Learn French by talking

Verbsy is a speaking-first French tutor you talk to out loud. It listens, answers, corrects what you got wrong, and remembers it for next time.

Most French courses leave you able to read the menu and unable to answer the waiter. Verbsy works the other way round: you talk from the first minute, and the tutor corrects the sounds and liaisons that make people ask you to repeat yourself.

How learning French with Verbsy works

1
Tell the tutor what you want to be able to do in French — order dinner, get through an interview, talk to family. It turns that into a goal with concrete steps.
2
Talk. Put your phone in your pocket and speak through your headphones while you walk or cook. The tutor answers out loud and corrects you as you go.
3
The words you stumbled on become flashcards drawn from your own conversations, and five skills are scored from how you actually spoke.

French questions

Both. Pick French from France or Canadian French, and the accent, rhythm and everyday vocabulary change with it.

That is where speaking practice earns its keep: the tutor responds to what you actually said, not what you meant. Pronunciation that changes the meaning gets corrected first.

Yes. Beginners get slower speech, simpler sentences and more support in a language you already know, and the tutor moves further into French as you keep up. You do have to be willing to speak from the first session — that is the whole method.

Verbsy is free to download and your first 30 minutes of conversation are free. That is a one-off allowance rather than a daily one. Verbsy Premium unlocks an hour of conversation a day at the price shown in the app.

No. Verbsy is built to be used with the screen off, through your headphones, while you commute, cook or walk. It is an iPhone app and needs iOS 16.1 or later.
