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.

We expect to take off soon.

English: We expect to take off soon.

French: Nous prévoyons décoller bientôt.

Sometimes, your pilots will make an announcement after push back from the gate, but before you take off from the runway. If there’s a particularly long line-up of airplanes in front of the runway for take-off, for example, your pilots may make this announcement to inform everyone of the expected wait time for take-off.

While we used “partir” as a generic word for “to depart”, in this case, you can use the verb “décoller” to specify “to take off” (from the runway).

Décoller=To take off

Nous prévoyons=We expect

Bientôt=Soon

Nous prévoyons décoller bientôt.

Nous prévoyons décoller dans environ 10 minutes.

The verb “to take off” is “décoller”. You may remember from earlier posts that the noun “take-off” in French is “décollage” (m).

Pouvez-vous ranger votre sac pour le décollage? Can you stow your bag for (the) take-off?
