About this game

ADVANTAGES OF OUR APP:
* Pronunciation by a native speaker
* 2375 words split into 180 topic lessons
* Does not require permanent Internet connection
* Beautiful illustrations for each word
* Phonetic transcription for each word
* Dark interface to study at night
* Choose from male and female voice
* Built in app dictionary with progress
* Game "True or False" to review pas material
* Special lessons with favorite, difficult, old, random words
* Flexible sound settings (music, speaker, effects)
* Just 10-15 minutes per day to learn all words
* For adults and teens 13+

Only 10-15 minutes per day Spending just 10-15 minutes every day, will easily allow you to remember all useful French words. While memorizing words, the frequency of lesson is more important than duration of each lesson. 10 minutes on each day of the week will be more productive than one hour of tuition a week.

One minute lessons Taking into account busyness of modern life, we designed each lesson in the way so it would never take more than one minute to complete it! So you no longer need to search for free time to practice French! Simply, once you get a chance, launch the app and do one lesson at a time =)

Only useful French words French for Beginners: LinDuo HD is a free and quick start to learn French language! Unlike others, we have only the most useful words, which are divided into 180 topic based lessons. Quality is here!

Teach-yourself French is designed, that it will use your visual and echoic memory to help you memorize French words fast and easy!

Special illustrations We use only specially developed infographics (developed by psychologists), so your eyes can quickly identify meaning of word or action without stressing them with small unnecessary details.

Word pronunciation by native speakers Our app will help you master pronunciation of French words! Each word is recording by professional native speaker! Additionally, in the settings you can choose between male or female voice.

Dynamic lesson difficulty The app changes lesson difficulty gradually as you progress. To achieve this, it keeps stats for EVERY word! Example: in the spelling mode, initially you need to insert several missing letters in a word, then create a word having extra letters and finally, when you are ready, you will need to type the entire word on the keyboard.

Modes for quick learning The App includes four additional lesson types which are made of Favorites, Difficult, Old, Random words. You can add any word to your favorites and later create custom lesson from your Favorite words. Words are automatically added to "Difficult" (the ones you struggle to memorize) and "Old" (which you have not reviewed for a long time) sections. A "Random" mode will create a unique lesson.

Do not need to know how to read If you cannot read yet, no problem! Each word has a transcription in your language! And for more experienced ones, in the settings, you can choose a phonetic (like in a dictionary) transcription.

Additional features Thanks to your reviews, we are constantly updating the app to make it better! To help you take care of your eyesight, with just one tap, you can activate dark theme. If you temporarily do not have internet access, no problem! The App can work offline as well!

Review Past Material Many good apps do not pay enough attention to review past material! For this purpose we created the word game "True or False". It is very simple, but it's addictive and the most importantly, it helps to repeat past material and never to forget it!

The inconsistent use of spaces in written exams is so frustrating. When you have two words on the same line a space is expected in between words but when the phrase is on two lines, the space after the linebreak is bizarrely omitted. I have failed many exams due to this 😡 They sent a fixed version but it is overwritten with each update. I can reinstall it but it means I do not benefit from improvements & bug fixes. I was going to do Spanish & German but this ongoing issue makes it unusable 😔

First of all thank you Graham so much for your financial support, it helps us a lot! UPD: Sorry that we forget to mention that you should not update app. No worries, we will create another app with very high build version so it will not be auto updated =) We send you a reply and waiting for your reply with confirmation. Happy New Year!

Fun, pretty addictive & has helped me increase my vocabulary but there are a few errors* Duolingo is more accurate. Also, it would be cool if you could learn about sentence structure/grammar rather than just individual words *e.g. pretty sure in french the word 'swings' (plural) is 'les balançoires' not 'les balançoire'

Thanks for trying our app. Could you please tell us which translations can be improved? We can assure you that translation was checked multiple times by different certified translators to avoid any typos or mistakes. Our users also help us improve translation. However, may be there is still some translation which can be improved further =)

This is divided into 3 categories. Flashcards, listening and writing. Within each category there are 4 topics to practise. To move to the next level you take a test by answering correctly 20 questions in a row. The first two I found relatively easy, but OMG the written is très difficile. You soon realise that you don't really know how to spell écouter, bébé and père, so actually I find this the most useful. But if you don't want to do the written you can just concentrate on the others

Thanks for your awesome review Jackie =) You are 100% right, we let users select which skills they want to develop. Did you know that in app's settings you can turn off articles, if you do not want to learn them. Also you can turn on simplified keyboard and type bebe instead of bébé =) You can always come back and make it more difficult =)
