25.01.2022 For those who don't know there is a great feature called Language Learning with Netflix that could be great for your students for listening/reading skill develo...pment. It extends beyond the usual Netflix with features/options, see screen shot, such as a built in dictionary to use with subtitles, an automatic pause at the end of each subtitle option and a catalogue of foreign language films. It's not a Netflix feature but a browser extension made by a third party which you can install. https://languagelearningwithnetflix.com/ Enjoy and happy Monday! See more

10.01.2022 Watch French movies at home with SBS On Demand We have partnered with SBS Australia to highlight a legendary actor, director or theme each week and to bring y...ou a selection of great French films ready to enjoy at home with SBS On Demand. This week, Philippe Platel, Artistic Director of the Alliance Française French Film Festival, has chosen Audrey Tautou. "After last weekend dedicated to Romain Duris, we are logically continuing with Audrey Tautou, since those two French stars often crossed each other's path throughout their careers. "I'm an interesting subject" said Tautou to the Guardian about her self-portraits exhibition in Arles in 2017, as if it was necessary to state it, as if it wasn't possible for her to exist when the myth of the young Amélie Poulain was brutally arriving very early in her career. Yet, Tautou is without a doubt interesting, even fascinating, whether she is playing in the delightful and subtle comedies by Pierre Salvadori (2 to watch this weekend, including the hugely successful "Priceless") or when she is shining under the soft and sad glance of Tran Anh Hung." You can find the movies easily by adding their ID number on to the end of the following URL: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/ 1 - ÉTERNITÉ ID number: /1288867395856 Valentine is twenty years old when she marries her beloved Jules. Ecstatic to be united, the two are further delighted to bear many children. However, the bliss does not last and tragedy befalls the couple, leaving the family scarred by the fragility of existence. In the years that follow, joy is reinstated with new romances, marriages and births. With the introduction of each new generation, one thing remains consistent: the unavoidable cycle of passion, love, turbulence and sorrow. 2 - HORS DE PRIX ID number: /1419360323991 Irène is the paid escort of wealthy older men in the south of France. Suitors and their credit cards in tow, she hops from one ritzy Côte d'Azur hotel to another. Wandering down to the bar one night after Jacques, her current lover, has fallen asleep on her, she sees Jean, who's deserted his post behind the empty bar for a nap on the sofa. Soon after, she decides that he's wealthy, therefore eligible. It doesn't last, and the morning after brings exposure, recriminations and bitter farewells. Irène makes no excuses: she wants men who can provide her with clothes and jewellery and meals at the finest restaurants. Time passes and Irène and Jean meet up again in the south of France where she spends all his money just to teach him a lesson. Broke and dispirited, Jean is looking for a job as a dishwasher when Madeleine, a wealthy widow, takes a liking to him and launches him on a career as a gigolo. 3 - DE VRAIS MENSONGES ID number: /169143363836 This delightful French comedy stars Audrey Tautou as Emilie, a hairdresser who receives a beautiful, but anonymous love letter. She initially throws it away, before realising that it could be the way to rescue her mother who has become lonely since her husband left her. Without thinking further, she sends the letter on to her, but Emilie doesn't yet know that Jean, her shy employee, is the letter's author. 4 - LE FABULEUX DESTIN D'AMÉLIE POULAIN ID number: /31127107877 Mischievous Amélie lives alone and works in a café. When she finds a trove of toys hidden for 40 years behind a skirting board in her apartment, she sets out to find the owner. This impulse of generosity sparks more benevolent acts and along the way she discovers love. This engaging and beautiful film has delighted audiences around the world.

Letters with accent marks (or diacritics), as well as some special ...symbols that we don't regularly use in English, are an important part of learning to write in French. Writing them by hand is straightforward, but knowing how to type them is not so obvious! That's why we've put together a handy printable guide (for PC and Mac users!) to help you learn to type in French with ease: https://bit.ly/AFM-typeinfrench
