years later, completed a five-year course here in Perth (1/2 day per week+homework) culminating in A-level French. Those courses were taught in the classroom in the traditional way and although very useful for reading and understanding French grammar and pronunciation and for passing exams, not as useful for confidently speaking French. However, finding French Today after completing the A-level to me was the best thing since sliced bread! It is a much more effective way of learning today’s spoken French and to me is the next step in being able to do so.
I thank you for all your hard work in establishing French Today and for your continuing updates and newsletters. I thoroughly recommend French Today to anyone who loves the French language and wants to better communicate in French as it is spoken today.

Firstly, an apology to Camille and Olivier (and the up and coming Leyla!) for not having written a review on frenchtoday.com before – they’ve become such a part of my life that it’s easy to forget to be grateful to the creators :))
I have been using the audiobook series for two years starting with the first story and proceeding to level 7 and 8. I have always felt competent with reading French and its general grammatical structures from school and periodic self-learning, but I struggled with listening skills, particularly with the ‘street French’ that I was completely unaware of…until I listened to Camille’s audios and read her notes and blog!!
Her team of characters are ‘always in the car’ when I set off on journeys by myself and I have benefitted immensely from repeating the stories (many, many times).
I picked the audios up for our first sojourn to France in 2017 (five months) and many of the L4 to L6 stories and vocabulary came in very useful; I’m in France again for several more months, this time in the south; and now the upper intermediate are proving their worth as I get to know regulars in the gym, the village, the tennis club my family go, and at the judo club my sons and I attend.
Finally, my wife and children have started to use L1, and the exercises are so beneficial that I’ve started to formally do the exercises in the upper intermediate levels – rather than just trying to listen to them or answer the exercises while I drive :)).
Professionally, I’m an educator and coach, and have authored several books, and as an avid learner I can highly recommend Camille’s audios – they are highly accessible (I can always rely on Camille to figuratively hold my hand through the more complex sections), and I love being able to switch between ‘normal’ and ‘street French modes’ … and the grammar reviews are becoming more and more important at this level.
Thank you! And keep up the good work :) Alex
