How it works

  • Pick a scene: Choose the moment you are dreading next, from the coffee machine to the pot de départ.
  • Speak it out loud: An AI character talks to you in French in your browser, and you answer with your voice.
  • Hear how it went: Feedback comes with the monthly plan, on every scene.

Sample

  1. Camille

    Salut ! Ça va ? T’as passé un bon week-end ?

    Hi! How are you? Did you have a good weekend?

  2. You, out loud

    Oui, très bien. On a fait une balade au bord de la Seine.

    Yes, very good. We went for a walk along the Seine.

  3. Camille

    Ah, sympa ! Il faisait beau en plus. Tu prends un café ?

    Nice! The weather was good too. Having a coffee?

  4. You, out loud

    Oui, merci. Et toi, tu as fait quoi ?

    Yes, thanks. And you, what did you do?

  5. Camille

    Pas grand-chose, j’ai dormi, honnêtement. Ça fait du bien !

    Not much, I slept, honestly. It feels good!
