A smarter, more meaningful way to grow your French vocabulary! * Leverage etymology, related words, and memory hooks to gain a deeply understands the words * Pick your current level of French to target vocabulary that matches your learning stage * Strengthen your memory through smart spaced-repetition learning algorithm * Stay motivated by tracking your learning streaks and vocabulary growth over time I decided to make this when I started looking up the etymology and related French words manually for difficult new words I'm learning. I felt that it gave the words more nuance and depth, which always helped me remember them better. But more importantly, it made the boring old vocabulary learning fun. For me, knowing the etymology and seeing how the roots tie different languages together was a grounding experience. It makes me deeply appreciate the language itself, and I hope you feel the same joy using the app.
