A course that teaches, not a game that nags
Understood In teaches you French the way a good course does, with the parts that make it stick.
Grammar, explained
Every lesson starts with a real explanation — passé composé or imparfait, être or avoir, the subjunctive — with examples you can play out loud.
Speak from day one
Say each sentence out loud; your phone's speech recognition checks you and shows what it heard. Skip any time.
Type it, don't tap it
Typed answers with an accent bar for é, è, ç and the rest, word-bank building, listening dictation, fill-in-the-blank and matching.
Smart Review
Spaced repetition resurfaces every word you have learned right before you would forget it, plus a Daily Workout of due words and your misses.
Stories, dialogues & conversations
Graded readers with tap-a-word meanings and audio, two-voice dialogues, and conversations where every reply is a choice with feedback.
Parallel Stories
Six classic tales — Perrault, Daudet, Maupassant, Anatole France, Voltaire, Baudelaire — in the original French beside a translation in your language.
Conjugation Gym
Full tables for 84 verbs across seven tenses, with audio, drills by tense and Fill the chart.
Taught in your language
Explained in the language you choose — 33 languages. Every level in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian and Polish; A1 and A2 so far in the other 24, with more coming.
The entire course, A1 to C2, free
No hearts, no energy, no paywalled lessons. Mistakes come back at the end of the lesson until you get them — you are never locked out for trying.
