Watching movies is a great way to learn French! For a few months now, we have been compiling French movies for you in our Pinterest page.
Choosing just 10 movies was not an easy thing but we managed to make this list for you. Don’t forget to put the subtitles on!
Our advice: if you have an elementary level in French, we recommend to opt for subtitles in your mother tongue. You will understand the movie and still recognize words you will have learned in your French class. For students with intermediate level or above, please, choose French subtitles!!
Below are the movies teachers and students liked the most. EnJoY!
