How does the 6pm in Paris platform work?
6pm in Paris is a subscription-based platform that brings French language learning to life through cinema. As a subscriber, you get immediate access to our full library of CinéPacks™, plus a brand-new CinéPack™ every Friday. Each CinéPack™ includes a curated short film and complementary content to help you understand and practice real-life French expressions and cultural references. This unique approach lets you develop language skills and gain a deeper understanding of French culture, all from the comfort of your home.
What is a CinéPack™?
A CinéPack™ is a bundle that includes a curated French short film, our exclusive companion show After Shorts, which breaks down expressions and cultural references used in the film, as well as a Film Phrasebook and Quizzes.
