How to Use FrenchPod101’s Worksheets

Just download our French worksheets PDF files and print them out! Then, practice writing out words and phrases on the provided lines on the inside. It’s as simple as that.

How the French alphabet worksheet works:

Just practice writing out the characters inside the worksheet. You’ll even get a chance to practice writing a few simple words. Once you’re done with the alphabet worksheet, feel free to move on to the other French worksheet PDFs.

Here’s how the French writing worksheets work:

In the first part, you’ll get the French word and its meaning, and your job is to write the word in French.

In the second part, you get the French word without any translations. Your job is to write the English translation here.

The third part will test your ability to recall the French words. Here, you only get the English translation. Your job is to try and remember the French word and write it out on the provided line.

By the end, you’ll remember the words because you’re tested on them in multiple ways: 1) recalling the meaning of the French word and 2) recalling the French word from the English translation.

You can also print out several copies of the French worksheet PDFs in order to get extra practice.

Well, If you want to learn and speak flowing French, you can’t just passively read or listen to French and hope it sticks. A few words may stick but you will forget a majority of what you hear and learn. And you’re probably already well aware of how quickly you forget what you learn, right? Let’s change that.

So, if you want to truly learn French, you’ll need to practice. Repeated practice is what cements the French into your brain. And that’s where our French worksheets for beginners come in.

There are lots of ways to practice French, but if you want to become a better speaker, the ideal solution is to add real conversation practice to your other learning resources.

Luckily, there are lots of opportunities to practice speaking French, both online and in real life .  

Let’s take a look at some French conversation websites, apps, and other ways to practice French with native speakers , and find out which one is the best for you!

What is the best French conversation website?

All of the French conversation apps and websites on our list have their good points, but a few stand out to us. Before we get into more detail, here’s a quick rundown of our favorites.

Best French conversation exchange website: Polyglot Club

• offers a variety of features , including tutoring, online conversation partners, and real-life meet-up opportunities .
• text or video chats
• the general vibe is very friendly

Best website for real-life French conversation exchange: Polyglot Club and Meetup.com

• Both sites offer countless opportunities to have conversations in French .
• You can organize a one-on-one French conversation exchange or participate in group events, courses, and guided tours in French .
• Polyglot Club also offers online French conversation exchange, which means you could meet someone that way and eventually choose to meet up in person, as well.

How to stay safe when chatting with a French conversation partner

Before you start looking for a French conversation partner, please be safe. Whether you’re talking online or in person – or both – most people you’ll meet on French conversation websites and apps are probably fellow language learners and not a threat. But you never know.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind.

1. Some language exchange participants advise creating a separate email account and even using a fake name when communicating with online language exchange partners. This could prevent everything from harassment, to hacking, to identity theft.

2. Before you make contact with an online conversation partner, be sure that any location tracking apps you might have on, are turned off .

3. Before you start a video chat, make sure there are no important documents, objects of value, or specific things that might identify you in sight. Even if, say, a pile of bills are lying on a table in the background, you never know if the person talking to you can zoom in and get some information. That might be unlikely, but it’s best to err on the side of caution.

4. Depending on the site and circumstances (for example, if you and your French pen pal decide to go old school and send each other actual letters by mail), you probably won’t have to give a language exchange partner information like your last name, address, or phone number. But if they ask for any of these, don’t give them out. Be careful about giving out other details early on, like your birthday, where you live, the name of your workplace, children, pets, etc.

5. If you choose to do an in-person French language exchange, be sure to always meet up in a public place, with other people around.

6. Do not send someone money. This may sound like a no-brainer…but what if you make a real connection with the person you meet and they really seem to be in need?  Every circumstance is different, of course, but at least wait until you know them very well before you even consider doing this. Even then, think long and hard about sending money to a stranger .  As one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, Catfish , proves again and again, there are so many people out there who seem honest but are actually living a lie and scamming people along the way!

7. Sometimes a little flirtinig can be a great way to motivate you to improve your language skills. But beware: Often, this online romancing is actually scamming .

Again, most people you’ll meet on language exchange websites are there to learn and maybe make a friend or two. But there’s always that one person who spoils everything…. So it’s best to be prepared, just in case. This list offers  additional safety tips for communicating online . You may want to give it a read before you start chatting with a French conversation partner.

The best French conversation practice apps and websites

Here are some websites and apps that can help you hone your French conversation skills.

French Together

French Together is a language learning app focused on conversational French. Instead of just teaching you words and grammar like most apps, it teaches you how to have actual conversations in French through a series of listening, speaking, and written exercises .

French Together lets you train your ears and build your confidence for when it’s time for a real conversation. French Together costs $144 a year or $24/month if you choose the monthly plan. Check your local version of  French Together’s pricing page  for prices in your currency.

French Together offers a 7-day free trial which means you can  try it risk-free for one week .

Tandem is a trendy and visually appealing language exchange app . Users pair up to practice each other’s language through conversation – a fun and personal way to learn. A bit reminiscent of WhatsApp, Tandem’s Chat feature gives you the option of talking to one person or doing a group chat, either through texts, audio, or video conversations. You can use many of Tandem’s features for free, although there are some paid options . Tandem has gotten great reviews from language learners around the world and the majority of its members seem to be serious and motivated.

One of the most popular language exchange apps , HelloTalk is free . It offers advanced messaging features that help you easily correct your language partner’s messages during chats . In addition to talking through text messages , you can also have conversations via audio and video .

Polyglot Club

Polyglot Club is one of French Together founder Benjamin’s favorite language exchange sites . It’s also a sort of hybrid, with features like online chat and video functions , language help from native speakers , (paid) online tutoring , and even the opportunity to take part in organized events and French conversation groups around the world, both online and in person . 

Founded in France but now international, the site, which is free as of this writing, has a friendly feel to it, and when Benjamin attended one of their events in Paris a few years ago, he found that to carry over to real life. It’s a pressure-free environment where everyone wants to learn.

Busuu is one of my favorite French learning apps , since it covers so many areas of French learning . In addition to its lessons , Busuu has an interactive online platform where native speakers can correct your work as well as participate in language exchange. It’s a well-liked and well-developed part of the Busuu learning experience, and another thing that makes Busuu one of the best general French learning apps out there. As of this writing,  Busuu  has a free option, but this only includes a few lessons and flashcards, so it’s definitely better to purchase a Busuu Premium membership. Prices and packages vary, but you can expect around $60 a year. Check Busuu’s website for prices in your local currency.

Easy Language Exchange

In addition to the typical language exchange website features like chats, Easy Language Exchange also boasts a “Working Together” forum, where users can post questions about translation issues, school help, etc. Easy Language Exchange’s over 70,000 users generally seem to be very friendly , with a real sense of community. That means this site could be a good place to start if you’re feeling a little intimidated by the idea of talking to someone you don’t know.

Interpals is another site where you can find French conversation partners, as well as pen pals, for free . French Together founder Benjamin used this very site when he started learning languages. He ended up meeting and making friends with several conversation partners , and later visited them when he was traveling abroad.

How to find a French conversation partner near you

It’s amazing that you can chat online with native French speakers, no matter where you are in the world. But if you’d also like to have an in-person language exchange experience, here’s how to find French conversation practice opportunities near you.

1. Meetup.com

Meetup is a website that lets you create or join a local group (or multiple groups) based on your interests. The site is free to use, although there’s a monthly fee if you create a group.

You can use this website to find all kind of events, from conversation practice to French courses and French-language tours of cities or museums.

2. Conversation Exchange

As its clear, to-the-point name suggests, Conversation Exchange’s site is simple, even old-school style, and easy to navigate. That said, there’s more to it than meets the eye. The site offers a few learning and conversation resources . But the star of the show is connecting you with real-life French conversation partners . Bonus: If you’re looking for a way to brush up on your French letter or email writing as well,  there’s also a section where you can find a French pen pal.

3. Real-life or online community message boards

Some places, like universities and libraries, for instance, may allow you to post a flyer asking for a French conversation partner. Be sure to include things like how often you’d like to chat and what level of French you have. Instead of including your real email or phone number, consider creating an email account so that you can filter your responses. You can also use this when first reaching out to someone who might have posted a flier that interests you, too.

4. Facebook and other social networks

Social networks: They’re not just for sharing selfies and your favorite memes! (Not that there’s anything wrong with that….) They can also be an awesome way to connect with people and learn French.

You could, for example, type “[Your city] French meetup”, “English French exchange [your city]” or “French conversation practice [your city]” into your favorite search engine or on Facebook to get a list of all the French speaking events in your city.

And lots of French learners say that French learning Facebook groups are great ways to find likeminded people to do a conversation exchange with .

5. Couchsurfing

The official Couchsurfing website doesn’t just offer opportunities to find a couch to crash on (or to offer up your own couch). In addition to offering opportunities for people to stay at each other’s homes and discover the local culture, the Couchsurfing site features hangouts and events – free conversation groups or online chats for members – that take place both online and in real life. 

The one downside is that the site is no longer free . Still, the low fee could be worth it, especially if couchsurfing is your ideal way to travel.

6. Polyglot Club

This entry may look familiar if you read the other section of this article. But it’s worth mentioning again, because Polyglot Club’s primary claim to fame is in-person meetup language exchange events.

You can check the site for meetups in your area or to somewhere you’re traveling to . For instance, if you come to France, see if there’s a Polyglot Club event planned near where you’re staying. These events are excellent opportunities for practicing your French.

7. Language immersion programs and homestays

A number of organizations offer immersion programs and opportunities to live with a French family for a while. Whether or not it includes a homestay, a French immersion course is an amazing way to kickstart your language abilities – not to mention your confidence. And you may end up making lifelong friends in the process. 

There are a lot of immersion program and homestay options, with variations like different trip durations, budgets, and extras , so this option does mean doing a little research. You may want to start with our list of the best intensive French courses .

Who is the perfect French conversation partner?

As you can see, there are lots of ways to find a French conversation partner and practice speaking French. But what makes a good French conversation partner?

Ideally the perfect French conversation partner is someone who:

• is a native speaker, especially of the kind of French you want to learn most  (French from France, Quebecois, French from Cameroon, etc.).
• seems interesting. Talking to someone in a language you are learning isn’t easy, so you need to find someone you will look forward to talking to . Of course that person is different for everyone and depends on your interests.

Can your French conversation partner be a non-native speaker?

If you really enjoy talking to someone who is not a native French speaker, but still speaks French very well, keep doing it.  You can still learn a lot from non-native speakers , and as you practice together , you may notice questions or challenges that come up that you can explore .

So, learning with a non-native speaker can be a great thing. The only caveat is that you’re not getting to really practice French as it’s spoken by a native Francophone, both in terms of vocabulary choice and pronunciation. So the ideal situation would be to continue your French conversation practice with this person, while also finding a native speaker to talk to, as well.

You should also watch/listen to French TV shows , movies , radio programs , and podcasts , in order to make sure your ear is accustomed to French as its spoken by a native speaker. Using a French conversation app like French Together would also be a way for you to hone your conversation and pronunciation skills, and build your confidence, all while listening to audio from native French speakers .

The best French AI chatbots

Let’s be clear: No matter how good AI gets, a chatbot cannot replace real, human interaction.

But French chatbots can be a way to test your basic French skills, or get a little extra practice (ideally you’re using them in addition to a French learning app or course and a human French conversation partner).

Not all French chatbots are perfect – many have bugs, or the time you can use them is limited. But if you’re interested in using a French chatbot, here are two I can personally recommend:

When I tested MemBot , French learning app Memrise’s chatbot, it responded accurately and realistically no matter what I threw at it, and the corrections it made to written responses were accurate and showed an attention to detail. Also, unlike some other French chatbots on our list, the paid version of MemBot allows you unlimited chat time.

Langua  

Langua is the second best French chatbot  I’ve tried. Its role-plays are especially realistic and impressive . Unfortunately, its free version is limited to 15 messages , although I have been told a more generous free trial will soon be available.

If you’d like to learn more about these two French chatbots, or would like to see if some other French chatbots would be a better fit for you, feel free to check out our French chatbots review .

I hope this list of French conversation practice resources was helpful to you. Whichever one(s) you choose, good luck and enjoy your French learning journey!

What our French learners think

Taken from app store and google play.

I downloaded the app to give learning French another another shot after different apps weren’t working for me (stupid owl). I’ve only just finished the first level of French, and one week of this app, has helped me more than months of others. 

I have had this app for four years to improve my French. I pay for the full version and it’s really worth it. I have tried lots of language apps and this is probably the best one I have ever used.

 I have used or evaluated at least 20 language apps and I’ve done three complete courses on Duolingo (Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, plus some Spanish top-up). Memrise is FAR superior to any of them

One of the most useful features to me is the literal translations of French phrases to English. It helps a lot with understanding the French language. The developers deserve my money.

much better than duolingo !! teaches words you would actually use in real life and how to recognise it in a normal conversation, and even how it would really be pronounced. i really like it ! im taking gcse french and possibly going to france for a language course and this is really helping.

I highly recommend this app especially for language listening skills - you get to hear more colloquial phrases as they’re spoken in real life by locals. Can confirm as a French learner in Paris.

12 French Learning Websites for Students

You may have heard that websites can help students improve their French learning skills.

Your colleagues might use them and rave about how the students are so much more excited (and efficient, cooperative and self-sufficient) now that they have brought the internet to the classroom .

In addition to orienting you into this web world, in this post, I’ll be sharing 12 French learning sites that your students will be stoked to surf.

• 1. Larousse

3. Bescherelle

• 4. Parlons Français
• 5. BBC Languages
• 6. Français Facile
• 7. Expressio
• 8. Bibliothèque Numérique
• 9. Herodote

10. Quizlet

11. youtube, 12. teachers pay teachers, why websites are perfect tools for your french students, students and internet: a match made in heaven, culture and curiosity, increased familiarity and exposure, authentic language, how to maximize your students’ french learning skills using websites, teach students how to be organized, include these sites in your teaching routine, encourage students to use online tests to prepare for the big exam.

Download: This blog post is available as a convenient and portable PDF that you can take anywhere. Click here to get a copy. (Download)

1.  Larousse

Needless to say, this is the ultimate guide to checking and learning new words, idioms and structures. One of the most reputable French dictionaries has put its entire content online for free .

Your students can simply type in the word they want to search and the results are displayed at a glance. The Larousse website includes a French-French dictionary, a French thesaurus, a dictionary of antonyms, an encyclopedia and bilingual dictionaries.

What else could you ask for? Oh, this: a conjugations checker, forums, games and a French cooking dictionary—all of which you’ll find on Larousse!

Taking a step back from the traditional textbook approach, FluentU encourages users to learn the French language in a more natural way. The language program presents students with authentic French videos like movie clips, music videos and inspirational talks. 

This content is made approachable through accurate interactive subtitles in French and English (both of which can be turned on or off), which allow students to hover over any word of a video to see its definition and add it as a flashcard for later review. Students can create flashcard decks and are also quizzed on the words used in the videos they watch.

You can assign specific videos, flashcards or audio content for students to complete, then view each individual student’s learning progress and accuracy. So students can enjoy the content they’ll likely find entertaining or interesting, and you’ll also get insight into what words and concepts they could use additional help with.

Now, that’s a name that needs no introduction. To check a conjugation and your tableau de conjugaison (conjugation board), which includes a verb’s conjugation for all tenses and modes, we’ve all had to carry our little red book. Until now.

Like Larousse, Bescherelle has put its content online, allowing your students to look for a verb and review its conjugation in a single-page format . Think of it as the Google of French conjugation, and it is organized and efficient. There are also app versions available.

Keep in mind that there are no translations at all, a sign that the website is made for natives and is as authentic as it gets.

4.  Parlons Français

This free website offers numerous great resources primarily for beginner and intermediate students. Developed by the European broadcast network TV5Monde, it includes 80 activities to learn French that are all ranked by level.

Your students can start by taking a quick test to determine their exact level. Parlons Français includes varied multimedia content and learning modules comprised of articles, web documentaries, games and web challenges. All lessons are accompanied by exercises and memos to recap key phonetics, grammar, vocabulary and culture points.

You can easily incorporate the website in your French class, either as complementary activities that students can do at home or together in class using a projector and screen.

5.  BBC Languages

Although more limited than Parlons français , this is another free website that will greatly help your French students master the language of Molière.

While it is set in a bilingual format, BBC French offers high-quality content. Lessons and courses include video and audio content with transcripts, interactive games, vocabulary cards, grammar explanations and exercises . It is mostly targeted at beginners, but it goes beyond this level.

Equally fun for children and adults, we particularly like the format of their French syllabus , which is especially efficient for teachers who like to stay organized.

6.  Français Facile

Now, don’t get discouraged by the website’s old-school design—this is a particularly effective resource to introduce to all students who struggle with French grammar and conjugation.

With an extensive library of courses and exercises that discuss the head-scratching parts of French (such as the rules of French grammar, conjugation and spelling), we particularly love that all points are explained in a concise manner and illustrated with numerous examples. Students can also take a test at the end of the lesson to verify their understanding of the subject they’ve just learned.

This is great if you want your students to prepare (or review) a complex point, especially for your intermediate and advanced students. The site’s forum and pen pals sections can be beneficial to all of your students.

7.  Expressio

What French teacher never felt overwhelmed by the spate of questions from their students about the origins of a seemingly nonsensical French idiom?

This website makes it easy for you! With an almost endless list of French idioms explained , this is the ultimate guide to making teaching idioms easy and interesting.

Each entry details the origins and meaning of most common idioms with historical facts and anecdotes about the expressions you’re looking for. It also includes examples to show proper usage in context and translations!

8.  Bibliothèque Numérique

This is another great resource for which we can thank the European broadcast network TV5Monde. Also free, it focuses on French literature and is mainly dedicated to your advanced students (or those that have a knack for words).

You can get instant access to over 400 French classics online without registration. It’s an excellent resource for helping you structure your lessons, thanks to its collection of summaries and commentaries about the author, novel, essay or poem that you are studying.

9.  Herodote

Named after the famous Greek historian, this is a website that is actually used by French natives in their History classroom—largely because it’s the most extensive, informative and interactive of its kind.

Free or paid, this is a great way for you to introduce a part of French culture and history that is often overlooked by French teachers. It can incentivize your students to discover parts of the French culture that are often reserved for more advanced learners, and as such, offers a challenge to your most motivated and curious students.

Because this is mainly designed for French natives, the language is as authentic as it gets. Use Herodote ’s history courses and articles with your advanced students, but feel free to use the chronologies and flashcards with your intermediate students.

There is a reason that flashcards have aided students for decades in everything from addition to foreign language vocabulary:  they work!  Often used to supplement material at home, flashcards can be an excellent resource .

To use them in the classroom, consider a web-based tool such as Quizlet, which offers online flashcards covering a high variety and volume of French vocabulary . Having students create their own set or engage with sets available can reinforce the material they learned over the course of several weeks.

There’s the option to include Quizlet Live , which engages students through games and healthy competition. Tons of blog posts also have lots of ideas on how to use Quizlet in the classroom. 

For an abundance of free resources, look no further than YouTube. There, you can find French content for all audiences.

There are tons of YouTube channels for learning French , depending on the topics of your lessons and your students’ interests. The videos could be specifically about language learning topics or anything else under the sun.

For example, the beloved children’s series Le Petit Nicolas  now has its own YouTube channel, as does  Kaamelott , a kooky take on King Arthur in the spirit of Monty Python. Popular French cooking channels, such as the L’atelier de Roxane , can also complement units on the imperative or food vocabulary.

Loaded with a variety of premium French resources like worksheets and quizzes which you can adapt to suit your curriculum, Teachers Pay Teachers is a website that is more suited for you as a teacher than your students.

You could also find charts, which allow students to draw comparisons between objects while improving their vocabulary. To take visuals to the next level, find games that employ more advanced vocabulary. Whatever material you need, this website is likely to have it, and it saves you a ton of work, too!

There’s also the British equivalent, TES , depending on your classroom needs and location.

Your students live and breathe the internet. Let’s not fool ourselves: Long gone are the days when they’d rush for a bilingual dictionary to learn everything about an unknown word.

Going online to check the meaning, spelling, structure or verb should not be mistaken as a demonstration of our era’s laziness. Rather, it ought to be celebrated as this generation’s desire for efficiency.

Instead of fighting the tools that your students prefer to use, help them by pointing them in the right direction—towards the websites that will help them progress and not “waste their time.”

Websites offer a diverse, endless range of content and knowledge—think of it as the ultimate library. They facilitate the learning process by helping students take control of what they want to learn, based on their interests.

While not all websites are worthwhile, the discovery process resembles the journey to finding the perfect book. In short, your students demonstrate a sense of independence and ownership when they get online to find answers and learn.

Keep in mind that for your students, browsing the web is how they can travel without leaving the comfort of their homes. Think of it as an instantaneous, free and inclusive window to the French world.

By exposing themselves regularly to French websites, your students will progressively assimilate frequent terms and stumble upon new content.

Ultimately, they are a great and affordable way to recreate a close-to-real immersion experience . Websites don’t only contain written content, but also incorporate videos, audio and videoconferencing that can develop their listening and speaking skills .

What can be more French than an authentic French website, written by native French speakers for other French speakers?

True, your students may not necessarily want to learn sophisticated or literary French first (the French that most teachers want to teach first), but like English, French is a varied, comprehensive language with multiple styles and levels of speech.

If your students veer from this list of websites and end up on ones that use argot (slang), for example, know that it will actually increase their understanding of the French language as a whole, but you need to let them know how it fits within the language. Teach them that slang is slang, it is heavily connoted and should not be used in official or work contexts.

Additionally, languages evolve. Websites and social media are often the first to reflect changes to the language. Rather than fight it, guide your students and teach them what the correct or best possible forms are. Explain the evolutions, and how to best use them in which context.

Give your students options, but let them pick what sites work best for them. It’s easy to be all over the place when using websites, so make sure to focus on a handful of good ones rather than trying to do too much and gobbling up data from all of them.

Rest assured that the websites listed are all worth your students’ time, but make an effort to familiarize yourself with them before introducing the sites to your students. For example, know which website serves what purpose, what tools are most useful, etc.

Here are some additional tips that will maximize your students’ learning skills with these websites:

Enter bookmarks. Make sure your students mark the websites that work best for them as favorites in their home browser. This will save time and is such a simple step that produces huge benefits—almost completely ensuring that your students will visit those sites regularly on their own.

Also, the main challenge when using websites with your French students is to teach them that they need to be proactive , as well as which methods to use to make their online learning more efficient. Don’t expect your students to master content just by surfing digital pages—that’s just not how it works!

Encourage your classes to:

• Look for words they don’t know using the Larousse virtual dictionaries
• Verify grammar and conjugation using the Bescherelle website
• Make their own flashcards using copied-and-pasted content from the French websites you are using together
• Constantly review these cards—as they would with books!

Instill a sense of curiosity in your students. It’s always beneficial to introduce vetted French websites to your students with a sense of discovery. Pique their interest by letting them know why it’s interesting, but don’t reveal too much either.

Make sure that you are regularly introducing websites to your students; it cannot be a one-off thing, otherwise, the purpose of immersion will be lost.

Be precise in what you want your students to learn and browse. These websites all include a comprehensive selection of courses, videos and pages, so make sure to give your French learners a link and precise directions of what you expect from them.

That’s right: Let your students know that there are tons of free tools online that can help them improve their scores dramatically. Simple and easy, online tests are a great way for students to quiz themselves while building confidence.

Guide your students at the start and let them know exactly which tests they should check out. These tests can also serve as graded exercises, but keep in mind that most of these websites already put the answers online.

The internet has incredible resources that are just waiting to be used.

It won’t be too long until you realize just how effective these websites are for your students, and how much they love them.

FrenchPod101 has 2,500 French podcasts and audio lessons for various proficiency levels, ranging from beginner to advanced.

Free version offers limited materials; paid membership plans provide access to more content (Basic: $8 a month, Premium: $25 a month, Premium Plus: $47 a month)

• Diverse lesson topics
• Huge library of podcasts
• No clear learning structure
• Lessons overrely on your native language

With the free version of FrenchPod101, users can learn vocabulary and grammar from thousands of audio lessons and podcasts at their own pace. However, Premium Plus subscribers benefit from customized learning programs and tutor-led online classes – making it one of the best apps to learn French .

Yet signing up for private lessons with this platform isn’t straightforward. Before you can start learning with a real tutor, you must take a placement test, write and record a self-introduction, and inform the app’s team of your availability.

This podcast-based French learning website offers informal lessons that break down everyday interactions, share common phrases, and explain useful grammar concepts.

Some free podcast lessons, but comprehensive course bundles range from $25 to $345

• Hosts provide detailed explanations
• Lessons build on skills learned in previous episodes
• No practice using the language
• Classes are slow-paced

Through practical audio lessons, Scottish teacher Mark covers various aspects of the French language – like sentence structure, pronunciation, and cultural insights – as he instructs his student, Anna.

Each episode is about 20 minutes and delves into how French works using clear English explanations. Thus, it’s ideal for beginners who want a gentle introduction to the language of love but unhelpful for those who wish to immerse themselves in French from the start.

Brainscape is one of the many French learning websites that use flashcards. However, as it uses an enhanced spaced repetition algorithm, it’s more effective at helping you retain new knowledge. 

Free limited access or paid subscription plans for unlimited access (Monthly: $19.99, Annually: $95.98, Lifetime: $199.99)

• Create and share flashcards with other users
• Software algorithm targets weaknesses
• No course structure
• Some incorrect flashcards

Get access to thousands of quick-fire questions on French vocabulary and grammar with Brainscape’s virtual flashcards. Rank how difficult answering each one is to help calibrate how often the website will ask you the same question again.

This way, you can improve on words or concepts you find difficult and address your shortcomings. Admittedly, its software doesn’t help you improve your French skills (especially speaking and listening), but it’s great for remembering short sentences and new terms.

Rosetta Stone’s visual exercises – complemented with audio clips – revolutionized the e-learning industry when it launched in 1992. The company has since added other useful offline learning features to keep up with the times.

Paid subscription plans (3 months: $36, 1 year: $144)

• Immersion-style approach
• Voice recognition technology
• No writing practice
• Live classes cost extra

Rosetta Stone is one of the best websites to learn French offline as all its self-study materials are available to download. You can complete fill-in-the-blank exercises, listen to audio files, and use voice recognition software to improve on tricky French pronunciations without worrying about wifi or mobile coverage when you’re on the go.

The program also offers tutor-led sessions, but unlike other platforms, Rosetta Stone only provides 25-minute lessons with three other students (ranging from $14-$19 per class). You can only attend three classes a week, so they don’t allow you much time to practice speaking.

Memrise is a language platform providing easy-to-follow lessons that can help introduce you to the basics of French.

Free limited access, or pay a Premium Membership for unlimited access (Monthly: $8.49, Yearly: $29.99, Lifetime: $119.99)

• Offers resources created by the company and other users
• Uses a spaced repetition system to target weaknesses
• Only focuses on vocabulary and short sentences
• Website is difficult to navigate
• Not suitable for advanced learners

This language learning website teaches you the fundamental aspects of French using multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank exercises that feature audio and video clips narrated by native speakers.

Memrise has a similar gamified approach to learning as Duolingo – reward points, leaderboards, progress quizzes, etc. – that motivates you to keep studying as you track your progress.

Despite these positive features, Memrise fails to cover advanced grammar or offer conversation classes with real tutors, so it’s only suitable for beginners who are just starting to learn French.

Babbel’s learning tools allow you to analyze French sentence structures to help you sound more natural when writing.

Paid subscription plans (Monthly: $11.15, Lifetime: $249)

• In-depth explanations of French syntax
• Relatively affordable
• Live tutor-led lessons cost extra
• Not very motivating

Babbel explains French sentence structures in the context of short texts so you can incorporate them into your own writing and speaking. The site also provides helpful podcasts and video lessons that give you the lowdown on grammar topics and cultural insights.

Live group classes (with up to 5 other learners) are also available if you pay for a more costly subscription plan ($99 a month or $599 a year). Yet, unlike Preply, you can’t choose your own teacher or benefit from 1-on-1 tutoring.

FluentU’s lessons teach you French with video clips from popular TV shows and movies to help keep you engaged while studying independently.

Paid membership plans (Monthly: $29.99, 1 year: $96.00)

• Grammar explained within context of video clips
• Ability to make personalized flashcards
• No learning path or structure to follow
• No speaking practice

FluentU helps you learn conversational French by watching clips from TV shows, such as The Big Bang Theory, and famous movies. While enjoying short scenes, click on subtitles (in your native language and French) to get definitions of the words and explanations of the grammar being used.

Although FluentU does provide a more entertaining method to acquire French, it doesn’t test your understanding or let you practice using what you’ve learned. So it’s not as effective as working with a personal tutor who can measure your progress and adjust plans accordingly.

Bonjour de France is a French learning website that provides straightforward grammar explanations and exercises for learners at all levels.

• Varied lesson topics
• Focus on listening, vocabulary, and grammar
• Difficult to navigate the website
• No tutor feedback or guidance

Bonjour de France is an excellent platform for beginner, intermediate, and advanced students who want to improve their understanding of challenging French grammar concepts – like the imperative, different pronouns, or the subjunctive.

The questions and grammar explanations are simple and basic, so it may not suit users that struggle to stay engaged with more traditional learning approaches. Nevertheless, as it’s free and covers most grammar topics, it’s a fantastic resource for learning the ins and outs of French.

If you’ve started learning French on your own but have become bored with textbooks and other mundane resources, Le Point Du Fle might be able to help. This website gives you free links to materials that cover a wide range of French topics.

• Suitable for all learning levels
• Provides resources for writing, listening, grammar, and speaking
• No learning plan or structure
• Most materials designed for French teachers

Le Point Du Fle shares links to excellent free resources that can add variety to your language learning journey – from quizzes on the subjunctive to free shows of famous French comedies.

However, as you navigate this website, be aware that many materials are designed for group or 1-on-1 classes. Some content might be difficult to understand and learn from without teacher guidance.

French Today is a language learning platform that aims to teach you how to comprehend and speak this romantic language through the use of audiobooks.

Some free lessons, but individual courses cost $99.99, or you can purchase a course bundle package for all four levels (beginner to advanced) for $349.99

• Can slow down speed of audiobooks
• Access to lesson transcripts
• 600+ free classes
• Live tutor-led lessons are expensive
• All level tests are only audio-based

French Today offers audio lessons that give tips on French grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. However, unlike other listening-based language learning websites, you can choose for audiobooks to be read in 3 different styles: slow, enunciated, and modern.

The platform also offers online Skype lessons from 1 of its 6 in-house tutors priced at $58 for 55 minutes. While personalized classes would help you understand the material better, they come with a steep price tag.

If you’re a reluctant learner that’s seeking a fun way to pick up some new French words and phrases, then Duolingo is a good option.

Free version includes pop-up ads, whereas paid subscription for Super Duolingo ($12.99 a month) removes ads, allows users to test out of required levels, and more

• Quick and simple lessons
• Motivates you with gamification
• Repetitive exercises
• Lessons disconnected from real-world context

Duolingo’s easy accessibility and motivating game features have helped it become extremely popular among young and adult learners alike. By completing fill-in-the-blank exercises, multiple-choice questions, and flashcard activities every day, you can maintain streaks (consecutive days of studying), climb leaderboards, and achieve set learning targets.

Duolingo now offers live French lessons as well. Unfortunately, as you can only take classes that cover certain topics at set times, you don’t get to choose what subjects you learn about. This is why platforms that incorporate personalized learning are more effective.  

The French experiment is a French learning website that features short visual stories to sharpen your little ones’ listening skills.

• Visual and audio stories in French
• Features language learning guides
• Provides links to free educational tools
• Limited number of lessons
• No materials for intermediate or advanced learners

Are you finding it impossible to get your kids to study French? Well, The French Experiment’s audio stories, such as “Le Vilain Caneton” (“The Ugly Duckling”) and “Le Petit Chaperon Rouge” (“Little Red Riding Hood”) can help keep your children engaged.

Still, the website only has a few visual tales and grammar exercises available, so you’ll need to use other resources if you want your kids to make further progress.

Busuu’s bite-sized exercises are perfect for learners who want to learn French but struggle to find a spare moment to study.

Premium membership plans range from $5.95 to $13.99 a month, depending on subscription length and selected learning tools

• Feedback from native speakers
• Self-paced learning
• Quizzes to track progress
• Feedback from native speakers can be unclear
• Online speaking classes cost extra

This French learning site’s short fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice exercises and quick review quizzes are ideal for busy learners. The activities also incorporate videos of native speakers, so you hear the language in action.

But the platform isn’t right for you if you want more in-depth study time that lasts longer than a few minutes. Busuu also offers online speaking classes that cover set topics, yet this subscription plan charges more – up to $84.00 monthly for eight live sessions.

Pimsleur uses a “hands-free” approach to teach French learners the language through audio lessons that they can listen to while cooking dinner or driving to work.

Monthly subscriptions cost $20.95, whereas individual courses cost $150.00 for 1 level and $350.00 for all 3 levels

• Can learn French while doing other activities
• Features audio clips of native speakers
• Limited reading and writing exercises
• Slow-paced lessons

The Pimsleur French learning course exposes you to French vocabulary and grammar slowly and steadily through in-depth audio lessons that feature conversational exchanges and review sessions.

So if you want to immerse yourself in the language while relaxing in the garden or traveling, Pimsleur is one of the best websites to learn French. On the other hand, you must practice using the language with a speaking partner or tutor to actually improve your fluency.

More and more learners are going online to master new language skills. Here are just several of the advantages that virtual learning holds over traditional, in-person classes:

1. More convenient: Most online courses can adapt to your individual schedule and/or provide plenty of easily accessible self-study materials, allowing you to learn French whenever and wherever you want.

2. More cost-effective: You can find excellent learning materials, tools, and classes online, regardless of your budget. For instance, Preply even provides personalized 1-on-1 live lessons for as little as $10 an hour.

3. Ability to learn from native speakers: Although it may be challenging to find native French teachers in your hometown, many can be found online to teach you idioms, slang, and dialect features that you’d likely never see in a generic textbook.

4. More efficient: As e-learning platforms provide various educational tools and materials, they can be far more efficient than learning in traditional settings because they can provide immediate feedback and motivate you with gaming features.

5. Offers personalized learning: Many online language learning websites let you choose specific topics to study and use algorithms to target language skills that need improvement. In contrast, large in-person classes often use a one-size-fits-all approach and follow a fixed curriculum.

Luckily for you, there are plenty of quality websites that you can use to learn French. However, if you want to become fully competent in this beautiful language, taking 1-on-1 classes with an expert tutor – who can provide a personalized learning plan and individualized feedback – is the most efficient way to get there.

Do you like the sound of customized lessons given by qualified online French teachers? Then register with Preply today to connect with an experienced tutor who can move you past “bonjour” and onto fluent French conversations in no time!

French Resources

I know firsthand how hard it is to find quality French resources for teachers for your classroom. To make sure you can focus on teaching, I now work full time to make French curriculum for your proficiency centered French class – let’s dive in to these 11 great free teaching resources so you can start planning!

First Week of French 1 Lesson Plans

Love the song Mercy? Ready to teach about social justice in your classroom? Check out this free “Teach for Justice” unit from the TeachersPayTeachers collection. Not to mention it’s a full weeklong free French unit for Days 1-5 in your French class.

Free First Day Lesson Plans

Need ideas for first week lesson plans for French 1? I’ve got you covered. Check out my post here that outlines my entire first day of French 1 with comprehensible input – I used it for years and I know it will help you out!

French Culture Resources on Francophone Countries

This is a great digital French resource about one of my favorite Francophone leaders, Angelique Kidjo. I used this google forms activity to help evaluate and present a new perspective of African societies (especially how they are falsely portrayed in Western media) from the perspective of one of Benin’s cultural leaders and prominent social activist. Download this perceptions of Africa resource here to learn more about what Angelique Kidjo’s perspective is on the Western potrayal of African societies.

French Digital Resources

This digital interactive notebook is my favorite French resource for teachers busy during back to school time. It’s completely digital, self-paced, review-based, and perfect for students in French 2 who might be coming from all different types of situations with the crazy difficult pandemic school year. This allows French teachers to focus in on high frequency verbs and differentiation without compromising your time planning.

I used this next resource during the immediate needs of quarantine teaching for my French 2 class. We were doing a quick verb bootcamp to prepare them for their next teacher (who may or may not teach with comprehensible input – you never know, right?)

I made this resource for other teachers like me trying to figure out how to remotely assess students and based it on French -ER verbs. Grab yours here! It includes a practice quiz and a google forms quiz using the same format, with as much of a proficiency-centered format as I could muster while teaching explicit grammar.

French Resources for Proficiency

It’s especially hard to find French resources for proficiency-oriented instruction. Don’t worry, I’ve got your back. Here’s my favorite freebie for back to school to get started with special person interviews – a set of posters, activity and quiz set so that nothing is holding you back from this groundbreaking community builder!

This free French classroom game is a great speaking and listening resource for reinforcing high frequency verbs and objects around the house! Grab the J’ai, Qui a Free House Game here.

Fun French Resources!

Not gonna lie, this is low-key one of my favorite French resources that I offer for free. It’s a homework pass with a ton of personality! Use the best refrain in French music – “Je ne regrette rien” to add some humor to the days when homework or other assignments just aren’t in the books. Grab the free homework passes here.

French Resources for the Holidays

If you’re catching this post around holiday time, (or earlier, no shame in your game!) then grab this free writing activity for Christmas in your French class.

Free PD for French Teachers

Finally, we have the best French resource for teachers out there — free professional development!

Come join me every Wednesday on Facebook for a LIVE PD class on all things world language. There’s often French-specific classes like the ones below:

Watch the class here on how to map out your French 1 curriculum

Finally, we have the last free resource for French teachers – this blog has many posts for you with professional development, lesson ideas, and demo lessons. Check out the one below for lessons to highlight Black Francophone leaders in your French class:

Finally I have something amazing for you. Have you ever wondered how to transition to proficiency in your French class? Download this free toolkit below for my 9-step roadmap to proficiency.

I’m so glad to meet you French teacher! I can’t wait to see what the school year holds for you. Keep in touch on instagram at @lalibrelanguagelearning and I hope to catch you on a live class on facebook next Wednesday!
