Hi Emma,
Here is today’s challenge. Translate this sentence from a news article into French:
“Despite the rise in prices, most students continue to travel during the summer.”
Today’s goal: reuse “malgré”, seen yesterday.
Simply reply to this email.
Good luck,
Aldo
Vocabulary lists, grammar rules, flashcards to reread: studying alone is tedious, and on the day of the test or the exam, whatever hasn’t been practiced slips away.
Memorizing lists quickly wears you down, and motivation fades between classes.
Without regular practice, what you’ve learned fades just when you need it most.
The same mistakes keep coming back, for lack of a system that repeats what hasn’t been mastered yet.
ALDO adapts to each learner’s level and goal: grades to bring up, a final exam, the DELF or the TCF, or simply the wish to improve.

The correction
From: Aldo <assistant@aldo-learning.com>
« Malgré la hausse dans les prix, la plupart d’étudiants continue de voyager pendant l’été. »
« Malgré la hausse des prix, la plupart des étudiants continuent de voyager pendant l’été. »
The preposition. “A rise in prices” becomes “une hausse des prix”: where English says “in”, French uses “de”.
The trap. “Most students” is “la plupart des étudiants”, always with “des”, never “d’étudiants”.
The agreement. After “la plupart des”, the verb is plural: “la plupart des étudiants continuent”.
Score:
14/20.The meaning is right, and “malgré” is used perfectly. Three small traps to remember.
Tomorrow: “la plupart des” will come back in a new sentence.
Keep it up,
Aldo
Every correction is scored: you see your progress day after day, and the points that resist come back until you master them. That steady practice gradually prepares you for your tests and exams, including the DELF or the TCF*, so you walk in with reflexes, not flashcards.
* The DELF is an official French-language diploma and the TCF an official French-language test. ALDO is not affiliated with the bodies that issue them and does not guarantee any result.
“Technology in the service of people, for more effective learning.”
Technology replaces neither the teacher nor the learner’s effort. It removes friction, keeps learning going between lessons, and multiplies the impact of human connection.
ALDO was born in the classroom. An English trainer for companies and a philosophy student at the Sorbonne, Jade Suzor saw the same thing with every learner: learning doesn’t stop after school, but making progress while working full time is a real challenge. ALDO is the answer: a short, demanding daily ritual that fits into an already full day.

No. Everything happens by email, from a phone or a computer. No tool to install, no password.
10 minutes a day. The challenge arrives at 8:00 AM, and you reply whenever it suits you during the day.
Daily practice gradually prepares you for French exams, the DELF and the TCF included. ALDO is not affiliated with the bodies that issue them and does not guarantee any result.
All levels are welcome. Challenges follow the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), from A1 to C2, and adapt as you progress.
Yes. Your classes set the course, and ALDO keeps up the daily practice. An ALDO teacher, to work on speaking for example, may also be offered later.
ALDO is opening gradually. People on the waitlist will be the first to hear from us.
They are used only to build ALDO and to contact you about its launch. They are never sold or shared.
A few questions to help us build ALDO with you. It takes about two minutes.
Why “Aldo”? For Assisted Learning Delivered Originally. But above all, it’s a first name: the one that came to mind when the project started. We later found out it was also the name of the owner of our favorite trattoria, in Paris’s 18th arrondissement. A place full of heart and generosity, just like we want every ALDO email to be.
