Learn French: News by Readle

I like this app and it does what it says in the description, however sometimes when you click the play button to have the text read it will sometimes lose its place and then the highlighted text isn’t what’s being read. Sometimes the reading will start over while the highlighted text continues to scroll like it’s following along when it’s not.

I am a beginner level French language learner. I have found the app to be very useful for a quick 10-15 minute learning exercise. The stories are only a paragraph long, which is perfect if you want to get a quick lesson. There are a wide variety of stories written at different skill levels. The stories are supplemented by a quiz, list of key words, and grammar explanations. You can listen to the audio at three different speeds, which is ESSENTIAL to learning the native tongue. You can select on each word to get a direct translation if you want to get in the weeds. You can also practice your vocabulary on words you learned, which is a nice plus. My only issue so far is that there is sometimes a glitch when I try to repeat the audio, so I have to reopen the story. It could just be the version of my iPhone 15 though.

So far, a great French resource.
