Practice Queue

This is the Spotify-style practice system. Queue any phrase from anywhere. It appears at the bottom of the page.

  • + Queue adds a phrase.
  • 🔊 plays the French using your browser’s speech engine.
  • ↑ / ↓ moves a phrase in the queue.
  • × deletes it.
  • Play all speaks the whole queue with pauses.

Pronunciation note: this uses the Web Speech API. It should work in Chrome/Safari when a French voice is available. The file is still offline; no audio files are embedded yet. If a phrase consistently sounds weird, mark it mentally as one we should replace later with custom audio.
