How to use Ilini's search bar

Ilini Search makes it easier than ever to find the most relevant videos for your next French lessons! 🎯

Use the search bar to look up occurrences of specific words (and their inflections) in all videos available on the website. This will help you find videos for any particular lesson topic you are planning to teach — not only vocabulary, but also grammar! 🤩

Here is a basic example. Let's say that you want to find videos showing real-life usage of the word téléphone. Type in "téléphone" in the search bar and get a list of videos with sentence examples:

What makes Ilini Search particularly powerful is that it will also look for inflections of the word you're looking for.

So if you type a singular noun, you will find examples of the word both in the singular and the plural. Pretty convenient if you are planning to teach... well, the singular and plural. 🙂

Similarly, if you look up a verb in the infinitive, results will include various conjugated forms. An easy way to find plenty of authentic examples for your next conjugation lesson:

The possibilities are endless:

• Planning to teach la négation? Search for ne or pas.
• Adverbs of time? See results for bientôt, actuellement, jamais...
• Personal pronouns? Search for je, tu, il, elle, ... or iel.
• Conjunctions? Try mais, donc, parce que...

You get the idea!

Search results are grouped by video: this means that you will quickly see if a word or an expression occurs in a video more than once.

Take "par exemple", for instance:

A video giving you multiple examples of the words you're looking for is a strong candidate for your next lesson!
