You are in the right place if...
The real things that block English speakers learning French — and what we do about them.
French pronunciation and silent letters confuse you
Every text comes with audio — you read and hear real French at the same time.
Gendered nouns and verb conjugations feel overwhelming
You meet them inside real sentences, explained in English the moment you click.
Reviewing vocabulary feels tedious to you
Here your words are reviewed through play: tower defense, Space Invaders-style shooting, or by growing your vocabulary garden.
You have studied French before — and it never stuck
No forced lessons: you read what you enjoy, at your own pace.
A different method
You learn by reading what fascinates you, not by reciting lists.
Immersive reading
Stories, dialogues and songs in French, sorted by level. Click any word for its English translation.
Automatic flashcards
Every word you encounter feeds your personal dictionary. Spaced repetition locks it into memory.
Vocabulary built for you
You do not learn a generic, imposed list: your dictionary is built from the words you meet in what you choose to read.
Authentic French content
No artificial sentences. Real material, hand-picked and translated for English speakers.
Stories & culture

Cinema
Clips from French films, old and new

Reviewing is a game
Your words do not sit in a list. You review them by playing — and every activity moves you forward.
Plants vs Words
A tower defense: answer correctly to push back waves of zombies. Your vocabulary, arcade-style.
Word Invaders
Space Invaders-style: aim and shoot the right translation. Reflexes and memory.
Vocabulary garden
In your dictionary, every word is a plant. The more you review it, the more it blooms — from sprout 🌱 to flower 🌺.
XP & avatars
Every activity earns XP. You level up, pick your avatar and climb the leaderboard.
How it works
Three steps — and you are reading in under 5 minutes.
We assess your level
A free 5-minute placement test puts you on A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 or C2. Or start straight away as a complete beginner.
You pick what to read
A story, a dialogue, a film clip, a song — matched to your level. Click unknown words and the English translation appears.
You review your words by playing
Flashcards, games, vocabulary garden: your words come back at the right time, and reviewing them becomes a pleasure rather than a chore.
Frequently asked questions
I am a complete beginner. Is this realistic?
Yes. The complete-beginner track starts with very simple words and short phrases, with audio on everything so pronunciation builds from day one.
How long does it take to reach a B1 level?
On average 6 to 9 months at 15-20 minutes a day. But consistency matters far more than total time.
Is it really free?
Yes. You can learn as a guest without even creating an account. The free version includes your personal dictionary, SRS flashcards, the games and the full catalogue of materials. A Premium subscription exists for advanced features, but it is not required to make progress.
Do I need to be good at grammar?
No. Grammar is learned through exposure: you see conjugations and gender in context and, over time, recognise them without thinking. Explanations are one click away on every word.
Can I learn on mobile?
Yes, the app works on mobile web. Learn on the train, in a waiting room, anywhere.
