Ah, Netflix. You may be cancelling half the shows we love or suggesting us things that show you really don't know us at all. But you're still our favourite place to go when we need something new to watch! <\/span><\/p>\n

Especially us language lovers. Where else would we go for <\/span>films and shows in our target language<\/b> when we're learning? <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you want to brush up on your French for an upcoming trip, or you want to stand out in your following job interview, watching French films on Netflix is a sure way to boost your linguistic skills!<\/p>\n

If you haven't already jumped on the bandwagon of <\/span>using Netflix to help you to improve your French<\/b>, here are some suggestions you should really look into!<\/span>

Le scaphandre et le papillon<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly<\/span><\/i><\/a> at first glance might make you think of something like <\/span>Me Before You<\/span><\/i>, but it isn't that miserable at all! <\/span><\/p>\n

This <\/span>film<\/span> is based on the true story of Elle magazine editor Jean-Dominique Bauby, paralysed by a stroke back in 1995. Bauby's scope of communication narrowed to only being able to blink his left eye, though with a patient assistant holding up an alphabet that he blinked at individual letters of, he was able to write a book! <\/span><\/p>\n

What is great from a language learning perspective about this film is that it is told in the first person, so the <\/span>language is automatically put in <\/b>your<\/i><\/b> voice<\/b>, meaning <\/span>you can <\/b>feel<\/i><\/b> how it should be said<\/b>. It's also a surprisingly<\/span> upbeat and positive film<\/b> despite the subject content, which seems like a great way to brush up on a language!<\/span><\/p>\n
