At last an app for intermediate to advanced French learners which will help you sound like a native speaker! Figure out French Expressions Volume 1 is fun and educational. You won?t learn this in school!
Lots of apps for language learning concentrate on boring old flash cards, grammar and verb tables. Not this app! It is interactive and fun! Learn up to 500 figurative French expressions and tricky turns of phrases which often trip up learners. Become more confident in the use of expressions on the topics of eating out; alcohol and parties; sex, love and friendship; appearance; sport and games; health and happiness.
Each expression is put into context in a sentence which is translated into English. The illustrations will make the phrases more memorable and will make you smile. You will learn how the expressions are used in films, book titles and songs, and maybe a little about how they came about. Anything that might aid understanding and jog your memory!
When you think you know all the expressions in one of the 18 lessons, go to the multiple choice quiz for that section and test yourself. You get 20 questions and you are allowed only two mistakes or you lose the round. It?s great fun and quite addictive! For the super challenge for the experts, try the random test and see if you know the expressions from every category.
There?s a huge amount of content in this app but it is neatly packaged into 18 short, manageable lessons. You?ll want to use it for a long time!
?A shrewd idea, made particularly user-friendly by the visuals? nicely pitched for an undergraduate market?
