Clap Français offers online French courses to understand and speak the French of films and TV series: a club with weekly live classes, a shadowing cohort, private lessons, a conversation group and a self-paced course. All courses are taught in French by Marion Trotté, a qualified French teacher.
Each course works on one or more of these three skills. None of them is enough on its own: combining them is what frees you from subtitles.
The words and expressions of real conversations, with their register and how to use them.
The references, humour and context that the characters never explain.
Repeating lines with the actor to train your ear, your rhythm and your pronunciation.
Vocabulary + culture + listening = you understand the film without subtitles

Start with the free level test (about 30 minutes, in French). If you want to make steady progress all year with live classes, the French Film Fluency Club is the most complete option. If your priority is understanding fast spoken French and improving your pronunciation, choose Shadowing 101. If you are between A2 and B1 and prefer to study on your own, French With Subtitles is made for you.
The French Film Fluency Club (one live class a week), Shadowing 101 (two live classes a week for four weeks), La Loge (small-group conversation, for Club members only) and private lessons (one-hour video lessons). French With Subtitles is the only self-paced course.
Most courses are designed for B1 to C1 learners. French With Subtitles is for A2 learners and false beginners who are aiming for B1.
All courses are taught in French. Marion also speaks English, so you can always ask for help with a word or an explanation. French With Subtitles also comes with French and English transcripts for every video.
