Pros and cons of French Class app for iPhone and iPad
French Class app good for
Im quite impressed. Explains French grammar in easy words. Covers all important topics. Vocabulary, grammar, verbs, tenses... Its all there. Plus a multitude of exercises. Tres, tres bien, merci!
I enjoy and find it helpful. I would give it a much higher rating if you would explain errors after the fact, change the font to something more pleasant to the eye; your font is somewhat distracting. for errors in verbs a link to conjugation page to force review of problematic verb tenses. Please update and good work. The best french intermediate and advanced learning tool. Ive tried them all!
It is a great learning tool to consider it learning and exploring the foreign language.
Excellent learning app. Well worth the time and little bit of money to upgrade.
I really like it since it is one of the few grammar apps on iPhone ( not simply dictionary or translation app) but the grammar section should be a bit expanded!
Some bad moments
Very helpful. Thanks a lot for making this app; I like testing my knowledge and memory of French. A lot more useful than random, out-of-context vocal words in a list. Thanks!
This is a decent ap. I like that it has grammar quizzes as well as vocab and conjugation. But I dont understand why the verb reference and quizzes have preterite and not passé compose? In 4 years studying French, Ive never had to use preterite, but passé compose is very common and there are some tricky conjugations.
Overall a worthy app. Especially at the price. The audio is good feature although sometimes too fast and often robotic sounding. Wish irregular verb tenses were audible The quiz format while adequate is not necessarily the most engaging or learning optimized- would be interested in seeing it augmented by more interactive and varied game mechanics ala mind snacks( in contrast a very good game system but shallow in scope with no real grammar training and a very limited touristy vocabulary. ). There are typos and mistakes here and there but all in all the program is very thorough and basically covers 2 -4 semesters of a college language course. Considering its price, it should save you a few thousand bones and hours.
For the most part I like the app. It has a list of vocabulary words each with the audio. The audio is good although can be sometimes a bit fast. There is also a list of verbs and a list of common basic phases essential to someone who is planning a trip to France. There are grammar rules and tests just to give you the nuts and bolts to start with. Overall its a great app but would like to see pictures with each word in the vocabulary. Maybe add more to really help the learner to engage more of their senses such as to read it, write it, see it, hear it, say it, then repeat it. Oh, and dont forget to review, review, review.
Decent beginner/intermediate French review. I like the quizzes, but utterly hate the bimbo buxom Barbie French teacher cartoon youre forced to look at. Please cant I have the option to change the background?? If it werent so stupid, Id say the creators were rather sexist. Get real - not all French students are hormone-driven teenage boys...
This app is a very handy and compact summary of French grammar and vocab. Great for people who already know a bit of French but need to brush up on selected aspects of the language.
