Having recently subscribed to French Today’s Monthly Audio Magazine, I can say that I am hooked on it. It is like having a French friend who is also a world traveler, historian and good story teller. I can listen a few times to get the idea of the story and then, with the translation right there, I can reread and fill in the words and tenses all while learning about some new interesting place. It is fun as well as a great way to become accustomed to hearing spoken language in context of a delightful story.
I began my subscription to the magazine only about a month ago (at the end of December) and I’ve been planning to drop you a line to tell you how much I have been enjoying it. It really is excellent. I don’t know what superlatives to choose…. The quality and the standard are absolutely top/first rate. The topics and your treatment of them are all interesting. Your spoken voice, Camille, really is fantastic. You speak so clearly and … I don’t know how to say it…. with such terrific animation, intonation, enthusiasm. You should feel very proud and satisfied. I really congratulate you wholeheartedly.
I am trying to dust off my high school French and become more proficient in conversation prior to a French immersion experience. These magazine articles are perfect for me. First I just listen (in Enunciated mode – but when I improve, I’ll try Modern mode). It’s easy to press Stop and (a) go back 10 seconds to try listening again if I need to, or (b) read the French transcript, or, if necessary, (c) read the English translation. Plus, the content of the articles helps me learn about France, its history and its culture.
I have recently subscribed to your Audio Magazines because I am spending winter in the UK.
The magazines are excellent for keeping in touch with the language and there is a good variety of subjects to make it interesting.
The ability to switch between enunciated and modern French is ideal along with the on/off translations for any new words.
A great product – much appreciated!
I have been studying French with Camille and French Today for over a year. I enjoy both the audio books and the monthly audio magazine. There is a wide variety of content and excellent practice for improving French speaking skills.

I am really enjoying the monthly audio magazine. It’s very interesting to hear about various places in France as well as different subjects – and the photos are great too. My time is limited and it’s great that I can easily find one of the articles to listen to when I am walking or doing cooking in the kitchen. The vocabulary range is quite wide in the stories so I’m learning a lot of new words and expressions. The magazine is a real complement to the various lessons in the courses. I’ve been avoiding focusing on the verb drills as I don’t like grammer – however, I’m starting to study those now and though they are difficult for me, they are the best drills that I have found to really learn the various verb forms.
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.
