Verbes is designed for serious students of French who want to master verb conjugations through rapid recall drilling. Unlike most language apps that teach, entertain, or quiz, Verbes helps make verb forms automatic through focused, repetitive practice. Educational research has long demonstrated that actively recalling information strengthens long-term memory more effectively than simply rereading it. For more than fifteen years, Verboes has helped thousands of students master French verb forms through systematic practice. Built on a database of more than 750 verbs, it lets you concentrate on exactly the verb forms you're studying today. Whether you're preparing for tomorrow's quiz or working toward fluency, Verbes helps turn memorized conjugations into automatic recall. Using Verbes is simple. Tap once to display a randomly selected drill based on your current filters. Think of the correct conjugation, then tap again to reveal the answer. Customize every practice session by selecting: • individual verbs or your own custom verb lists • regular, irregular, and reflexive verbs • -er, -ir, and -re verbs • any of the fifteen tenses • any combination of person and number Want to practice only irregular present-tense verbs? Reflexive -er verbs? A single verb in the imperfect? Verbes lets you build exactly the practice session you need. Verbes is ideal for AP French students, university courses, homeschoolers, and independent learners who want confidence and speed in Fench verb conjugation. Verbes has been continuously refined and updated for more than fifteen years. Verbes isn't a game. You won't find animated characters, music, badges, or streaks. Instead, you'll find a carefully designed practice tool that helps serious students master Fench verbs through repetition and rapid recall. Stop studying verb conjugations. Start recalling them automatically.
Fluency Refrain

Fluency Refrain is a pronunciation app built on one idea: you learn to say a phrase by saying it WITH the voice, not after it. Pick a language, add the phrases you actually want to say, and chorus them: speak in unison with a studio voice, again and again, until the phrase comes up to full speed. Then let review bring each phrase back right before you forget it. CHORUS, DON'T REPEAT Repeating after a recording leaves a gap where your own accent creeps back in. Chorusing closes that gap. You say the phrase at the same time as the voice, matching its rhythm, stress and melody, with a tap-to-adjust gap and tempo so you can start slow and speed up as it sticks. YOUR PHRASES, NOT A SYLLABUS Start from a short seed pack for your goal (first phrases, travel basics, hard-to-pronounce phrases, or expressions worth collecting) and then add anything you like: a line from a show, something a friend said, the sentence you fumbled yesterday. Every phrase gets a studio voice in the language and variety you chose. REVIEW THAT BRINGS PHRASES BACK Spaced review schedules each phrase for the moment it is about to fade. Say it, reveal it, hear it, grade yourself. Phrases you nail come back less often; phrases you miss come back sooner. IDIOMS, PROVERBS AND TONGUE-TWISTERS Checked packs of idioms, proverbs and tongue-twisters for French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Greek, with meanings and references, ready to chorus. More languages on the way. BUILT FOR POLYGLOTS Keep as many languages as you like. Pin up to three as your focus, and the app tells you which language needs you next. Transliteration for non-Latin scripts. Studio voices in 80+ languages and regional varieties. WORKS WITH FLUENCY STREAK Link Fluency Refrain to Fluency Streak and every chorus and review session counts toward your daily language streak automatically. WHAT TESTERS SAY "I found that chorusing revolutionized my ability to learn Korean. This app has revolutionized my ability to chorus. It is simple to use, has many uses, and permits the addition of all kinds of material. I love it!" — Mindy Thompson Fullilove, MD, author of The Tao of K-drama (Oxford University Press) FREE AND PRO Free: unlimited languages, up to 20 phrases, full chorus and review. Refrain Pro removes the phrase limit. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage them in your App Store account settings.
