But you might be thinking, which apps should you start with?

No worries – we’ve put together a list of the nine best apps for learning French.

Let’s dive straight in.

FluentU

Website: FluentU French

iOS / Android

Price: from $10/month (free trial and free version also available)

FluentU is a really unique app because it immerses you in real French, no matter where you are. FluentU turns music videos, commercials, news and inspiring talks into French learning experiences. You’ll learn real French the way native speakers use it in real life—things like common French expressions or slang. The videos also give you a really nice window into the French culture, which I think is pretty neat.

FluentU has a wide variety of great content, like movie trailers, funny commercials, movie trailers and web series, as you can see here:

But if you’re worried that you won’t understand the videos, don’t be. All of FluentU’s videos have interactive subtitles that you can tap on any time during the video, and the video will pause to show you a definition and useful examples for the word you tapped.

For example, if you tap on the word “suit,” then you see this:

Practice and reinforce all the vocabulary you’ve learned in a given video with learn mode. Swipe left or right to see more examples for the word you’re learning, and play the mini-games found in the dynamic flashcards, like “fill in the blank.”

All throughout, FluentU tracks the vocabulary that you’re learning and uses this information to give you a totally personalized experience. You’ll receive video recommendations that suit your interest and current level of progress.

Start using FluentU on the website with your computer or tablet or, better yet, download the FluentU app from the iTunes or Google Play stores.

MindSnacks

Price: $4.99

MindSnacks is a beautifully designed iOS app for French learners. Even though the app is geared towards students, I suspect you’ll find the iOS French app to be highly enjoyable in helping you learn new French words.

Widely acclaimed for its game oriented approach to learning and revising words, MindSnacks helps you learn new words through 9 games. The app is divided up into different units of vocabulary like food, job, transport, and for each vocabulary set, you can use these games to help learn and strengthen these words.

In one game, a word flashes on the screen, and you have to match it to the drawing. Get as many right every round for high scores. In another game, a bunch of French words and English words appear as balloons. Your challenge is to match as many pairs as possible.

With over 50 vocabulary sets available, you’ll find that these games will help you get through most of the heavy lifting in an entertaining way, helping you comb through the basics in no time.

MosaLingua

iOS /Android

Price: $4.99 (App Store), $5.99 (Google Play)

MosaLingua is a platform that’s a good blend between an interactive French app and an audio phrasebook.

What makes MosaLingua unique is its use of the SRS technique when presenting new words. Basically, SRS is a way to calculate when words should be presented for you to revise just before they’re about to be forgotten. That way, in the long term, words you learn will stick with you a lot longer.

With over 14 categories and 100 sub-categories, all with conversations and audio files to boot, and covering over 3000 phrases in its audio phrasebook, MosaLingua is designed to help you absorb all this material (and keep it!) in the shortest possible time.

For an app that has received largely positive ratings for its iOS French app and its Android French app, MosaLingua French is a great course to check out.

Rosetta Stone

iOS /Android

Price: Free (for a demo account)

It’s almost impossible to mention language learning without mentioning Rosetta Stone.

One of the oldest and most popular learning methodologies around, it’s now available as a mobile app.

Without going into the gory details, Rosetta Stone sets itself apart from many other language methodologies by offering a completely immersive experience. From the very beginning, it teaches French purely through French – there’s not a word in English inside the course.

By doing this, it simulates the environment that it believes is most conducive to learning a new language – when we were young children learning to speak our mother tongues.

Even though it can seem alien at first, by linking concepts and objects directly to French words (instead of their English equivalents), Rosetta Stone is a method that has great long term benefits.

You’ll be taken through a well sequenced pace where you’ll be exposed to words, sentences and phrases that builds on top of what you’ve already learnt.

For instance, you might be taught the French word for man (l’homme), woman (la femme), water (l’eau) through pictures.A phrase might then be shown to you that says “L’homme et la femme boivent d’eau” (the man and the woman is drinking water).You might not know the word “boivent” (to drink), but based on what you’ve already learnt, along with visual aids, you can probably guess.

If you’re a stone cold beginner in French, and you’re looking for a French iOS / Android app that allows you to learn French in a pure way, Rosetta Stone might be what you’re looking for.

Of course, you’re probably aware of the downside to Rosetta Stone: It’s expensive. That said, they offer a free trial that you can take for a spin, and you can occasionally find some great discounts and sale prices on the site. And if you’re a student, you’re in luck—there's a special student discount!

Memrise

iOS /Android

Price: Free

One of the most innovative apps for learning French words I’ve seen in a long time, Memrise is an excellent choice for your learning needs if you’re struggling to remember French words after a while.

Its methodology is highly unique. Unlike most apps, it doesn’t (just) teach words through pictures. It teaches you French words through humour. For example, the phrase “j’attends” (I am waiting) might be remembered by “I am waiting until I am old enough to attend school”, along with a picture of a baby with a pacifier. (You have to see it to really see the humour!)

The best thing is that these aren’t created by professionals – these are submitted by the community. So you’ll be seeing firsthand how other people learning French manage to learn tricky words by disguising them through clever jokes – an approach I’m sure you’ll find highly effective.

Memrise has many modules ranging from Basic to Advanced levels, where words are presented in batches of fifteen centered around themes like verbs, thoughts, feelings and colors.

A really creative way of tackling one of the most difficult problems of learning any language – acquiring vocabulary, the Memrise iOS and Android French apps are definitely worth checking out.
