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

Nov 1, 20191 min read

Fuel, fuel truck

English: Fuel, fuel truck

French: Carburant, camion-citerne à carburant

Airplanes need fuel to fly, needless to say. Idling on the ramp also burns fuel. For example, if you’re waiting in line for de-icing for prolonged periods, you’ll also burn through a lot of fuel.

Sometimes, the fuel truck is running late or is having mechanical issues itself. If your flight is delayed because you’re waiting for fuel, you’ll need to inform your passengers of such.

Carburant (m)=Fuel

Camion (m)=Truck

Citerne (f)=Cistern, reservoir, tank

Camion-citerne (m) à carburant=Fuel truck
