Aprender o básico do francês com instruções dadas na sua língua materna? Sim, é possível com o Basic-Français. Basic-Français foi criado para ensinar o básico do francês em parceria com a Cidade de Paris e a Região da Ile de France, com co-financiamento europeu. Basic-Français é uma aplicação que acompanha os seus primeiros passos na aprendizagem do francês. Ludo e Vic, que foram concebidos para representar todos os povos deste mundo e para promover a igualdade de género, são convidados na sua vida quotidiana para o ajudar a descobrir a língua francesa com a ajuda de diálogos franceses adaptados à vida quotidiana e numerosas ilustrações para o ajudar a associar novas palavras em francês. Basic-Français remove a barreira da escrita ao declarar as instruções dos exercícios na sua língua materna. Na verdade, pode aprender o básico do francês independentemente do seu nível escolar. O francês básico pode ser usado mesmo por falantes não nativos e em línguas que não têm alfabeto. Uma vez que as explicações são dadas numa língua que compreende, isto reduz consideravelmente o seu nível de stress e permite-lhe adquirir o conteúdo educacional mais rapidamente. Há também muitas actividades, incluindo o reconhecimento de voz, para melhorar a sua pronúncia, facilitar a compreensão e memorização e tornar a aprendizagem mais divertida! Basic-Français abrange o primeiro nível (A1) do Quadro Europeu Comum de Referência para as Línguas, que lhe permite adquirir os meios de comunicação necessários para progredir rapidamente na sua aprendizagem do francês. Basic-Français não consome a sua taxa de dados. Todas as actividades estão totalmente operacionais sem ligação à Internet. Uma característica muito importante e rara a encontrar nas aplicações actuais.
