Madeleine: Learn French

The most common words and phrases French people actually use, written and spoken, learned together. Each one comes back right before you'd forget it.

Build a stronger foundation in French.

Madeleine teaches the most common words and phrases French people actually use — written and spoken, learned together. Each one comes back right before you'd forget it.

THE WORDS THAT MATTER About a thousand of the most common words, plus hundreds of everyday phrases — not textbook French, and ordered by how often you'll actually hear them. The course is finite. You can finish it.

WRITTEN AND SPOKEN, TOGETHER Every card pairs the written word with lifelike native audio, so you learn to read it and catch it by ear at the same time. Four native voices — pick the one you want in your head.

IT KNOWS WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO FORGET Every review teaches Madeleine how your memory behaves: solid words stretch further apart, shaky ones come back sooner. A few quiet minutes a day is enough.

MAKES YOUR LESSONS COUNT Madeleine skips grammar drills on purpose — grammar and conversation are what tutors, classes, and time in France are for. Arrive already knowing the words, and those hours go further.

ONLY FRENCH No menu of thirty languages spread thin. One language, one carefully built curriculum, with audio and content made only for it.

CALM AND PRIVATE No streaks, no points, no leaderboards, no guilt. No account and no server — your progress stays on your iPhone. Home-screen widgets keep it close: today's practice and a French word of the day, a glance away.

Madeleine is a paid app with no ads, no data harvesting, and no dark patterns. There's no free trial — if it's not for you, Apple's refund process has you covered.

Learn French that's still there next year.
