Learn French for free, one word a day
Lingava teaches French little by little. Each day you flip one letter card and learn one useful word in a real sentence, with a translation in English.
Free on iPhone and Android. No in-app purchases.
Apple Watch and Wear OS apps are coming soon.
Learn French letters and sounds, one card at a time
You get a card for every letter, accents like é and ç, and sounds like ou, eu and oi. Each card shows the letter, its sound and an example word with its meaning in English.

A new French word every day
The word of the day comes with its meaning in English. Then you see it highlighted in an example sentence, so you learn how it is really used.
One sound, many spellings
In French, several letters often make one sound, like ou or an. Lingava gives these sounds their own cards, so spelling starts to make sense.
Related words come on days in a row, so a set like greetings, question words or the days of the week is learned together. Here are a few you will meet:
| bonjour | hello | |
| au revoir | goodbye | |
| merci | thank you | |
| s'il vous plaît | please | |
| pardon | sorry | |
| bienvenue | welcome | |
| qu'est-ce que | what | |
| qui | who | |
| où | where | |
| quand | when | |
| pourquoi | why |
