Standard and Informal Canadian French

We teach you standard French. But native speakers won't speak like a French textbook. Thus, we also teach you to recognize informal pronunciations, non-standard vocabulary, and anglicisms. When you inevitably come across them, you won't get thrown off. We also teach you the Canadian accent, which is what most passengers will speak with.

Generic. No specific goal.

Other courses are generic, with no specific purpose. They're made by people who do not know what kind of French a flight attendant needs.

Please reload

Overwhelming. Excessive.

Other courses try to simultaneously teach reading, writing, listening and speaking. It's overwhelming. And excessive for the goals of flight attendants. Flight attendants rarely need to read or write with passengers.

Please reload

Share course time with other students.

Weekly class time is shared with other students. Each student will only end up with a few minutes of speaking practice per class. You might pick up other students' mistakes. You only get to hear the native speaker teacher speak a little bit each week. Heavy emphasis on writing and reading homework.

Please reload

Class schedule. Classroom environment.

Many feel nervous practicing speaking in front of others, especially in front of other more outspoken students in class. Class schedules may interfere with your own.

Please reload

Textbook Parisian French only.

Parisian French only. Focuses only on formal, textbook French. Native speakers won't speak like a French textbook. You'll get thrown off when they use colloquial language with you.

You’ve landed but you’re still waiting for the ramp agents to arrive and guide your plane to the gate. After requesting that passengers remain seated, it’s also common to request that they keep their seat belts attached for the time being, until the plane parks and the captain switches off the seat belt sign.

Garder=To keep

Votre ceinture (f)=Your (seat) belt

Attaché(e)=Attached.

Flight Attendant Souvenirs. Souvenirs d’un agent de bord. Morocco, December 2019. Maroc, décembre 2019. From Fes, I took a day trip up to Chefchaouen, the blue city. It was early in the morning when we left Fes and the shops along the road were just opening up, selling gourds and tagine pots and other trinkets.
