"Our new French language learning method, based entirely on French cinema and TV content, mirrors real-world language use in culturally-rich and diverse contexts. By engaging with short film clips, students are able to have an immersive experience, discovering what French speakers say and how they say it in which types of contexts and for which communicative purposes.”
