Bonjour! Ca va? If these words are just gobbledygook to you, this free iPhone app can help. Alternatively if your French skills are a little bit rusty because you haven't spoken a word of Français since you were at school, this app could help you brush up your linguistic skills.
This app isn't just another language learning program that barks words at you. Instead, it uses a mix of multiple-choice questions, puzzles standard 'write in'tests and flash cards to get the vocabulary to stick in your head. Audio is also used to great effect to find out how the word is pronounced rather than having to try and decipher precisely what all those accents mean.
The tutorials are broken down into categories so you can target your learning to the scenarios you're most likely to encounter, such as home and family, town and country and basic phrases.
The puzzles in particular are handy and not at all patronising - making them an ideal learning companion for adults and children alike. And the little red unhappy and green happy faces that appear when you input your answers make it an even more compelling way of learning a new language.
