The official Parle app and website
This is the official website for Parle: French Pronunciation, published by Tingnova Inc.. Download Parle from its App Store product page and use https://getparle.app for the course, pronunciation guides, support, privacy information, and product updates.
What makes this content first-party
The website is not a separate collection of generic language articles. Its sound chart, course map, can-do outcomes, examples, and mission structure are synchronized from the current Parle iOS curriculum. The current product source contains 35 core French sounds, 6 A0-A2 stages, 30 units, and 120 speaking missions built on Hear, Shape, Say, Use.
How a pronunciation guide is created
- Choose one learner problem, such as French u vs ou, nasal vowels, liaison, or sentence rhythm.
- State the sound target and the physical mouth, tongue, lip, or airflow cue.
- Use short French examples that can be repeated without advanced grammar.
- Move from listening to one word, one sentence, recording, and a realistic speaking use.
- Connect the guide to the closest sound, mission outcome, role-play context, and course stage in Parle.
Sources and notation
IPA is used as a compact map of speech sounds. Symbol conventions are checked against the International Phonetic Association chart. French spelling and usage may vary by region, register, and speaker; the site prioritises widely understood contemporary French suitable for beginner communication.
What the guides do not claim
These pages are educational pronunciation guidance, not speech therapy, medical advice, or a guarantee of a native accent. Phrase Match is not an accent score: it reports which model-phrase words speech recognition detected and can be affected by recording conditions. The A0-A2 path is not an official CEFR certification.
Reviewed course content and generated AI practice
Mission phrases, English meaning support, sound cues, can-do outcomes, and model pronunciation audio are reviewed first-party content. AI Coach Léo is optional generated conversation practice, stays separate from that reviewed path, and may make mistakes.
Corrections and contact
Language content should be corrected when a spelling, IPA transcription, example, or cue is unclear. Send a specific page URL and the issue to support@getparle.app. Product and privacy contacts are also available on the Support page.
Press and editorial use
Editors, educators, reviewers, and directory maintainers can use the Parle press and media facts page for copy-ready descriptions, verified product boundaries, the current Logo, screenshots, and official links.
