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.

Flight Attendant Phrases

Dec 21, 20192 min read

Thank you for your patience

English: Thank you for your patience

French: Merci pour votre patience

For any kind of delay or any situation where the passengers are made to wait, like waiting for the entertainment system to reboot, it’s always nice to thank them for their patience. This is a phrase you will, and should use very often. It acknowledges that their time is important and it’s useful to add on to the end of any announcement about a delay or inconvenience.

Merci=Thank you

Pour=For

Votre=Your

Patience (f)=Patience.

Merci pour votre patience.

You’ll also hear ‘’Merci de votre patience’’. There is a slight difference in usage between “Merci de…” and “Merci pour…” However, the difference is negligible. Our Canadian French for Flight Attendants audio course opts for “Merci pour…” as it’s more analogous to “Thank you for…” in English.

Module 3 of Canadian French for Flight Attendants is available. Learn the French that flight attendants commonly use on the job: greet passengers, stow bags, drink and meal orders, duty-free service, seat changes, wheelchair requests, weather announcements and much more!

Modules 1 and 2: French basics and pass your flight attendant French test.

Flight Attendant Souvenirs. Souvenirs d’un agent de bord. Morocco, December 2019. Maroc, décembre 2019. I must say the Marrakesh airport is really quite an impressive piece of architecture. It was 30 Dirham (just over $4 Canadian) to take the bus directly from the airport to the old town. I’m cheap though, and opted to walk 5 minutes from the airport to the main road, where the local bus to the old town only costs 4 Dirham. Frankly, I would’ve walked the whole way, as I love exploring new cities like that, had it not been raining. Waiting for the bus, a nice double rainbow appeared.
