Great clips, redundant vocab lists – Learn French with 7 jours sur la planète Review

I have been using this app for a while, and while I appreciate the choice of clips and the insights given into diverse current events, I find that that learning apparatus is not particularly useful. The vocabulary chosen for inclusion in the list consists of words almost all of which have a very obvious English cognate. I understand that the app is intended for a multilingual international audience, and that knowledge of English cannot be assumed . However the reality is that millions of people worldwide have enough knowledge of English to be able to know, for example, what "le film" or "l'artiste" mean. Almost uniformly, these kinds of too-easy words are chosen for the lists and "vocab building" games, while idiomatic expressions and puns, e.g. the double meaning of "aiguiller" in the recent piece on tattoos, are left without commentary. As such, I will not be using the app in my French classroom, but I do view the clips for my own interest.
