Learn the sounds first

Start with how written French sounds, and practice saying it aloud. Audio, simple pronunciation guides and phonetic symbols help you connect what you see with what you hear.

Learn what you’ll need most

Your learning plan reflects what you want to do with French. Work through common, useful expressions, then build on them as you go. Practice conversations in context and recall phrases from their meaning, so the words come more readily when you need them.

Speak before you know every rule

You’ll learn enough grammar to adapt useful phrases and say things of your own. Detailed grammar study can come later. For now, the aim is to get you speaking, even while you’re still finding your words.

  • Focus your practice on words and phrases you find difficult.
  • Save useful expressions to your favorites and return to them whenever you like.
  • Play French audio and English translations automatically for listening practice.
  • Tap words in a phrase to open their explanations.
