Who this French course app is for
The readers of this website are mostly English-speaking teachers and families. This app will interest those who teach or learn French as the language of school, for example in a French school abroad, in a bilingual class, or in a family that follows the French curriculum. However, it is not a beginner course in English, so readers who need a French language class for English speakers should use the lessons on the French site instead.
What each level contains
- Clear lessons with examples, boxes of key points and diagrams
- Progressive worksheets
- Quizzes of 15 questions with sounds, colors, a final grade and personalised advice
- 25 graded tests to practise as in class
- A conjugator of 150 verbs, in all tenses and moods
Levels
The app covers CP, CE1, CE2, CM1, CM2, 6ème, 5ème, 4ème, 3ème, Seconde, Première and Terminale. In US terms, that is roughly Grade 1 through Grade 12.
Curriculum areas
Chapters follow the official programs, namely reading, grammar, spelling, conjugation, vocabulary, writing, literature and exam preparation.
Progress
The app stores progress on the device, including completed chapters, best grades and favourites. Because no account is needed, you can start at once, and there are no ads.
Getting started
- Install Apprendre le français from Google Play.
- Choose the level of the student.
- Open a chapter and read the lesson.
- Do the worksheet, then take the quiz.
- Finally, look up the detailed corrections and printable PDF on the site francais-pdf.fr, which you reach in one tap from the app.
A weekly routine
Many families that use this site for math keep a similar rhythm for French: one lesson, one printed worksheet, one quiz. The quiz result also tells which chapter to revisit. For math lessons, grade by grade, see the lessons section.
Language and platform
The app is in French only, and it runs on phones and tablets with Android, while an iPhone version is in preparation.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Choose the chapter that matches what the class is doing
- Use the 15-question quizzes to find the weak chapters
- Use the conjugator for verbs that cause repeated mistakes
- Keep the graded tests for the end of a period, in quiet conditions
Because the app follows the official programs, it can complement a French school abroad or a family that supports a child through the French curriculum. Moreover, the tests give a quick sense of level without any printing.
What a good session looks like
A session of twenty minutes is enough: read one lesson, do the matching worksheet, then take the quiz. The quiz gives a grade and personalised advice, so the student knows whether to move on or to read the lesson again. Favourites also let the student keep the chapters that need a second look, such as agreement rules or tricky tenses, in one place.
Teachers who prepare lessons can scan the chapter list to see how the programs progress from CP to Terminale, and families can use the same list to plan the year.
