Progress: what you can do in French, per-level progress bars, and a Solid Words gauge

Progress

What's inside

Content built for adults who mean it.

Real range and correct production, gated to your level, not beginner novelty on a loop.

Curriculum

Curated content, real breadth.

Vocabulary in context, verbs across tenses where adults actually trip, and situational language for the restaurant, doctor, directions, and small talk.
CEFR A0 to C1, with a placement test so experienced learners skip the beginner ramp.
Content opens to your level, and a short reading checkpoint earns the next one. Real comprehension, not a card count.
Reading & listening

Real language, not just cards.

Reading moments mid-session: a short passage, a question, and a Listen button for read-along audio.
Graded stories written from the words you already own, so real reading feels close early.
Train your ear: hear it before you see it, then read along. Listening reviews test meaning, not spelling.
Talk & speak

Where it all comes together.

Open conversation (Plus): by voice or text, with a partner who speaks only in the words you know and never scores you.
Guided dialogues: structured back-and-forth with typed replies for ordering, directions, and small talk.
Say it aloud: an optional mic check on new words. Gentle coaching, never a score.
Reviews

The right exercise for each word.

Cards climb from multiple choice to typed production as they mature. Conjugation, cloze, and unscramble train tense, grammar, and word order.
Every card can speak, in a natural-sounding premium voice.
Corrections tell a typo from a missed accent and rate you automatically. Widgets and reminders stay kind, never guilt about a streak.
Yours

A real record, and it stays yours.

No badges, no XP, no streak to protect. Just progress that counts, and data that never leaves your control.

Recognition

A record, not a scoreboard.

Milestones that mean something: words you can produce, a whole tense mastered, a level reached, your first story, your first conversation.
Nothing expires. Every milestone keeps its date, and none of it decays, resets, or can be taken away.
No leaderboards, no percentiles, no streak memorials. Coming back after a break is recognised, never scolded.
Ownership

Private, portable, offline.

Native on iPhone and iPad with SwiftUI, on-device by default, so reviews work on a flight or underground.
Full JSON export and import: your learning data moves cleanly, never trapped.
Syncs privately through your iCloud. No ads, no third-party tracking, no analytics SDKs.
