6pm in Paris is an innovative language learning platform that blends the immersive experience of watching films with educational lessons. Each week, users select a French movie and engage with the content through informal lessons, utilizing dual subtitles and adjustable playback speed. The platform emphasizes cultural understanding to foster a deeper connection with the language. Co-founders Lea Perret and Julien Frei aim to make language learning an enjoyable, lifelong pursuit rather than a short-term task. The concept may expand to other languages and cultures in the future.
"A big part of our vision is to be a window on the language, and the people, and the culture," says CEO Lea Perret, emphasizing the importance of cultural context in language learning.
Perret imagined 6pm in Paris as a way to help students learn French beyond the classroom. "Most people will sell you methods to learn French in three weeks, but it doesn't work like that; it's a lifelong endeavor," she says.
