I really enjoying the French magazine subscription. I love the fact that you can turn off the English and only put it on if you need it. I also love the fact that it is read in a slow enough pace that it gives me a chance to understand it being that I’m a beginner. I find the contents interesting and I just can’t say enough about how much I love the fact that I subscribed to this magazine.

It is , not only, such a pleasure seeing and hearing Camille speaking French but also a much desired working example of all aspects of the French language. I particularly enjoy the short videos concerning French history.
Camille speaks so clearly and so elegantly that it is a superb stimulus for striving to become as French a student as possible.
I am 65 and will never regret signing up for all of the French Today resources. Thank you to you and your crew

Extraordinary is my experience every time I research every new article regarding French people, places, and things. Very educational is the clear narration and the photos and illustrations on the subjects available each month. The Library has detailed the lives and work of such interesting people of French habitation, such as Claude Monet and Gustave Eiffel. I loved exploring the residence in the Loire Valley, the chateau of Leonardo da Vinci. Every item is presented fully and clearly, and the experience is so pleasant and enriching.

The free explanation areas that back up my subscription are excellent and full of great advice for understanding how to form sentences and the grammar. This is easier to understand than when I was at school and more enjoyable

I love French Today. I look forward to the emails with handy hints and stories and I have also subscribed to the monthly magazine and use the articles to practice my listening in French. They are very interesting and use everyday phrases that French people use.
Thank you Camille and Oliver

have enjoyed joining Camille and Oliver and their friends and family’s stories for the past 4 years.
Buying into various courses and the monthly magazine subscription.
What keeps me here is the real life stories – the entrance into another culture and Camille’s explanation of how things work when speaking French and being in France.
The feeling that one is getting to know Camille and her family – it has a personal touch – in a world where so much is becoming more and more impersonal.
The courses are professionally and clearly put together – addressing the very thing that I find are stumbling blocks!
A wonderful journey. Thank you for all that behind the scenes work!

I’m really enjoying the articles as a way to learn French culture, history, and interesting locations in France. I also like studying the sentence structure and how to word something as we would say it in English. The audio portion is great for improving pronunciation and listening skills, not to mention comprehension skills, as well. Love the photographs and link to You Tube videos.

There’s so much free content out there it’s easy to be reluctant to pay, but this product is totally worth it. A free podcast is only free if your time is worthless, whereas paying a little to make real progress is the best deal you can get. The app is well thought out and the versions of speech are very productive. The content is interesting which makes all the difference because it makes learning easier and gives a cultural foundation at the same time.

The French Today Library is a great tool, and incentive, to keep learning and improving conversational French. Topical subjects, i.e. Fete Nationale, les JO, as well as other interesting and useful information like commenting on vacation or movies. Clearly written, easy to follow text. A great investment in my French language learning.
