Hi Leo,
Here’s your challenge of the day. Translate these two sentences into French:
“Our neighbor’s dog stole my little brother’s snack again. This time, I have a plan.”
Today’s goal: the passé composé with “avoir”.
Simply reply to this email.
Good luck,
Aldo
Between lessons, your child rarely practices on their own, especially when French isn’t spoken at home, and you don’t really know what sticks from one week to the next. Traditional homework ends up wearing them down.
Lessons are expensive, with no way of knowing what really sticks.
Practicing alone between lessons takes a discipline few students have.
Traditional exercises are dull, and students end up tuning out.
A short, playful ritual matched to your child’s level, with room for creativity: everyday sentences, little scenes, fun translations.
08:00
A sentence or a short text to translate, matched to their level and their tastes.

Directly by email, from a phone or a computer.

The correction
From: Aldo <assistant@aldo-learning.com>
« Le chien de notre voisin a volé encore le snack de mon petit frère. Ce temps, j’ai un plan. »
« Le chien de notre voisin a encore volé le goûter de mon petit frère. Cette fois, j’ai un plan. »
The word order. In the passé composé, “encore” goes between the two parts of the verb: “a encore volé”.
The right word. For an afternoon snack, French says “le goûter”. It’s a word you’ll hear every day in France.
The trap. When “time” means “occasion”, French says “fois”: “cette fois”. “Le temps” is the time that passes, or the weather.
Score:
13/20.The meaning is right, and your verb is in the right tense. Three points to remember, and it’ll be perfect.
Tomorrow: more of the passé composé, in a new sentence.
Keep it up,
Aldo
ALDO pairs very well with a teacher: the week’s lesson gives the direction, and daily practice builds the habit between sessions. Does your child already have a tutor? ALDO complements their lessons.
“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 your child replies whenever it suits them.
Not at all. Every correction explains each point in English, so your child can understand it alone, and you can follow along even if you don’t speak French.
By being copied on the daily corrections and scores, or through a weekly or monthly summary, so your inbox isn’t overloaded. Both options are being designed: tell us in the questionnaire which suits you.
All levels are welcome. Challenges follow the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), from A1 to C2, and adapt as your child progresses.
The ALDO agent, an artificial intelligence guided by a teaching framework designed by a language trainer: CEFR levels, grammar, expressions, false friends. Its corrections are kind and explain every choice.
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.
