Learn the basics of French, with instructions pronounced in your mother tongue ? Yes, that is now possible with Basic-Français. Basic-Français was developed to teach the basics of French in partnership with the City of Paris and the „Ile de France“ region, with some European co-financing. Basic-Français is an App which guides you through your first steps in the process of learning French. Ludo and Vic were created to represent all the peoples of this World and to promote gender equality. They let you discover French through dialogues (in French) which cover many aspects of daily life. There are also many pictures that will help you to increase your vocabulary Basic-Français breaks the wall of words by giving orally the instructions to the exercices, in your mother tongue. This will enable you to learn the basics of French independently of your level of schooling. Basic-Français can even be developed for mother tongues that have no alphabet. Since the instructions are given in a language that you understand, this reduces considerably your level of stress. It makes learning both faster and easier. There are also many activities, including voice recognition, to enhance your prononciation, to help in memorizing and make learning more fun ! Basic-Français covers the first level (A1) of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. This will give you the means to progress rapidly in your learning of French. Basic-Français does not use up your data plan. All the activities are fully operational with no internet connection. This is a very important, and rare, characteristic in Apps these days

Start thinking in English. Everything you need to learn English in one app, from your very first words to confident business English. A magazine made for your level, grammar lessons, vocabulary, a full dictionary and audio, all connected so each one feeds the next. You know the scattered routine already. A vocab app on one screen, a grammar book on the shelf, flashcards you never came back to, an article you opened once and left behind. Englify pulls it into a single place, whether you are starting from scratch or sharpening advanced English. ONE APP. SIX TOOLS. ALL WORKING TOGETHER. Your English magazine, made for your level. Real articles on culture, work and everyday life, written for A1 through C1+. As you read, tap any word to see its meaning and grammar right inside the text. Every article, read aloud. Listen at your own pace. Speed it up, slow it down, follow along with the text, then test yourself with comprehension questions until it really clicks. Grammar that actually teaches. Not just a quiz engine. Real lessons that explain the rules first, verb tenses, articles, phrasal verbs and word order, backed by 1,000+ exercises so the rules become second nature. Finally made visual. Vocabulary at your pace. Try each exercise before the translation appears. Peek only if you really need to. Daily flashcards built on spaced repetition quietly turn new words into words you own. Dictionary? Got that too. 7,000+ words with verb forms, real phrases, regional terms and audio. Everything in one tap. Business English that means business. The vocabulary and phrases you actually use in meetings, emails and the office. Most apps leave this out. We built it into the core of Englify, so you can speak up in the room instead of just nodding along. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE. iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, all in sync. Start an article on the train, finish it at your desk, review words on your wrist. No account. No login. Just open and learn. WHY ENGLIFY IS DIFFERENT. Made for adults who want to learn English properly, whether you are just starting or already advanced. Built around real English text where you tap to learn, not around isolated drills. Quiet and focused, with nothing cluttering the screen. FREE. AND WE MEAN IT. Most apps lock everything behind a subscription. We do not.

Every exercise you finish earns coins, and coins give you premium content. No credit card, just keep learning.
