Merci Dylane ! I’ve subscribed to Babbel and Memrise, and agree with your comments for both. I’ve never tried LingoPie, but it sounds interesting since my goal is to watch French TV and movies without subtitles. My other goal is to learn real spoken French, the way French people actually speak to friends and family, rather than « school French » or written French. So, with the exception of LingoPie, I think there is so much free content on CZcams that the other apps are not really worth the money. The main disadvantage that I have found with CZcams free content is that there is usually not any guidance on how to structure the videos…that is, what order is best to watch them for a more logical learning experience. Thank you for your videos and for these reviews !
I personally use Rosetta Stone in conjunction with French grammar books as well as watching your videos to help break down different concepts. I watch all of my tv shows in French and have my phone set in French. I like the immersion method. It really helps me to speak naturally. But I also use French grammar workbooks on the side as well as watching your videos. My goal is to read, speak, listen, and write fluently in French and I feel that the combination of Rosetta Stone plus studying my grammar books as well as watching your videos and watching tv in French has really advanced my French quite a bit! A year ago I could barely understand spoken French but now I can have a tv show or movie in French playing in the background at normal speed and still understand 80%-90% of what has been said. My ear is now very trained to the sounds of French. 🎉
Leland this is amazing! You can be proud of yourself 😍 Feel free to share what you are watching. People always ask about it :) I also have a video about 10 movies to watch so I would love to know :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane So I watch a lot of science fiction and fantasy tv shows and movies. I like witches, werewolves, and vampires! So, I watch stuff like that which most people don’t like 😂
For me nothing can compare to the videos done (and also podcasts done) by such great French teachers online, starting with you Dylane, and many others that can easily be discovered. I follow their videos, and of course you can then choose to buy the programs they offer (like I have done with your books!). I'm on German now, my 3rd language, and I have learned so much from my own mistakes in previous language learning, like wasting a year in Spanish and not being able to speak at all at the end of that (I was using a program similar to Babbel, which is indeed great but you can't just use that, it has to be supplemented with your own readings, videos, language partners, etc). I agree that many of these apps are very good, especially for A1 - B1/2, I'm just working through the mysteries of basic German grammar (mon dieu) with Babbel and Busuu now (and like 5 minutes of DuoLingo every day just to warm up), but ultimately there is no substitute for extended listening and interaction with others. à bientôt Beefy !
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Je suis sûr que tu peux apprendre l'allemand, puisque tu maîtrises parfaitement l'anglais, mais tu n'as pas eu la motivation nécessaire.

@@ildikokiraly7661 I find things that I like to do, involving reading/listening/speaking, and I do them, consistently, a little bit every day. The exact exercise doesn't matter; what does matter is doing something productive and interesting to you every day. IF it's not interesting to you, stop doing it, find something else.
For the last 3 years I had french in school, but sadly my teacher really ruined the language for me. So for the next year I didn't want to be in her class, but i still want to learn a new language. I hope there will be an app for me. I'll try a few ones! Thank you for reviewing them.
Thanks for the breakdown of the different apps available, the choices today are quite vast. I think the most important thing from my own perspective is to find maybe two or three apps that you like and get on with the task of learning the language. In the early days, I wasted far too much time checking every new app that came along, hoping for a silver bullet that would do away with having to do the work of learning the language. You are a great teacher and you always go the extra mile/kilometer to offer value for money, so many thanks, I wish you well.
Very helpful Dylane. Thank you for doing all the research. I use Pimsleur as it helps with listening, pronunciation, and "producing" - just getting the words out in a useful sentence, but I supplement it with other materials - and your online videos, of course. The spaced repetition aspect of Pimsleur is great!
I use Pimsleur. It works for me with one small detail. In my opinion it works best while taking group or private French lessons. Pimsleur is more meaningful-and easier, too this way. They augment each other well especially if you can conjugate some common verbs and talk French to a human. Whatever app you like, hook up with a qualified French teacher and make your journey easier.
I have both Lingo Pie and Memrise. I like both a lot. I like Lingo Pie for all of the reasons you stated, Dylane. For Memrise, I like that I can scroll and select tenses, words, phrases etc, specific to certain subjects. And I can do this without needing to complete ALL courses on one level before exploring a different level. I also like it because I hear the same phrase from different native speakers, and it makes a difference for us learners. I also like that it bounces from audio to written phrases to test the user. I am a little concerned that you found errors, but I like the videos in "Learn with Locals" best. In theory, those video clips are okay, even if they don't say the exact words written sometimes--like "chui" instead of "je suis." I find that okay because I expect it. But that's just me. I realize French-speaking natives shorten, clip, and truncate as we do in English.
Your generous attitude and nature is much appreciated. From the videos that I've watched, I always get the feeling that I agree with your philosophy and quality of lessons. Thanks much! 👍
I used a combination of Memrise and Coffee Break French, and if I had it to do over again I wouldn't change a thing. The videos where you haven't already reviewed all the vocabulary were a real advantage in training myself to listen for the main idea. The speed review in Memrise helped me get past constantly hesitating, because when I was trying to go quickly instead of second-guessing myself, I found I was usually right and it was a huge boost to my confidence. I also liked being able to continue after finishing the official courses by using the community-created courses, I am currently on courses that are French only (no English), including one for advanced medical terminology. Those can be used while doing the official courses, such as one that was a French-French course on memorizing world capitals.
Thanks for these reviews. Very handy. Maybe a good idea for a video would be for you to see how accurate Google Translate is when translating from English to French with some example sentences, especially some tricky ones.
Great video, you always put out great content,I think there are a lot of language learning apps out there, and it is very hard to choose one, I have subscribed to quite a few and haven't really settled on one, which is why I am not well advanced in my learning. Anyway thanks for the video.
I enjoyed this. If Lingopie gets a few good (French) series I really want to see, that might tempt me. The challenge is working out what I really need to learn, revise and to entertain to me.
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane I am really awaiting season 2 onwards of Franco/Belgian TV series Astrid et Raphaëlle - I loved season 1 but learnt very little French to be honest (as subtitled in English on TV) - and the French series HPI.
Hi Dylan’s, that was a great video I’m always trying and paying for different apps. I’ve bought all your books and need to start watching your videos. No more apps, you’re right about Duolingo I rush through it to complete my daily tasks (5yrs)
Oh, I want to add one more thing--as if it wasn't lengthy enough😀, while watching and surfing Lingo Pie shows, I learned some adult phrases in a few of the series, like Hotel Formidable, that I never, ever would hear on Memrise or on CZcams! Winning!
Every now and then I look at other French language programs, but as a lifelong educator (officially retired, but still offering my services), Dylane will always be my recommend instructor.
Merci! Cette vidéo m'a fait gagner du temps en n'essayant pas ou en n'installant pas toutes ces applications pour pratiquer le français. Tu es le meilleur. 🤩
Merci! I really appreciate hearing the opinions of these apps from a native speaker. Also, since you asked, the pronuciation of Babbel en anglais would be more like babbul, if that makes sense. 🙂 Like a short u sound in English.
One reason I really liked Busuu (at first) is one of your cons: At the A1 level there is a lot of repetition, and there is also a review after every several lessons (every 5, if I remember correctly). But after A1, the repetition and lesson reviews mainly go away. The assumption seems to be if you've seen something once, you never need to study it again. That's not how I learn. After A1, I began encountering more and more mistakes in their modules. It seems their quality control procedure is to wait for their customers to point these out. Their language exchange can be helpful and annoying. If you log in for even a split second, Busuu immediately asks you to correct the submissions of someone who is studying your native language. So each time you sit down, for instance, to study French, the app is asking you to review someone's English. Now that I'm somewhere around B1 in French, it would be nice to find an app that is rich in content (sorry, Duolingo) and would allow me to easily skip to that level. Most apps aren't designed that way. At least, none that I've tried have come close to your ever-expanding content. Another book coming.-- how do you do it?
Daniel I didn't know that the repetition goes away. That's weird that they would change it like that. Bizarre Bizarre! If I find an app like that for B1 I will let you know. Most of them are targeted toward beginners. The new book is a lighter one, not like the grammar course :)
Personally, I use Babbel and busuu as a form of review of what I learn from your videos and books and to learn a few words here and then, but I think you can't achieve fluency with any of those language learning apps. Because you have to talk to natives of the target language. I'm fortunate enough to have a friend from côte d'ivore who i practice my french with. Having said that, those apps are good to supplement your studies with diversity only.
I used Duolingo for well over 1000 days straight. It was an app that did not actually teach me but reviewed what I had learned. What I disliked about it and why I finally stopped was the sentences were ridiculous. I do not need to speak about cows in the bathroom or dinosaurs whatever. I have not practiced French at all though since stopping with that app. It is time to start again with something.
Actually, the app I was thinking about purchasing is 'Speakly', but I see it's not in the list that you reviewed. I will have to keep searching. Thanks.
I admit that I have used Duolingo for several years and for multiple languages, French, Italian, and Dutch. The best thing about Duo is that it is free. You can do lessons on the computer and your phone. I think quality of the lessons vary by language. French has lots of lessons and slower pace for learning. I think that Duolingo is terrible at explaining anything. That is why I search for other sources, books, CZcams, etc. I very much appreciate your teaching, sometimes it goes almost too far, you can't leave out rare seldom case examples. I think you would have made a good engineer with you focus on not missing anything. I have one of your books and I have watched lots of your videos. One thing that I think every French speaking person should understand when speaking English is we love your accent. It is an improvement over listening to anyone else (except for those with an outrageous Scottish accent). You should seldom apologize for saying something wrong, just go with it an we will follow, especially Americans. Americans are terrible at grammar and proper pronunciation, so some do it proudly.
Frank apologize for the late reply. I totally agree for Duolingo, terrible for any explanation! And you are also right, I can't never leave anything out of my lessons :D My first career was as a technician in construction so I guess it comes from there :)
At 6:12 - The Beelinguapp audio is all done by computer. It is absolutely not perfect, BUT… it is really good for 95% of what it does. I would look at it like a tool. I would not expect my toaster to make juice. That’s not what it is for. My toaster is good at making toast, that’s it. It also isn’t perfect. Sometimes it over cooks something, but the majority of the time it is really good at what it does. That is Beelinguapp. It is a really useful tool to practice reading and listening. It is especially good for learning whole phrases in context, BUT… it is not perfect. A live French teacher is best, but this is a helpful supplemental tool.
What puts me off most apps is the cost. I’m not going to pay the same amount for a language app as something like Netflix. I started with duolingo this year and am happy to have to practice to earn hearts and keep going. What it doesn’t teach me directly I can find on excellent CZcams channels like this!
PS: I use and enjoy Beelinguapp. I wouldn’t recommend it as a stand alone app, but rather a great supplemental tool. They also have EXCELLENT support if you have any questions or problems. It seems like a very small company. Their owner/founder even emailed me when I sent some questions. I like supporting small businesses. I feel the same about Speakly. Another smaller app that is wonderful with excellent support.
I don’t only use Language learning app to study a language,because I know they’re just a tool to study,but not a system to learn languages. I personally love using Drops because I always don’t know where to get vocabulary,and Drops is an app that focusing on vocabulary, so I use drops everyday to make sure that I can have new words to learn everyday and input. But grammar,Conjugation,Pronunciation etc. are also very important so I also have to study these things.
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Now Assimil seems to have an app, for Android, iOs, Windows and Mac: e-course French. Yes, there is a book for it, but I don't think you have to have it to use the app. Anki is also an app, not a book (at least I don't know of a book for it).
I tried to learn italian with Memrise, and I found it very confusing and lacking structure. The vocabulary jumped from simple words to whole sentences. Also no grammar explanation at all. Few years back I bought a Rosetta Stone lifetime subscription for all languages. I finished italian but not was really able to speak or understand, so far away from the promised B1 level. This year I started to learn french with Rosetta Stone (my lifetime subscription) and Babbel. Rosetta Stone uses exactly the same sentences and images for all languages 😞 Babbel is fine but sometimes they progress very fast and sometimes very slow. And the grammar lessons could be more detailed and repetitive. I think the best way is to combine different resources...
Hi, I'm new here!! I decided to learn French. What advice could you give for a begginer? Because honestly I don't know where to start. I am trying to get familiar with the language, I'm doing that by listening to podcasts or videos on youtube for beginners, but I don't know if this is a good way to start. I speak Portuguese, Spanish and English, but this is the first time I've got completely lost about learning a new language.
Learn pronunciation first. That will give you a great foundation because spoken and written French are not the same. I have a playlist that you can just watch. Check out my page. Also, get my self-study guide on my website (go to freebies) and just follow the lessons :)
Does Lingo Pie have only Français series or does it have series from Quebec? As being an Anglo Quebecer it's always a struggle to find French learning content that's relevant to where I'm from.
Honnêtement bien que je apprenne Français je n’utilise jamais une app l’apprendre parce que quand je veux pratiquer mon français, je préfère simplement parler avec les français eux-memes dans les serveurs de discord par exemple où tu peux simplement rejoindre un serveur et apprendre du début mais peut être j’obtiendrai une app à l’avenir Merci professure pour l’aider

Frank apologize for the late reply. I totally agree for Duolingo, terrible for any explanation! And you are also right, I can't never leave anything out of my lessons :D My first career was as a technician in construction so I guess it comes from there :)
Great video, thank you 🙏
My pleasure!
At 6:12 - The Beelinguapp audio is all done by computer. It is absolutely not perfect, BUT… it is really good for 95% of what it does.
I would look at it like a tool. I would not expect my toaster to make juice. That’s not what it is for. My toaster is good at making toast, that’s it.
It also isn’t perfect. Sometimes it over cooks something, but the majority of the time it is really good at what it does.
That is Beelinguapp.
It is a really useful tool to practice reading and listening. It is especially good for learning whole phrases in context, BUT… it is not perfect.
A live French teacher is best, but this is a helpful supplemental tool.
Merci beaucoup, professeur Dylan!
Pas de quoi :)
Merci beaucoup, c'est très gentil de votre part!
Pas de quoi :)
What puts me off most apps is the cost. I’m not going to pay the same amount for a language app as something like Netflix.
I started with duolingo this year and am happy to have to practice to earn hearts and keep going. What it doesn’t teach me directly I can find on excellent CZcams channels like this!
I agree! They can be pricey for sure! And thank you for watching my channel :)
Excellent and VERY helpful video, complete with adoable dog!!
Merci 🤩
You are simply the best 😁
🥰
At 5:43 - “It hurts my feelings”.
She is so sweet.
I’m sure she is an excellent teacher and likely a great mom or future mom.
PS: I use and enjoy Beelinguapp. I wouldn’t recommend it as a stand alone app, but rather a great supplemental tool.
They also have EXCELLENT support if you have any questions or problems.
It seems like a very small company. Their owner/founder even emailed me when I sent some questions.
I like supporting small businesses.
I feel the same about Speakly. Another smaller app that is wonderful with excellent support.
I am a great dog mom ;)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane She even replies to CZcams comments, lol… too sweet. 🙏
I see in ur face ur so working hard for us thanks again
I am tired yes 😅
My favourites are Babbel, Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone. All three have little different approaches but do their job well.
Thank you for Sharing
Thanks for this Dylane. What do think about Falou?
I have never tried it but I will look into it :)
I don’t only use Language learning app to study a language,because I know they’re just a tool to study,but not a system to learn languages. I personally love using Drops because I always don’t know where to get vocabulary,and Drops is an app that focusing on vocabulary, so I use drops everyday to make sure that I can have new words to learn everyday and input. But grammar,Conjugation,Pronunciation etc. are also very important so I also have to study these things.
I will check this one out :)
I'd like to see you review Assimil French With Ease, Anki (both apps), and maybe even French in Action, although it is a video series.
I don't review books since I also have books :(
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Now Assimil seems to have an app, for Android, iOs, Windows and Mac: e-course French. Yes, there is a book for it, but I don't think you have to have it to use the app. Anki is also an app, not a book (at least I don't know of a book for it).
thanks for your efforts
It's my pleasure
I tried to learn italian with Memrise, and I found it very confusing and lacking structure. The vocabulary jumped from simple words to whole sentences. Also no grammar explanation at all. Few years back I bought a Rosetta Stone lifetime subscription for all languages. I finished italian but not was really able to speak or understand, so far away from the promised B1 level.
This year I started to learn french with Rosetta Stone (my lifetime subscription) and Babbel. Rosetta Stone uses exactly the same sentences and images for all languages 😞 Babbel is fine but sometimes they progress very fast and sometimes very slow. And the grammar lessons could be more detailed and repetitive.
I think the best way is to combine different resources...
I had no idea for the images! That would bother me so much!
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane I totally forgot to thank you for the review. Thank you Dylane!
Thank you so much madam
You are most welcome
Thank you!
❤😊 mon premier professeur
Hi :)
Bonjour miss Dylan
Good to learn basic .thanks 😊
Welcome 😊
For new students like me i like the repetitive...i don't forget anything
Great video
Thanks!
I have tried a couple of these apps but none of them explains the whys and wherefores as clearly as you do.
Thank you
Thank you for this! Do you have any feedback for LinQ? I want to supplement the study I want to start...
I haven't spent too much time on it but I will :)
Hi, I'm new here!! I decided to learn French. What advice could you give for a begginer? Because honestly I don't know where to start. I am trying to get familiar with the language, I'm doing that by listening to podcasts or videos on youtube for beginners, but I don't know if this is a good way to start.
I speak Portuguese, Spanish and English, but this is the first time I've got completely lost about learning a new language.
Learn pronunciation first. That will give you a great foundation because spoken and written French are not the same. I have a playlist that you can just watch. Check out my page. Also, get my self-study guide on my website (go to freebies) and just follow the lessons :)
Thanks!
Thank you so much Frank!
Thank you
Je vous remercie pour vos efforts.
Pas de quoi :)
Does Lingo Pie have only Français series or does it have series from Quebec? As being an Anglo Quebecer it's always a struggle to find French learning content that's relevant to where I'm from.
Yes, there are some from Canada but it's mostly France.
The fact that an app is “Free” or Paid shouldn’t be a Pro or Con to determine the best app.
You have something with my opinion on free or paid app don't you?
J'aime Pimsleur, Frantastique, et chatterbug mais ils peuvent être chers. Bien sûr, j’aime tes livres les meilleurs
Je dois essayer chatterbug. J'espère qu'il y a un essai gratuit :D
Merci beaucoup 🌹🌹
I would like to try out fluent U thank you for the link Madam Dylane
My pleasure :) Let me know if you like it :)
Très bien !
trés bien video
Merci :)
The best App is Elsa. It’s complete.
Merci beaucoup
De rien :)
Do you have a recommendation for which app(s) may be best for someone at the b1/b2 level. Merci.
Anne for this level it's more about immersion than rules. I would recommend Lingopie if you like TV, or Beelinguapp for reading :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Thank you. Also I love your videos and found your book on Subjunctive very helpful. Merci beaucoup.
I have to need the names of some apps for learning free French language courses with free certifications , please helps me.
No free apps will give you certificates unfortunately.
What of tv5 monde app apprend Francis
Merci!
Vous êtes très belle et agréable.
What about the Rocket French course?
I have never tried it unfortunately
Merci madame, beaucoup de ces applications ne sont pas gratuites, je suis un étudiant sans beaucoup d' argent😅 de toute façon merci beaucoup
No Lingq???
I had to choose 10 :)

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane 🙂
Overall "better" one?
Babbel if you are a beginner, Lingopie to diversify if you are A2 and more :)
Madame explain the exam model papers A1 exam
I don't do exam prep here :/
What about LingQ? What do u think bout it
I have never tried it but I will :)
Good luck
“The app(s) should be free”?
Do you how expensive it is to develop the technology?
Pay. Period.
I do indeed. Do you know how much money can be made through ads and perks on an app while keeping content free or affordable?
Honnêtement bien que je apprenne Français je n’utilise jamais une app l’apprendre parce que quand je veux pratiquer mon français, je préfère simplement parler avec les français eux-memes dans les serveurs de discord par exemple où tu peux simplement rejoindre un serveur et apprendre du début mais peut être j’obtiendrai une app à l’avenir
Merci professure pour l’aider
C'est une bonne idée pour Discord :)
C'est plus facile d'apprendre quand on a une si jolie prof :)
I think Duolingo pronunciation was really bad
Madame, are you learning any new language?
No not at the moment because I barely have free time 😅
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Ok , no problem 💐💐🙂
Did you try Learning Francaise with TV5?
I use to recommend it but their ads are just out of control. Some of them can't even be closed and just stay in front of the video.
Duolingo : Vous croyez votre prononciation est correct? Tres amusant! 🤣
Maintenant je me sens mieux!
Je pense oui :D
