De basis van het Frans leren, met instructies uitgesproken in je moedertaal? Ja, dat kan nu met Basic-Français. Basic-Français is ontwikkeld om de basis van het Frans te leren in samenwerking met de stad Parijs en de regio ""Ile de France"", met enige Europese cofinanciering. Basic-Français is een app die u begeleidt bij uw eerste stappen in het proces van het leren van Frans. Ludo en Vic zijn gemaakt om alle volkeren van deze wereld te vertegenwoordigen en gendergelijkheid te bevorderen. Ze laten je het Frans ontdekken door middel van dialogen (in het Frans) die veel aspecten van het dagelijks leven beslaan. Er zijn ook veel foto's die je zullen helpen om je woordenschat te vergroten Basic-Français doorbreekt de woordenmuur door mondeling de instructies te geven bij de oefeningen, in je moedertaal. Zo leer je de basis van het Frans, onafhankelijk van je opleidingsniveau. Basic-Français kan zelfs ontwikkeld worden voor moedertalen die geen alfabet hebben. Omdat de instructies worden gegeven in een taal die je begrijpt, vermindert dit je stressniveau aanzienlijk. Het maakt het leren zowel sneller als gemakkelijker. Er zijn ook veel activiteiten, waaronder spraakherkenning, om je uitspraak te verbeteren, om te helpen bij het onthouden en om leren leuker te maken! Basic-Français bestrijkt het eerste niveau (A1) van het Gemeenschappelijk Europees Referentiekader voor Talen. Dit geeft je de middelen om snel vooruitgang te boeken bij het leren van Frans. Basic-Français gebruikt je data-abonnement niet. Alle activiteiten zijn volledig operationeel zonder internetverbinding. Dit is tegenwoordig een zeer belangrijk en zeldzaam kenmerk in apps

Learn Dutch Speak is a structured daily app that makes it easier to pick up Dutch vocabulary, phrases, and listening skills one step at a time. Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen what you already know, the app gives you a clear routine so you're never left wondering what to study next. The daily word learning plan is at the heart of the experience. Each day you get a focused set of Dutch words to work through in short, manageable sessions. You study them step by step, practice with related phrases, and complete the plan to keep your streak going. It's a simple, consistent way to learn Dutch words every single day without feeling overwhelmed. What's inside the app: Home Dashboard - See your daily plan, active streak, and weekly activity at a glance so you always know where you stand. Daily Word Plan - A guided routine that tells you exactly what to study. You get a small set of words each day, work through them in order, and finish with a sense of real progress. Words Module - Study with flashcards, image-to-word matching, quizzes, example sentences, and fill-in-the-blank exercises. Then reinforce what you learned with typing, dictation, listening-based quizzes, and production practice. Phrasebook Module - Browse phrases organized by category, listen to them in context, take listening quizzes, and practice phrase dictation. It covers 30 categories so you can learn to speak Dutch across a wide range of everyday situations. Recall Module - Spaced repetition (SRS) review keeps Dutch vocabulary fresh over time by surfacing words right when you're about to forget them. Statistics - Track your study sessions and overall progress so you can see how far you've come. Offline Support - Core content is available offline so you can keep studying even without a connection. The app is built around one core idea: give you a clear answer to "what should I study today?" instead of leaving you to figure it out on your own. That daily structure is what helps Dutch vocabulary actually stick. If you want to teach yourself Dutch words, build real listening skills, and practice speaking Dutch phrases in a way that fits into a normal day, this app was designed with exactly that in mind. Free vs. Premium: The free plan gives you full access to the Home dashboard, the Daily Vocabulary Learning module, standard Words exercises, the basic Phrasebook listening stream with 5 sentences per category across 30 categories, SRS review, and progress tracking in Stats. Upgrading to Premium unlocks advanced Words tools including Weak Spot, Speed Test, and Matching, expands the Phrasebook to 100 sentences per category, and adds Sentence Search, Sentence Review, and Listening Lab for deeper, faster practice.
