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.

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.

Bags should be stowed fully under the seat in front of the passenger for take off and landing. However, you'll see that some passengers will inevitably leave bags between their legs or behind their legs for take off and landing. As you do your safety checks before take off or landing, you can remind these passengers to stow bags under the seat in front of them, emphasizing that the bag needs to go in front of their legs.

Devant=In front of

Les jambes (f, pl)=the legs

Pouvez-vous ranger votre sac sous le siège, devant les jambes, SVP?
