How to use this

Tap a tab up top to move around. Everything works with no internet - keep it open on the plane. Use the search box in the Verb Atlas, Chunk Library and Mattisms to find things fast. Tap any verb or topic to open it up. The A buttons resize the text.

Verb Atlas

40 verbs for getting around

Each one shows the present (je, tu, nous, vous), plus how to say it in the past and the near future - all from je, so you can talk about yourself straight away.

Chunk Library

Phrases you can reuse everywhere

These are little building blocks. Learn the chunk, then slot in your own ending. Half of fluent-sounding French is just reusing these.

Story Builder

Your one-minute story

The same day told three ways. Read it out loud once a day - it builds the rhythm so the words come without thinking.

Follow-up question practice

When you finish your story, people ask things back. Here are the likely ones, with an answer ready to go.
