## What is ParleNova?

ParleNova is a French learning app powered by AI (Claude).
It follows the five grades of Futsuken, Japan's French proficiency test, from Grade 5 to Grade 2, and covers Vocabulary, Grammar, Reading, Speaking and Listening step by step.

■ Content (Grade 5 to Grade 2)
・Vocabulary: 9,191 words (Grade 5: 614 / Grade 4: 975 / Grade 3: 1,600 / Grade Pre-2: 2,500 / Grade 2: 3,502)
  Each with IPA, part of speech, meaning, an example sentence and its English translation. Nouns show their gender
・Grammar: 168 points (pattern, key idea, examples and English translations)
  From être at Grade 5 to the imperfect subjunctive and the passé simple at Grade 2
・Reading: 365 texts (Grade 5: 65 / Grades 4 to 2: 75 each; emails, notices, articles, essays and more)
  Every text comes with an English summary, key vocabulary and grammar notes
・Speaking: AI French conversation at your level
・Listening: AI-generated dialogue dramas + RFI "Français Facile" radio programs

■ Mock exams (Futsuken format)
30 tests for each grade from 5 to 2 (150 in all). Take the written and listening parts (plus dictation at Grades Pre-2 and 2) straight through, with the same number of questions and time limits as the real test. Listening and dictation are played in recorded French with male and female voices. The written and listening parts are scored automatically; for dictation you compare your text with the answer and score it yourself. Grades Pre-2 and 2 also include practice for the second-stage interview. Review every question with the answer, an English explanation and the listening script. You can print the question booklet, answer sheet and marking sheet, solve on paper and enter your answers to be scored (Test 1 of each grade is free, from Test 2 on with Premium). All questions are original; they are not past papers of the actual exam.

■ French–English dictionary (6,034 entries)
・Look up words straight from their inflected forms: pense → penser, aperçois → apercevoir, chevaux → cheval, heureuse → heureux. 39,405 verb conjugations, noun plurals and adjective gender/number forms are indexed
・IPA, example sentences and grade for every entry. Save words to your word list and practice them as flashcards
・Works entirely on your device. Looking up a word needs no connection

■ Features
・AI feedback: instant corrections of your pronunciation and grammar, in English
・Pronunciation practice: record with the microphone and see a live transcript (fr-FR)
・Model audio: listen at normal or slow speed

■ Recorded audio (Premium)
Hear words, example sentences, reading texts and grammar examples in a recorded French voice. Download it grade by grade, and delete grades you no longer need to free up space. Free users can also hear part of each grade as recordings. Sentences without a recording are read by your device's voice.

■ Premium (subscription)
AI features (conversation, scoring and generated explanations) can be tried free up to 5 times a month.
Beyond the free allowance, they are available with a monthly or yearly Premium subscription.
Premium also lets you download the recorded audio for every grade and take mock exams from Test 2 on.
・Payment is charged to your Apple ID.
・The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
・You can cancel at any time from Settings after purchase.
