Try the first mission
Say hello. Hear one sound. Make it your own.
The first lesson starts with Bonjour ! — Hello! Focus on /ɔ̃/: Round your lips and let air pass through your nose too, without adding a final n.
In the app, record your line, replay it beside the model, then answer: “You meet someone. Say hello.”

Hear bonjour with French audio, or explore the 35-sound French pronunciation chart. These web references are free to use.
What should a French pronunciation app help you do?
A useful app turns listening into repeatable speech: hear the model, shape the sound, record a short phrase, and reuse it in context.
Shape
Use IPA, spellings, and a physical mouth or airflow cue.
Say
Record and replay your voice; use word detection as a retry signal.
Use
Finish with a practical role-play response instead of isolated repetition.
