Start with meaning, then speak
Read a short exchange, understand what each expression does, and try it with your own details. Start with Bonjour, je m’appelle Alex (Hello, my name is Alex), then add Je viens du Canada (I’m from Canada). Learning a complete exchange gives each new word a job.
A French learning app and a translator
French Lingo brings learning and practice together. The companion translator is for checking meaning in context. Translation and speech recognition can make mistakes; neither replaces your own judgment.
