Loved by language learners and educators

I have tried other platforms to learn vocabulary and improve my oral comprehension of spoken French, but it is by far the very best in class!

A brilliant way to bring authentic up-to-date cultural material into the classroom. Ilini can genuinely broaden students' horizons and increase motivation, while saving preparation time for the teacher.

I had always wanted to watch French news or music clips, but there was no easy way to pause, look up words or take notes. Ilini does this and even much more. It's a game changer!

This resource is SO rich! This is the resource of my dreams. I have always had to type up the scripts of videos myself, or had news reports but no video. This is the best of both worlds!

Really good! I learned 17 new words in just 1 video! (...) Really nice variety of videos with a range of topics that interest me (...) Wonderful resource!
