What people are saying about us


Many of our subscribers have shared their praises and thoughts on what we do. Here is just a small sample:

Great Program!!!
I've taken a few years of French in high school, but am a bit rusty. I'm really enjoying dusting off the cobwebs. This is a great way to improve listening comprehension since the speakers speak at a medium speed. Highly recommended to anyone learning French!

Great program!
I've loved "News in Slow French" from the first time I heard it. Out of all the French learning programs on the Internet, yours is the best, in my opinion. It's a great length and a great format, and I never tire of listening to Catherine's beautiful voice or Rylan's animated commentary.

Thank you so much for producing such a high-quality program. It's evident that it's a labor of love.
