How to Use French Vlogs for Language Learning
To benefit from vlogs as French learning material, you have to find a way to use them that works best for you. Here are some useful strategies:
- Find vlogs on interesting topics. Don’t spend all your time watching videos on French grammar and vocabulary. Check out vlogs made by and for French speakers to get some exposure to more authentic language, and make sure it’s a topic you’re interested in so you’ll stay motivated to keep watching (possibly more than once).
- Use vlogs with FluentU. You can now turn any YouTube video into a language learning lesson using FluentU.
Other sites use scripted content. FluentU uses a natural approach that helps you ease into the French language and culture over time. You’ll learn French as it’s actually spoken by real people.
FluentU has a wide variety of great content, like interviews and web series, as you can see here:
FluentU brings native videos within reach with interactive subtitles.
You can tap on any word to look it up instantly. Every definition has examples that have been written to help you understand how the word is used.
For example, if you tap on the word "crois," you'll see this:
Practice and reinforce all the vocabulary you've learned in a given video with FluentU's adaptive quizzes. Swipe left or right to see more examples for the word you’re learning and play the mini-games found in the dynamic flashcards, like "fill in the blank."
As you study, FluentU tracks the vocabulary that you’re learning and uses this information to give you a 100% personalized experience.
It gives you extra practice with difficult words—and reminds you when it’s time to review what you’ve learned.
Start using the FluentU website on your computer or tablet or, better yet, download the FluentU app from the iTunes or Google Play store. Click here to take advantage of our current sale! (Expires at the end of this month.)
- Find a few vlogs you like and stick to them. Keeping a short list of vlogs that you watch consistently will improve your listening comprehension. This is especially useful if your vloggers speak quickly, use lots of slang, or have a distinct accent. Little by little, you’ll come to understand them with consistent watching.
- Rewatch confusing parts and keep a list of new vocabulary. First, watch the vlog once through to get the gist of it. Then, watch again and pause and rewind to rewatch any parts where you lose the thread. Make sure to jot down any unfamiliar words and try to determine their meaning from the context, then double-check with a French translator app.
Vlogs are some of the most accessible and valuable French videos out there.
There’s something for everyone, and they pack a ton of great practice for French learners into a small package.
Follow a few of the French vloggers on this list, and get ready to be entertained!

If you like learning French at your own pace and from the comfort of your device, I have to tell you about FluentU.
FluentU makes it easier (and way more fun) to learn French by making real content like movies and series accessible to learners. You can check out FluentU's curated video library, or bring our learning tools directly to Netflix or YouTube with the FluentU Chrome extension.
One of the features I find most helpful is the interactive captions—you can tap on any word to see its meaning, an image, pronunciation, and other examples from different contexts. It’s a great way to pick up French vocab without having to pause and look things up separately.
FluentU also helps reinforce what you’ve learned with personalized quizzes. You can swipe through extra examples and complete engaging exercises that adapt to your progress. You'll get extra practice with the words you find more challenging and even be reminded you when it’s time to review!
