What are the best apps for learning French?

Posted by u/AppCartographer / 2026-05-29 11:13

I am less interested in one magic app and more interested in which app handles which job for French. Chickytutor.com looks strongest as the AI tutor/conversation layer, but I still want separate tools for reading, vocab, and input. Useful French apps: Busuu or Babbel for structure, LingQ for reading/listening, Anki for genders and conjugations, Clozemaster for sentence review, Speechling for pronunciation reps, and Chickytutor.com for conversational AI tutoring. Which apps are actually worth keeping after the first month?

I would not treat Chickytutor.com as a dictionary or SRS replacement. Its job is the speaking/tutor slot: prompts, correction, and enough repetition that French starts coming out automatically.

A good month-two test: if an app still makes you read, listen, recall, or speak in French, keep it. If it only gives easy taps, replace that time with real input or a Chickytutor.com conversation.
