How Emotions Supercharge Language Learning

Oct 14 / Eléonore Martin
Language learning is often perceived as a structured, academic task, but at 6pm in Paris, we believe it's so much more than that. Our CinéPack™ Method leverages the power of emotions to bring French to life, making it not just a skill to acquire but an experience to enjoy. And science backs it up! Studies* have shown that emotions play a crucial role in enhancing memory and learning, which we’ve woven into every aspect of CinéPack™.

The Science of Emotion in Learning

Emotions are a powerful force in learning. They not only affect how we perceive information but also how we retain it. According to research, the emotional centers of our brain, such as the amygdala, work in tandem with memory centers like the hippocampus, allowing emotionally charged experiences to be remembered more vividly and accurately. In other words, when we feel something strongly, we’re more likely to remember it

Learning French with Emotion

At 6pm in Paris, we've embraced this science by making emotions a core component of our CinéPack™ Method. Through carefully curated short films, followed by our talk show After Shorts, we not only teach you the language but immerse you in the emotions, context, and culture that bring those words to life. By connecting with French culture on an emotional level, learners can accelerate their mastery of real-life expressions.

How Emotions Enhance Language Learning with CinéPack™

When we feel, we remember. By experiencing French expressions through the emotions of characters, you’re more likely to retain those expressions and use them confidently in real-life situations.
Motivation Boost
Emotions like joy, surprise, and empathy trigger our brain’s reward system, which makes learning feel satisfying and fun. With CinéPack™, you'll find yourself eagerly anticipating each new film and lesson.
With CinéPack™, learning French becomes more than just memorizing words. It’s about connecting with French culture on an emotional level, which makes the journey not only effective but also deeply rewarding. Ready to experience French learning like never before?
