This is just to say that I am thoroughly enjoying my subscription to the monthly audio magazine, which is full of insights into travel and culture in France. I love the accompanying photos too and the fact that the articles reflect an authentic personal experience. I have been inspired to put new places on my ‘to go’ list and also to re-visit with new eyes places I know quite well, such as the Palais Royal in Paris (November edition). Most of all, the magazines are helping me to develop a more vivid way of expressing myself in French when describing my own adventures!
Thank you for the great work you do for French learners.
J’adore votre magazine audio que j’écoute régulièrement. Et vos lettres régulières. Je les trouve tous très instructifs et intéressants et cela me donne envie de visiter à nouveau la France. Je leur donne une note de dix sur dix. J’attends avec impatience votre prochain magazine audio.

Ce qui me plaît, c’est que je peux écouter les audios en français moderne. J’apprécie également les liens vers des leçons supplémentaires et des histories bilingues. J’aime bien les audios sur les endroits intéressants et beaux en France et ça me donne envie d’y retourner.
Which part of France will we be transported to this month? Have I been there before? Is it somewhere I would like to go? Perhaps it is something I have never heard of before. For the price of a weekly cup of coffee we are introduced to French culture and different regions of France with Camille’s monthly magazine articles. I am so pleased when I realise I understand most of what I am listening to. Your teaching methods work so well, Camille! Thank you both yet again for all your hard work.
After studying French grammar in the UK for 2 years, I realised that I could still not speak French or understand French people. After purchasing the audiobooks and more recently the monthly audio magazine, my confidence to speak French has improved. Camille is very easy to understand in the audiobooks, and help you to pronounce French much better as her words are very precise and clear. The choice to listen to modern French is a great bonus too. The audio magazines have interesting topics to read and pronounce out loud, but they are carefully crafted too, to help you build up vocabulary and choice of french words. Very good value for money too.
I really enjoy listening and reading the monthly magazine articles. I use them as an additional learning tool, but also, for pleasure. I’m learning so much from them about French places and culture. They have inspired me to travel further around France next time. The articles are so easy to listen to on your phone wherever you are, whatever you’re doing.
I’m delighted with the new audio magazine. Je l’adore!!!
I have to admit, I’m quite a lazy student so these are perfect for me. I listen whilst walking my dogs; first in ‘modern’ French followed by ‘enunciated’. There are generally some things I still don’t get so when I get home I read the story in French (and speak along with it) and finally in English if I need!
The articles are really interesting and informative and studying doesn’t feel like a chore! It’s a brilliant idea and we’ll worth the subscription 😃
Many thanks, Jackie
Ps. With the magazine, the audio books, blogs, videos etc, I feel like I know Camille. I would recommend French Today to anyone!
The audio magazine is a system that helps with words and phrases that you may know when reading, but miss when you hear them. The “click” to display the English translation, and then hide from view is a wonderful tool that saves time and reinforces comprehension. The subjects are varied and introduces varied grammatical tenses.
