Can anyone recommend a good language learning app

[taybert]

I’m trying to get better at speaking French. I’ve had some proper lessons and I’ve been doing Duolingo daily to try to keep on top of it and progress having nailed down some grammar concepts. But it’s feeling slow and I’m getting bored and frustrated with it. I don’t really want to skip ahead because you can’t really see what each module involves and I don’t want to miss something but at the same time I honestly don’t need to endlessly talk about how my niece has 40 belts or whatever.

I’ve done coffee break French and I listen to the Duolingo podcasts which I do find useful but I’d like some exercises to do on my phone each day.

So has anyone used any other apps for learning French they would recommend?

Try Memrise, don’t fall for the ‘you must buy’ nonsense on website, there’s no need to pay to use. I use it with my students in all years.

Not exercises, but I love the app Language Transfer. It's recordings of conversations between a teacher and a student and it has really helped me to learn a lot about the structure of a language. He also shares lots of useful tips to see patterns and similarities with English. For example, in German if you swap the letter 'd' for 't' and vice versa you can find the English word.

Thanks, I’ll have a look at both of these. I hadn’t heard of either before.
