The Method
Start with what matters most
Vocabulary ranked by real frequency from 65 million words of French films and novels. The highest-impact words first, for both speaking and reading.
Real content you choose
Dialogues on topics you pick. Classic French novels. Words always in natural sentences, never flashcards, never isolation.
Extreme repetition
Infants hear millions of words before speaking. Spaced repetition, review mode, and exposure tracking build the same deep patterns in adults.
Real-time feedback
Speech recognition scores every attempt. Fluency metrics, coverage tracking, and word-level mastery so you see exactly where you stand.
The Pareto Principle
130,000+ unique words drawn from 9,400+ films and 200+ novels totaling 65 million words of real French, yet a tiny fraction drives nearly all communication.
The first 65 words account for half of all French you'll ever hear or read.
