International Francophonie Day: 5 best Android apps to learn french easily
March 20th 2018 see us celebrate the International Francophonie Day. The day sees a celebration of all thing French and as such we thought it would only be fitting to provide you with the tools you need to learn French itself. Learning languages isn’t easy, especially as the older you get, the harder it becomes to retain the information.
But thanks to the advancements of technology and the introduction of those precious devices in your pocket (or in the palm of your hand right now, depending on how you’re viewing this page) learning languages has never been easier. Rather than paying a fortune on private education and tuition, you can simply install an app and get practicing.
Duolingo: Learn Languages Free
Duolingo has to make any list worth its salt when it comes to learning languages. It’s evolved tremendously since it was first introduced and it’s absolutely brilliant. It’s free and you can choose one of many languages. It then helps you learn through a series of interactive methods. That could include utilizing your microphone to actually pronounce the word or it could have you spelling a word, or translating it from French to English. It’s fun, addictive and rewards you for your commitment and dedication.
Learn French with Babbel
Babbel is another great app for learning languages. As well as the app, you can also use your laptop or computer to use the service. It’s similar to Duolingo in that it makes learning fun and interactive, keeping your attention engaged while helping you to pick up new words and phrases. It’s definitely worth a try.
HelloTalk Learn Languages Free
We love HelloTalk for a completely different reason to the others on this list and that’s because it is different to the others on this list. Yes it is designed to help you learn a language but unlike the others, it doesn’t rely on a database of words and phrases which you need to implement within sentences. Instead it pairs you up with live conversations with others who are also trying to learn a language (your language). It works by you both helping each other learn the other persons language, and it certainly stands out from the crowd.
Learn Languages – busuu
Busuu is a leader in language learning and gives you audiovisual material which helps you learn and pick up words and phrases. You can also access a diverse community of users which can help you practice too if you befriend them. There are hundreds of topics and you’ll slowly begin to form the backbone of the language you want to learn.
Learn French. Speak French
Lastly we have Learn French, Speak French. This app gives you the power of productivity and education in the palm of your hand. It’s packed with exercises that help you practice and gives you both audio and visual methods of learning. It boasts conversations that are spoken by native French speakers too so you’re sure to get an authentic experience.
