French by Nemo
authentic ratingAn audio dictionary with a hands-free mode that builds pronunciation and a basic lexicon passively, but it does not teach grammar and the vocabulary range is limited even in the full version.

About the rating
storeAvg 4.71, textAvg 4.51, 82% five-stars across 235 reviews. Small gap. Reviews are substantive: they describe specific modes (hands-free, audio speed), real French progress over specific timeframes. Criticism is concrete: too few words in the full version, no feature explanations, opaque microphone feedback.
Strengths
What users love
- The hands-free mode lets you listen to words and phrases while moving or working. Playback speed adjusts smoothly
- And repeated listening at a controlled pace produces a noticeable memorization effect.
Weak spots
What users hate
- No grammar
- No dialogue practice
- And no example sentences in context. Microphone feedback is opaque: it is unclear whether your pronunciation is correct. The full version contains around 1
- 300 words with no level progression.
Who it is for
Tourists or complete beginners who need to learn a few hundred French words with correct pronunciation before a trip or as a first exposure to the language.
