Anne, Grantham NH USA Verified Owner –
I love these articles and find it so helpful to listen to each one several times at the Modern French speed. With each listen my comprehension improves and I find I do less translating in my head. The topics keep me interested, too. I highly recommend French Today as an effective method to improve your ability to comprehend modern spoken French.

What a wonderful program! The articles are very interesting and a perfect way to learn more about France and French culture. The best feature of this subscription (as well as with all the French Today audiobooks) is that Camille is the narrator! There is never an AI-generated voice. As a native French speaker, Camille provides the perfect way to listen to spoken French. Bravo, Camille and Olivier, on the quality of these excellent products!

These audio articles are fabulous! They are of high quality, authentic and with the sub-titles and variable speeds, are highly versatile to use. I enjoy listening to them myself and I use them when I teach French too. As a busy teacher these are a massive timesaver so it is money well-spent, especially as I know my adult students find them interesting and useful.

This is the absolute highest quality audio for learning French that is available. It is wonderful that they have so many options for using the resource in different ways. You can slow the audio. You can read along with a French text with or without English translation. The articles are very interesting and I feel engaged with the content. Absolutely everything I have ever purchased from French Today has been the highest quality and provides tools for study and learning that make a huge impact on my progress. Thank you for all you do!

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

Helene Layton, Willow Grove, USA Verified Owner –
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.
