Understood In French is a complete French course, A1 to C2, with real grammar explanations, speaking practice and typed answers. Every lesson is free, and every explanation is in your own language.
EVERY LESSON IS FREE
• 280 lessons across 70 units, from complete beginner (A1) to C2
• No hearts, no energy bars, no lessons locked behind a payment
• The free version shows ads: a banner on the Learn and Review screens, and now and then a full-screen ad after you finish a session. Never during one.
LEARN THROUGH YOUR OWN LANGUAGE
Explanations, hints and translations are in the language you choose, from 33. Every level is explained in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian and Polish; in the other 24 languages, A1 and A2 for now, with more levels coming. The French you learn is the same in every language.
REAL GRAMMAR, EXPLAINED
• A plain-language explanation opens every lesson: why the words behave that way
• The passé composé and the imparfait, être or avoir, the subjunctive: the hard things get the space they need
• A searchable grammar library you can come back to any time
• Read aloud: hear an explanation in your language, on phones that have a voice for it
SPEAK IT, TYPE IT, HEAR IT
• Speaking exercises use your phone's speech recognition and show you what they heard. They are always optional.
• Typed answers, not only multiple choice, with a keyboard bar for French accents
• Every French word and sentence is spoken by your phone's built-in voice
PRACTICE THAT STICKS
• Smart Review brings each word back just before you would forget it (spaced repetition based on SM-2)
• Fix Your Misses turns the exercises you got wrong into a short session
• Daily Workout: up to 12 items a day from your due words and recent mistakes
• Parallel Stories: six classic tales (Perrault, Daudet, Maupassant, Anatole France, Voltaire, Baudelaire) beside a translation in your language
• 12 dialogues in two voices: tap any word for its meaning, then answer questions
• 25 graded stories: tap any word for its meaning and audio
• 18 conversations that correct you and explain why
• Conjugation Gym: 84 verbs, seven tenses, drills and Fill the chart
• Over 1,400 words and phrases
• Flashcards for every unit, plus cards and quizzes you build yourself
• A 184-phrase phrasebook for travel, food, work and small talk
WORKS OFFLINE
The whole course ships inside the app. No account, no sign-up. Lessons, stories and review work without a connection. Audio needs a French voice on your phone; offline speaking practice needs on-device French recognition.
YOUR PROGRESS STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
Streaks, XP, a 14-day chart and an achievement wall. There is no account: your progress is stored on your phone, and we never receive it. Export a backup file and import it on another phone or tablet; importing merges and never deletes.
PRIVACY
The app goes online only for ads in the free version (Google AdMob), for purchases through Google Play, on some phones for speech recognition, and when you tap "Request the next levels" (it sends your language and the level, nothing personal). The app never records or keeps your voice; depending on your phone, Google may process the audio to recognize it.
HOW THE COURSE IS MADE
The course was written by AI and checked with automated tests and AI review, not by a human linguist. Translations other than English are machine-generated.
PRO (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION)
Pro removes the ads. Nothing else is locked behind it: every lesson is free for everyone.
• Pro Monthly: $0.99 a month
• Pro Yearly: $5.99 a year
US prices; your local price appears in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel in Google Play.
