Short videos
Most videos last less than 2 minutes. That is usually just enough vocabulary to digest in one learning session, without feeling overwhelmed.
Bilingual Subtitles
Depending on your level, turn on French subtitles, English subtitles or both at the same time. We do literal translations and display full sentences so you can compare.
Integrated Dictionary
Don't know a word? Click on it to see its dictionary translations and hear its pronunciation. Ilini is pretty clever: it recognizes slang and expressions.
Vocabulary
We take notes for you! Every word you click gets added to your vocabulary list. Go back to your list later to rehearse, and remember the videos and phrases they appeared in.
Flashcards
Flashcards are a great way to study your vocabulary. Guess a word, flip the card, check your answer. Fun and easy.
Quiz
Test your understanding of the videos with multiple-choice questions. Ideal to switch your brain into active mode and make sure you're making progress.
Texts
Download video transcripts and translations for some reading, highlighting or note taking. Digital is great, but you can still make use of paper and pen.
Worksheets
Download fill-the-gap exercises, phrase scrambles and other listening and vocabulary activities (with answers). Great for individual learners and for classrooms.
Online Classroom
Our platform for teachers: give fun assignments to your class! Ask students to watch a video, take a quiz or complete other tasks, and review their work online.

"Thanks to Ilini I have made really fast progress in French. 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. Add in the translation and exercises, and it is the resource I have always dreamed of."
