Learn French - the best iPhone apps

In this practical tip, we present the best iPhone apps for learning French.

Learn French with Lingua.ly on iPhone

The free Lingua.ly app is not just about the French language. Unfortunately, you currently have to set either the spoken language or the language to be learned as English. In French training, you can only access the translation in English.

• The Lingua.ly app provides you with French newspaper articles from the web. You mark the words you understand.
• Over time, the app learns which words you already know. In this way you put together your own vocabulary.
• You can repeat the collected vocabulary in the so-called "coffee breaks".
• Lingua.ly relies on immersion: by reading real French articles from the Internet, you will learn from the beginning how vocabulary, grammar and style interact in the language.
• Motivating: You collect points and may even appear in the leaderboards.

Frantastique: Fantastic app to learn French

First of all: Frantastique is free at first. Unfortunately, you have to purchase one of the expensive subscriptions in order to use the app beyond the trial week.

• At Frantastique you get French lessons in the form of lovingly made cartoons and funny illustrations. If you complete one of the subscriptions, you will always receive new lessons.
• You have to answer questions about the different media and learn the French language in a playful way.
• After completing an exercise, send your completed lessons to Frantastique and receive your correction within a few seconds.
• Based on this correction, the app knows about your weak points and will often repeat vocabulary or grammar that has not yet been internalized.

Duolingo French app: free and good

Work through countless lessons with the free Duolingo app. For example, they translate sentences or pronounce words.

• After each exercise, the app immediately checks whether you are correct and shows you the error.
• The integrated voice is also great about this app: by reading words out, you will learn the French pronunciation.
• Duolingo also has a ranking system and different levels of difficulty: advanced users can skip lessons with mini-tests and thus continue to learn at their language level. You can also compare yourself with your friends in the Duolingo community - that motivates!
• When you create a Duolingo profile, you can also save your progress.
