French Learning App Recommendation!

Hi everyone, I haven’t been active here for the last month. This is because I haven’t been active in language learning in my real life due to personal reasons. But I came back with an amazing app recommendation!

The app’s name is Learn French with Le Monde. As far as I know Le Monde is a famous newspaper in France. We use it in class to review news with our teacher. The app has a one week free trial. You get access to the classes daily after your free trial. I haven’t bought the premium version yet. But I’m planning to after my trial ends.

I think you need to know basic A1 level French in order to use it more efficiently. In the app you listen a video and answer questions according to the video. You can choose the vocabulary you don’t know and they’ll show you the meanings in a sentence with Fr/Ca pronunciation. It also ends with a cultural movie/song/tv series reference that is commonly known in France.

The app also has a page in the correction page where they’ll you about the historical figures and other cultural stuff you may not know but has appeared in the lesson. Also a bonus: It is available in both English and French. But I think if your phone language is French the app will appear in French. I personally think it is very useful for listening and grammar and also makes you review everything!

It has a section where you can choose Spicy (includes adult stuff but not like +18 😅 this is language learning app) Non spicy (kid friendly) version.

I say give it a chance! This is definitely not an ad since I only have like a hundred followers and don’t know anyone from Le Monde. I personally love and use the app and I recommend it to everyone who wants to learn French.

See you guys later, I hope I can go back to study more efficiently and daily.
