Just another review I would like to add. I just moved to Bordeaux from the US 6 weeks ago. I had a basic French language background, and had also purchased A Moi Paris 5 and all the Verb Drills. I started an intensive French Language class at a school which I am sure you are familiar with, and it was awful. I actually came home and studied French Today, to get the understanding of the lessons for the next day. One day I stayed home from school and studied French Today all day to prepare for the exam the next day.
Your method is so clear, so precise and easy to understand, and it just makes SENSE. I stopped going to the school, lost my money of course, but I thought if I had just spent the time studying French Today, that I spent at that class, I would be so much farther ahead. So, now I spend time every day going over your material, and am so much better off for it. Your explanation of the Imparfait and Passe Compose, and when to use each was perfect. I wanted to tell my teacher to quit confusing everybody and just use the example of Foreground and “selfie” for Passe Compose, and the “back ground” or painting a picture and setting the scene, for the Imparfait.
Let there be no mistake, I have a ton of French books and tried many different methods, but French Today is by far the most effective and easy to comprehend. Learning a language is difficult, but I just keep telling myself “repetition is the key!”
I am so grateful!

It’s hard to pick out one single article to praise as everything Camille and Oliver do are outstanding. And let’s not forget Leyla, another Camille in the making and cute as a button. I live in the US where one rarely hears French. It’s an uphill battle not to lose the language I love so much. Thus, I do my French Verb Drills; I follow Camille on Facebook, Twitter and of course, I read and study with the Audiobook Series. Daily. Even if just for 20 minutes.This year I’m also spending a week with a French teacher in France. Total immersion!
I highly recommend French Today to anyone wanting to study French. Whether you are a beginner, and I know it’s tough. We Anglophones look for all the helper words that simply don’t exist in French. but once you’ve accepted that fact and get down to conjugating and using the French verbs, you are on your way.
Bonne chance!

This my second audiobook purchase from French Today and I’m very satisfied. The new app makes it easy to use. I really like being able to go back 15 seconds at with a tap of the finger. The two story speeds are good. I use the slow speed first time through, then challenge myself with the faster speed.

I’m thrilled with Series 5 and 6 especially since I can listen at home and in my car with Bluetooth! I love that I can listen over and over again! I learned French growing up in England and from my French pen friend when we exchanged. Now almost 60 years later I’m renewing my goal to become fluent. It’s difficult living in Tampa where one rarely meets a French person but I found a French teacher who tutors me and corrects my accent! Your lessons are excellent and I recommend them highly!

These audio books are a boon to anyone wanting to learn French. They are wonderful. I have been involved with several languages all of my adult life and have found these audio books to be of immeasurable help. I especially appreciate the premise that one needs to learn how French is actually spoken and not just learn to “book read”. Keep up the great work guys!

Great product. I try to spend 5 to 10 minutes a day learning French. I’ve used a variety of apps, books, CDs, etc. This one is the most fun. I’ve learned more from this series in a couple of weeks than I learned in using other products over many months.

Another great product from Camille and Olivier. I own just about every audiobook they sell, and I love them all. As a French teacher who left the classroom to be home with my own kids (and then a home schooling mother), I am always looking for ways to maintain my French. To my pleasant surprise, the materials from French Today don’t just help me maintain, they really help me get better and better every time I listen. More than any text book, more than Rosetta Stone or any other software I have tried, Camille and Olivier have brought me closer than ever back to the level of fluency I had after living a whole year immersed in the home of a French family. The story of Marie and the gang throughout the years has made me feel like I have a whole new French family to engage with, and I thank Camille and Olivier for their work. When I first started ordering their products, several years ago, I was worried that they would be too simplistic, or too slow. I am thrilled with the “street” French that Camille offers and I find that in terms of vocabulary and expressions, as well as pronunciation, even the beginning levels of A Moi Paris have something to offer me as a continuing learner. So so glad I found these, and I incorporate the material into the tutoring I frequently do. A gem, worth every penny.

I’m working on Level 6 at the moment and it is perfect for an Intermediate student. The Slower audio is about 75% the pace of the Street audio which is fast enough to test me but not fast enough to confuse me. I like all the extra vocabulary which appears regularly as well. A fine effort! I’m already looking forward to Level 7.

I have used Camille’s audio-books with great success to enhance my understanding of spoken French in an interesting context. I have always used the “Street” version to help with that.
With this series, understanding is enhanced by the use of familiar characters and a consistent developing story-line – and of course Camille’s excellent clarity of expression.
This latest book moves forward some ten years on, and like the others explores life, love, relationships, travel, work (and Paris) in an accessible manner. Thus, the vocabulary and usage of French for daily life by the main characters (Marie and her friends) both helps comprehension and equips the listener/reader with phrases and sentences for their own use.
I have listened to this and previous books several times while driving to and from work. I find that little phrases or new words become more apparent with repetition (for me this time it was “bosser”!).
I am very happy to recommend this book (and indeed all of Frenchtoday material) unreservedly.

As a serious “self-study” student of French for the past five years, I have in my collection no less than a dozen French self-study packages prepared by various authors and publishers of repute. And when asked which package I would recommend to fellow seekers / learners of French, I’d say without reservation—the French Today À MOI PARIS series, now in 6 volumes. The 6th volume offers the same excellent pedagogical materials presented (like the previous volumes) in a most interesting manner—as narratives. Learners like me would find the audio features of the series very valuable in learning not only French, but FRENCH TODAY.
I definitely look forward to the release of volumes 7 and 8 of À MOI PARIS before long.

This product is just the thing I have been looking for. I am someone who learns best in context, and it is extremely useful to learn concepts not in an isolated grammar, but within the context of a story.
Joining grammar with real life conversation helps me to process it more easily, and to develop a reflex for how the language sounds and should be spoken. I’m looking forward to finally nailing french tenses with this advanced series. Thank you!

First off, I’m not a newbie to French Today, nor am I a newbie to the A Moi Paris series. I have the other installments and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I was thrilled to see this latest installment in the series and bought it without a single hesitation. Upon going through the first chapter I was blown away. This novel is perfect for taking my French to an even higher level. As usual the dialogs have different speeds, one read slowly to prepare the ear and then another one read at everyday French speed so you can really challenge those ears and improve your listening comprehension, which to me is the hardest part to master in a foreign language. Every chapter starts out with a dialog, followed by grammar explanations and then exercises. Upon starting a chapter, I’ll listen to the slower-speed dialog twice and then I’ll do the same with the faster-speed dialog. I then read the dialog to check what I missed and finally work my way through the grammar and exercises. The A Moi Paris series is hands down the most fun, creative and effective way to learn French. I’ve seen Mary grow up and become an adult throughout these audio novels. I’m hooked on this engaging soap-opera-like story. The story alone is what makes me want to go through the book since I’m usually dying to see what will happen next.
