Hello James,
Here is your exercise of the day, prepared from Thursday’s session. Translate into French:
“I need you to send me the documents by Friday, otherwise my application will be incomplete.”
Today’s goal: the subjunctive, covered in class.

Good luck,

Better results, regular follow-up, measurable progress: your teams know what matters. But preparing and correcting individual exercises takes time your trainers simply don’t have.
Adapting exercises to each learner’s level takes a considerable amount of time.
Between sessions, practice stops and what was learned fades.
Without daily practice, it’s hard to know what has truly been mastered before the exam.
ALDO revisits the points covered in class and adapts to each learner’s level, without adding to your trainers’ workload.
In class
Vocabulary, grammar, exam goals: ALDO starts from what was covered in the session.

The correction
From: Aldo <assistant@aldo-learning.com>
« J’ai besoin que vous m’envoyez les documents par vendredi, sinon mon application sera incomplète. »
« J’ai besoin que vous m’envoyiez les documents d’ici vendredi, sinon mon dossier sera incomplet. »
The subjunctive. “J’ai besoin que” is followed by the subjunctive, so “vous m’envoyez” becomes “vous m’envoyiez”. This was the point covered in Thursday’s session.
The deadline. For a deadline, “by” is not “par”: French says “d’ici vendredi”, or simply “avant vendredi”.
The false friend. In French, an “application” is an app. For a file submitted to an office or a school, French says “dossier”, a masculine word: hence “incomplet”.
Score:
15/20.The meaning is right and the sentence is clear. The subjunctive is almost there.
Tomorrow: the subjunctive will come back after “il faut que”.
Keep it up,
Aldo
Daily practice that complements your classes gradually prepares your learners for exams such as the DELF and DALF*, with structured teaching follow-up.
A pilot phase with a group of learners is being considered before any rollout: let us know in the questionnaire if you’re interested.
* DELF and DALF are official French-language diplomas. 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. ALDO starts from the points covered in class and extends the lessons between sessions. Trainers stay in charge of the teaching, with as light a workload as possible.
At the end of the session, the trainer tells ALDO the points covered: vocabulary, grammar, exam goals. ALDO uses them to build the exercises for the following days. Several ways of passing them on are being explored, from quick entry to automatic transfer: tell us in the questionnaire what would suit your trainers best.
Every exercise is corrected and scored. Tracking tools (dashboard, progress reports, summary sheets) are being designed: your answers to the questionnaire help us shape them.
No. Everything happens by email. No app to install, no password.
All levels, from A1 to C2 (CEFR): DELF and DALF preparation, French for work, French for daily life or general French for adults.
A pilot phase with a group of learners is being considered. Let us know in the questionnaire if you’re interested.
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.
