Ratings and reviews

Great app, much better than Duolingo. You can learn actual french, not just memorize weirdly phrased translated sentences. The only thing missing is some way to measure progress, as to make tha app more engaging and keep the user coming back. Also, the "classes" are a little unorganized, which makes it difficult to know what to do when you enter the app.

It took multiple tries and two reinstallations for it to let me make an account. Now they I'm finally in, it's fascinating and it's really hard. I'm not sure what it's looking for in some of the exercises, and it's hard to know what I'm listening for. I'd like less hand-holding than Duolingo but I think I need more than this app. Feel thrown into the deep end.

This app is all that you need to learn French. There you will find lots of exercises adequated to your level and the videos have transcriptions which is excellent for listening practice. What I do for a more effective learning is, after watching the videos, I repeat what was said with my own words and try to read something short about it. It's working really well.
