A list of useful resources to complete your French learning on your own.

You Tube channels

Why do we love this? First of all, it's free, and you have access to so many topics! Subscribe to YouTube channels about your favorite topics and watch them during your lunch break or at least twice a week in the evening. Don't forget to make your list! We also follow astronomy channels, cooking channels, humor channels, and so much more! Find something you love that will motivate you! Click on the section you are interested in.

Neuroscience, General Knowledge and International Politics.

It's probably one of our favorite channels. Idriss Aberkane is a wisdom Professor who has studied in different countries and continents. He speaks clearly, and you can learn a lot of vocabulary from him about many topics! We recommend especially the "conferences".

General knowledge about absolutely anything!

The program includes interviews, vlogs, historical gaming, medieval recipes, tales, historical facts, and so many treasures! We love this channel, which offers short (20-minute) videos on many topics!

An important figure of French History

Stephane Bern presents the most essential figure in French history. You will learn not only French but also culture and History. It's perfect for increasing your knowledge about France and better understanding the French people.

Megaprojects and buildings all over the world.

He is a geographer specializing in skyline landscapes and created "Looking 4" to convey his passion for skyscrapers, bridges, dams, and other megaprojects. Believe us, the videos are high quality and interesting!

Artisans, artists, farmers, Chefs and ancient works.

Different documentaries of extraordinary people from Switzerland who have decided to live from their passion. You will discover unknown or forgotten works, artists, farmers, and more. This is an excellent tool for focusing on specific vocabulary in each episode.

Gardening and sustainability living.

For gardening lovers and self-sufficiency living. Brian interviewed people everywhere in France, who decided to live another life far from the city, building their own houses or creating sustainable gardens for their families.

E-book with paper version

Check out some exciting books and find the audio version. Then, follow by reading to focus: your brain will associate the word your eyes see with what it can hear with your ears.

You can choose classic authors like Voltaire (one of my favorites!), Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, Balzac, and so many more. You can also choose more contemporary options like Bernard Werber and Amélie Nothomb and specialize in some topics! For example, we read many books about politics, archeology, and the environment. You can choose animal books, psychology, gardening, art, technology, cooking, or even magazines and what we call "BD". Don't limit yourself to a big old (soporific) book!

TV Shows and movies

Finally, watch TV SHOWS and movies as much as you can. Even with English subtitles first and then French subtitles. Ask us our movies list, it's too long to fit there ;)

Here is a list of TV Shows we highly recommend!

_ Bureau des légendes (spy)

_ Ovni(s) (comedy)

_ Des gens biens (dark humor)

_ Au service de la France (sarcasm and ironic!)

_ Lupin (suspense)

_ Plan Coeur (RomCom)

_ Dix pour cent (comédie dramatique)

_ Family business (stupid but fun)

_ Maison Close (historic, drame)
