Imperfect Strangers, Lingophil’s audio story for intermediate French learners, follows the lives of a group of people from different ends of the world whose paths cross during one fateful summer as they struggle with bittersweet family relations and friendships, broken dreams, breakups, job hunts, financial woes and much more.
Right from the start you’ll learn the everyday language you’ll need to understand the locals and get by in the real French spoken on the street.
At the same time you’ll be building the foundation of your linguistic skills by acquiring new and useful vocabulary, key grammar patterns, handy phrases to kick off a conversation and keep it going, and learning how to construct native-level sentences.
Once you’ve solidified the foundation of your language, the difficulty level increases with each Season, as the audio demands more of your listening comprehension and vocabulary skills. Memorization is subtly and effectively reinforced by repeating common expressions and patterns multiple times in different contexts throughout the course. Our Intensive Listening Comprehension Practice™ method is uniquely designed to help you learn content thoroughly for maximum retention.
Lingophil will help you improve your comprehension of native-level spoken French, as well as your writing, spelling, command of grammar, syntax and your pronunciation.

You can start with a later Season and use the short summaries on this page to keep up with the plot and the characters. Just keep in mind that the Seasons follow one continuous storyline and that annotations and exercises build on grammar concepts covered in earlier Seasons.
The difficulty level of Seasons 1 and 2 is roughly equivalent to the French level B1 of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Some of the content goes beyond that level because the audios contain colloquial and idiomatic expressions as well as some verb tenses generally not found in learning material for level B1. To fully benefit from these Seasons, you should be at least lower intermediate level.
