Spoken French & GCSE Listening
An iPhone app that trains you to understand French as it is actually spoken. A few minutes a day, by ear, at native speed.
In beta on TestFlight, for iPhoneHow it works
Listening first
Every lesson is spoken by native voices. You hear a sentence before you read it, and ear training works on the sounds English speakers tend to merge.
A plan for every day
Each day is a short set: listen, learn, recall, fix. Reviews that are due come before anything new, so missing a day never turns into a backlog.
Today, in French
A fresh news edition every morning, written for learners from stories confirmed by independent sources, so the French you practise is about the real world.
Learn together
Invite family and friends into a circle and learn alongside each other. Free to start, with a Premium subscription for the full course.
GCSE French
A listening course built around the exam.
Podyglot has a GCSE mode for the CCEA French listening paper. It follows the board’s own Foundation vocabulary list, day by day, until every word on it has been heard in context.
Practice questions are derived from the board’s real past papers and checked by hand, one by one, before they reach a learner. A mock listening exam runs on the board’s own clock, so the real one holds no surprises.
- 180days in the course schedule, with the full Foundation list covered before the end
- 100%of the board’s core vocabulary appendix taught in context
- Realpast papers as the source of every question style, each reviewed by a person
