French speaking practice with an AI coach (Early Access)

French in WitSpeak is in Early Access: it works today and improves every week. You can talk freely in French with Mia or Alex, rehearse everyday situations such as ordering at a café or booking a hotel room, and take beginner lessons with a pronunciation score. Feedback on each answer is explained in your own language, and levels run from A1 to C1.

What Early Access means

Early Access means French is open to everyone in the app, but it is newer than English and Spanish. The lessons and conversations are still being refined every week. Expect the occasional rough edge, and tell us about it through support: that feedback decides what we fix next.

French follows the language of France. There is no Canadian French option yet.

What you can practice in French

  • Free Talk and Daily Talk: an open conversation in French with Mia or Alex on any topic you choose.
  • Roleplay: adult, real-life scenarios in French, from ordering at a café to meeting a new colleague.
  • Beginner course: short A1 lessons with a pronunciation score on what you say.
  • Feedback in your language: every correction is explained in your own language.
  • Levels: separate conversation levels from A1 to C1 for French.

Roleplays to try first in French

Every adult roleplay can run in French. These everyday ones are a good start:

    Order a coffee and a croissant, ask for the bill and say thank you the French way.

  • Checking into a hotel

    In-app title: Hotel Check-in

    Confirm your booking, ask about breakfast and report a problem with the room.

  • Buying a train ticket

    In-app title: Buying a Train Ticket

    Ask for a return ticket, a time and a platform, and understand the answer.

  • At the doctor

    In-app title: At the Doctor

    Describe how you feel and follow the doctor's questions.

  • Small talk at a party

    In-app title: Small Talk at a Party

    Introduce yourself, ask what people do and keep the conversation going.

  • Meeting a new colleague

    In-app title: Meeting a New Colleague

    Introduce your role and choose between tu and vous.

Speaking French, not just reading it

French is a language where the written word and the spoken word drift apart: final letters go silent, words join together and nasal vowels have no clear equivalent in many languages. That is why practice has to be out loud. Our guide to French liaison and nasal vowels explains the two habits that make spoken French sound French.

What stays English-only

These WitSpeak modes are built only for English and do not run in French: IELTS-style speaking practice, Rapid Fire, Flow and audiobooks, shadowing videos, the phoneme coach and WitSpeak Kidz.
