Ratings and reviews

I had to tear myself away from this (addictive) game to give it a great review - it is fun and very helpful! I've been studying French for years, and this can benefit all levels. I love the music, the font, and everything else about it. It's so nicely done - thank you for the wonderful, well thought-out app! This comment is a few months later: In level 7 of Object & Clause, the 2nd-to-last sentence, there are 2 balloons that say "plus", but only one is accepted. I still LOVE the game though!!

I love this app. Maybe not for beginners but for someone who has some french already, especially if wanting an app to work on their grammar.

Very addictive and meditative. I enjoy the challenge without the feeling of failure. There's no winning or losing just improving. Thank you!

What's new

However brutally the virus interferes with our lives, not all surprises have to be nasty. We have decided to release this new version for free, with no purchases or ads, and to keep it so until the end of the pandemic.

We have listened to your recommendations, fixed the bugs and added the long-awaited Speech Button. Now you can listen to the whole sentence if you click on the icon that appears in the top right corner after a puzzle is solved.

Good luck and stay well!
