Français Fast is a Canadian French app built for your real life — commutes, walks, runs, and gym sessions. No subscription. No ads. No account. No internet required. Just French, flowing into your ears, and out of your mouth.
THREE SKILLS. ONE APP.
Repeat — hear it, say it back
The app speaks a French sentence, with the English translation on screen. Repeat it aloud and the app scores your pronunciation — that's what actually moves your progress forward; listening alone is still great practice, it just isn't scored. Use it with your screen off: audio keeps playing, lock screen controls let you skip or pause without unlocking your phone, and with headphones in the app can still hear your spoken repeat-back, hands-free.
Spell — type what you hear
Hear a French word in a sentence, then type it on a built-in keyboard with every accent French demands. The app grades your spelling letter by letter, showing exactly which letters landed and which didn't. Accents count.
Read — say it, hear yourself back
Read a French sentence aloud and get a word-by-word pronunciation score. Play back your own recording after each attempt and compare it with the correct pronunciation.
SPACED REPETITION THAT WATCHES WHAT YOU FIND HARD
Every word you meet is tracked across all three skills and scheduled to return just before you would have forgotten it. Words you nail come back less often; words you stumble on come back sooner. New vocabulary is introduced gradually, so you're always working at the edge of what you know instead of recycling the same twenty sentences.
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE PRACTISING
Tap ⓘ in the session bar to see the session's focus words with their scores, the grammar at play (tense, mood, person, gender), and how well you know it overall. Adjust any word's rating yourself, or skip the session if the topic isn't right for you today.
BUILT FOR HANDS-FREE LEARNING
- Screen-off audio continues uninterrupted
- Lock screen Now Playing controls: skip, pause, resume
- Spoken repeat-back means no typing during Repeat
- With headphones in, a walk, run, or drive can be real, scored practice — not just review
YOUR PROGRESS, ON ALL YOUR DEVICES
Signed in to iCloud? Your progress and a few preferences sync between your own iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud account. There's no Kishkay server and no account to create — we never see your data. It's optional, and one switch in Settings turns it off.
HONEST PRICING. NO TRICKS.
Buy the app once for $4.99 — the full A1 level is included. Unlock higher CEFR levels as you're ready, each a one-time purchase you keep forever, or unlock A2 through C2 at once with the bundle. No subscription. No renewal. No advertising. No data harvesting.

DESIGNED LIKE A STUDY GUIDE, NOT A GAME
No streak flames, no mascots, no confetti. Standard iOS controls throughout, and CEFR levels from the same framework language schools actually use. The explanatory ⓘ hints can be hidden (they are by default), while word and sentence translations always stay where you'd expect them.
Français Fast doesn't try to entertain you. It tries to teach you French. If you put in the time, it will work.
