French Alphabet takes you from zero to writing and reading the French alphabet (alphabet français) and its spelling-to-sound patterns.
HANDWRITING PRACTICE
- 49 items: 6 vowels, 13 accented letters, 20 consonants and 10 digraphs
- Trace on a grid with animated stroke-order demonstrations
- Every letter comes with its name, its IPA and a memory aid
- Undo and redo when you slip
SYLLABLE CHART
- 16 consonants (including ch) x 5 vowels = 80 syllables, each one traceable
- Spelling shifts before e and i to keep c and g hard (que, gue), so you can see how spelling maps to sound
- Tap any syllable to hear it
LISTEN AND LEARN
- Consonant and vowel charts: tap a letter to hear it, long-press to copy it
- Adjustable speech speed and slow replay
- Pronunciation follows Standard French
- Some audio is real-voice recordings from Wikimedia Commons (Lingua Libre) released under CC0; the rest is synthesized with Piper using a voice trained on the SIWIS corpus (CC BY 4.0)
QUIZZES AND REVIEW
- Two quiz types: see a letter and pick its name (for digraphs, pick the sound), or hear a sound and pick the letter
- Practice all letters, only consonants or only vowels
- Daily review scheduled with Leitner five-box spaced repetition, so missed letters come back more often
- Optional daily review reminder
ORIGIN
- The history of French, its letters and symbols, pronunciation tips, spelling rules and cognates shared with English
PET PARK
- A France-themed 3D park with the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, a cafe terrace, a croissant bakery, a lavender field and Seine bookstalls; cats and dogs live there, and tapping a person plays a greeting in French
