Built for the job you're hiring it for

You're not here for a word game. You're here for a certificate, a residence permit, or a real conversation. Every feature below exists for one of those.

Live conversation club

Your first real conversation is scarier than any exam. Train for it live. Every session comes with a prep pack: the key words, ready-made sentences, and the grammar you'll actually use. Then you talk it through with real people. Included with Annual, per session for monthly members.

Native-speaker audio & shadowing

Understand French at the speed French people speak it. Real dialogues with full transcripts. Shadow line by line until your ear and your accent catch up.

DELF exam prep

Walk into the official exam already knowing the format. DELF-style quizzes run through every level from A1 to C1, so exam day feels like just another lesson.

Examen civique prep

Your papers should not hinge on a surprise question. Train in the exact 2026 format: 333 explained questions across the 5 official themes, for naturalisation and residence permits.

The frequency method

The 1,000 most frequent words cover most of everyday French. You learn them first. That's how you get understood in weeks, not years.

Spaced repetition that works

Never re-learn the same word twice. SM-2 resurfaces each word right before you forget it. You just show up. The algorithm does the planning.

How it works

01

Start where you are

Complete beginner? Start from zero. Already know some French? A short placement test drops you exactly where you belong. No wasted weeks.

02

Learn what you'll actually use

7,000+ words in the order French people say them, grammar that builds sentence by sentence, and native audio. All in one place, 20 minutes a day.

03

Remember without trying

The SM-2 algorithm resurfaces each word just before you forget it. Lasting memory for the price of a few minutes of review a day.

Everything in one place

01

Frequency-first vocabulary

7,000+ words ranked by real-world usage. The words you'll need at the préfecture, the bakery, and work come first.

02

Progressive grammar lessons

From the alphabet to literary French: every lesson builds on the last with bilingual explanations, exercises, and inline conjugation tables.

03

Spaced repetition (SM-2)

The proven algorithm schedules every word at the precise moment before forgetting, maximising retention with minimum study time.

04

Native-speaker audio & shadowing

Real dialogues with full transcripts. Shadow sentence by sentence to build your French accent and ear.

05

Never guess a conjugation again

Look up any French verb and get full conjugation tables across all tenses and moods, with audio for every form.

06

Skip what you already know

Not a complete beginner? A short adaptive test assesses your level and places you at the right starting point automatically.

07

Progress & streak tracking

Daily streak, activity heatmap, level completion bars, and a personal notebook to save any word or phrase.

Study smarter,
not harder.

Every card shows the word, IPA pronunciation, and meaning. Rate your recall and the algorithm handles the rest.

Common questions

What do I get on the free plan?
The first 3 A1 lessons, the 200 most common French words with spaced repetition, the placement test, and the verb conjugator. No credit card required, no time limit.
I already know some French. Do I have to start from scratch?
No. Take the adaptive placement test on your first login. It assesses your level in a few minutes and sets your starting point automatically. You skip content you already know.
What is DELF A1?
DELF A1 is the entry-level French proficiency exam recognized by the French Ministry of Education. It tests basic everyday French: greetings, simple questions, short written and spoken exchanges. Fréquence includes DELF-style quizzes throughout the course to prepare you for it.
What is the best way to learn French before moving to France?
Focus on the vocabulary you'll actually use daily, not textbook filler, plus enough grammar to form real sentences and enough listening practice to understand native speed. Fréquence's frequency-ranked words and native audio are built for exactly this.
How long does it take to learn French?
Most learners reach conversational B2 level in 10 to 12 months of consistent daily study, about 20 to 30 minutes a day. Fréquence's frequency-ranked vocabulary and spaced repetition are designed to get there efficiently.
Does Fréquence work for complete beginners?
Yes. Fréquence starts from absolute zero with the Fondations unit: the French alphabet, basic pronunciation, and the 200 most common words. No prior French knowledge is required.
Why is the annual plan the best choice?
At €12.42/month it costs less than one private tutoring hour. Most learners reach B2 in 10 to 12 months of consistent daily study. One year is exactly what you need.
What happens when the 200 founding spots are gone?
The Founding Lifetime plan closes permanently. No second round, no waiting list. It exists to reward early believers. Once those 200 people have claimed it, it's gone.
Do you prepare for the examen civique (2026)?
Yes. Fréquence includes a full examen civique preparation in the official 2026 format: 40 questions, 45 minutes, 80% to pass. The bank holds 333 questions with explained answers across the 5 official themes, plus a timed mock exam. It covers naturalisation as well as the carte de résident (CR) and carte de séjour pluriannuelle (CSP).
Is the civique content based on official sources?
Yes. Every question is written from the Livret du citoyen (Ministère de l'Intérieur) and the official knowledge-question lists (CR and CSP), covering valeurs de la République, institutions, droits et devoirs, histoire et géographie, and vie en société.
Can I practise speaking with real people?
Yes. The live conversation club lets you practise speaking with real people in guided group sessions. It's the part apps can't replace.
Is this better than Duolingo or Anki?
Fréquence replaces both: structured grammar and listening lessons (Duolingo can't do this) plus the proven SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm (Anki without the configuration pain). One coherent path, A0 to C1.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. Every paid plan comes with a 3-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason, you'll receive a full refund. No questions asked.
Ramisa & Emilien

Built by someone who lived the problem

Hi, I'm Ramisa, a software engineer who moved to France in 2023. Every French course I found was either a game that taught nothing, or a class that cost everything.

Emilien, my French husband, watched me struggle daily with words no French person actually uses. So we made a deal: he brings the real French, I bring the technology.

Months later, Fréquence is the result: complete, structured, and priced for learners, not for luxury.

The exam. The papers.
The conversation.

One app gets you to all three. 20 to 30 minutes a day is the whole method. Most learners reach B2 in about a year. Start free today.
