The news in easy French: American Airlines remet des écrans dans ses avions

American Airlines va réinstaller des écrans de divertissement dans plus de 800 de ses avions. Ces avions sont surtout utilisés pour des vols à l’intérieur des États-Unis. Les écrans seront installés à l’arrière des sièges. Les passagers pourront regarder des films et des séries pendant leurs vols. La compagnie aérienne a commencé à retirer ces écrans il y a presque dix ans parce qu’elle pensait que les passagers préféraient utiliser leurs propres téléphones et tablettes. Mais American Airlines affirme maintenant que les passagers veulent de nouveau des écrans dans les avions.

Vocabulaire : réinstaller = to reinstall / écrans de divertissement (m pl) = entertainment screens / vols (m pl) = flights / à l’intérieur = inside / sièges (m pl) = seats / compagnie aérienne (f) = airline / retirer = to remove / propres = own / de nouveau = again

English translation

American Airlines puts screens back on its planes

American Airlines is going to reinstall entertainment screens on more than 800 of its planes. These planes are mostly used for flights within the United States. The screens will be installed on the back of the seats. Passengers will be able to watch films and series during their flights. The airline started removing these screens nearly ten years ago because it thought passengers preferred to use their own phones and tablets. But American Airlines now says passengers want screens again.

Immersive Slow French YouTube Vlogs for Learners

Can you please recommend some youtube channels that focus on everyday life, lifestyle, and natural spoken French rather than traditional French lessons? Ideally, channels with a similar slow, clear, immersive style, and that provide both French and English subtitles, like these channels:

Ella Entwistle, Adeline Talks, Your Best French, French Facile

Thank you!🤍

I’m particularly looking for someone who is willing to commit long-term and maintain regular practice rather than losing interest after a short period of time.

The news in easy French: Les Canadiens choisissent d’autres destinations que les États-Unis

Beaucoup de Canadiens évitent les vacances aux États-Unis. Certains sont en colère contre les droits de douane imposés par le président Donald Trump et ses remarques sur le Canada. D’autres disent que le dollar canadien est plus faible, ce qui rend les voyages aux États-Unis plus chers. Les Canadiens ont fait environ 800 000 voyages en moins aux États-Unis en avril par rapport au même mois de 2024. À cause de cette baisse du tourisme, les États-Unis ont perdu environ 2,35 milliards de dollars l'année dernière. Certains Canadiens voyagent plutôt vers des pays comme le Mexique et le Costa Rica. D’autres choisissent des vacances au Canada, dans des endroits comme la Nouvelle-Écosse et l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard.

Vocabulaire : éviter = to avoid / vacances (f pl) = vacation / droits de douane (m pl) = tariffs / remarques (f pl) = comments / faible = weak / rendre = to make something be / chers = expensive / par rapport au = compared to / baisse (f) = fall / plutôt = rather

English translation

Canadians choose other travel destinations instead of the United States

Many Canadians are avoiding vacations in the United States. Some are angry about the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump and his comments about Canada. Others say the Canadian dollar is weaker, which makes trips to the US more expensive. Canadians made about 800,000 fewer trips to the US in April compared to the same month of 2024. Because of this fall in tourism, the US lost about $2.35 billion last year. Some Canadians are traveling to countries such as Mexico and Costa Rica instead. Others are choosing vacations in Canada, in places like Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

How I learned more French as a beginner

I studied and am still learning french, and I learned early on that grammar rules. I struggled for quite sometime understanding and making sentences, until a professor indicated Les neuf (9) sortes de mots.

There are elements to any language and once you understand the structure, the learning flows. I thought I would put this here for anyone whos looking to improve their French.

Making and understanding written and oral works in french improved immensely once I understood how sentences are structured.

Les neuf (9) sortes de mots 

  1. Le nom
  2. Le verbe 
  3. L’adjectif 
  4. Le pronom 
    1. Personal 
    2. Démonstratif

     

  5. L’adverbe 
    1. très / trop / beaucoup
  6. La préposition 
    1. À / dans / chez / en

     

  7. La conjunction 
    1. Et / donc / mais / parce qui

     

  8. L’intégration 
    1. Ah! / chut / zut /

     

  9. Le déterminant 
    1. Le / la / les / du / de la

I built a mobile word game entirely in French and it turned out to be a fun way to build vocabulary

Hello everyone! I am a French speaker and a huge fan of word games. I always found that French had very few good mobile word games compared to English, so I spent a few months making one myself. It is called Ratatouille de mots (photo attached so you know what to look for on the stores).

The concept is simple: you get a grid of letters and a theme, and you swipe to trace the 5 hidden words that match the theme. Early themes are easy everyday vocabulary like fruits, colors or food. Later themes get more clever and teach you real French wordplay, like "a color hides inside each word": maNOIR contains NOIR, guiMAUVE contains MAUVE. There are also themes built on French expressions, like things you can lose in French (la tête, le nord, la face).

I think it works nicely for learners because every level groups words around one topic, so you review vocabulary in context instead of random lists. And the letters are right there in the grid, so even when you do not know a word yet, you can find it and learn it.

It is free on iOS and Android, made by just me on my spare time. If you try it, I would love to hear if the difficulty feels right for learners. Merci beaucoup et bon courage avec votre français !

Where to watch French movies?

Hola! (just joking)

Learning French, trying to maximise on my exposure to the language throughout the day, such as putting on a podcast as background noise.

Want to start watching movies/shows in French too, where can I do that?

I know Netflix has the dubbed versions, but not for all films, I don’t want to spend the time going through movies that have the option.

If I wouldn’t have to pay for it, it would be a bonus.

What is your most effective but unconventional method to learn?

I'm not talking about regular way of study, like with a textbook, but something that YOU found works best for YOU, even if it's not one of the traditional ways of learning a language.

Like for me when I was learning English, I had the regular classes in school, and even took extra classes in smaller group, but I was still very mediocre. But when I just switched the language of the entertaining content I was consuming at home to English, (webtoons, YouTube videos, movies, TV shows) I improved so much I was so happy T-T

Do you guys have experiences like that, or something even more special ?

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply 🙂

I made an AI song to learn French kitchen vocabulary. Does this actually help retention?

Been working on a side project that generates songs with target vocabulary embedded in the lyrics. Research shows musical encoding helps long-term retention.

This one works both ways. French speakers learning English or English speakers learning French, kitchen vocabulary, about 2 minutes.

Genuinely curious whether this feels useful to language learners or just a novelty. What's your honest take?

Reviews of 'Learn French with Clémence'

I am currently learning French at my university, pretty going well. I am at B1 Level. However, I need more resources for practicing French and preparing for TEF Examination.

I have been seeing the advertisement of 'Learn French with Clémence' via Instagram and it has now back-to-school experience for lifetime access. I am not Indian or Pakistani. I am actually learning French not only for Canadian PR, but also for Francophone workplace. Is purchasing course of 'Learn French with Clémence' worth the price. How's the AI-speaker Arthur, on her platform?
