Learn to speak French out loud

How it works
Four steps for every French sentence
One loop you repeat on every sentence, ending with you speaking French out loud.
Step 1
Order
See a French sentence and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.
Step 2
Translate
See the English and build the sentence in French, word by word.
Step 3
Listen
Hear the sentence spoken in French, then type what you understood.
Step 4
Speak
Say it out loud in French and see which words landed and which to try again.
Speaking French
Why speak French from day one
French drops or links many letters when words meet, and it has nasal vowels English does not use. Reading a sentence silently teaches you little about how it sounds. Hearing it, typing it and then saying it is the quickest fix.
A sentence to start with
Je voudrais un café, s'il vous plaît.
I would like a coffee, please.

French questions, answered
Can I learn French for free with 4ToSpeak?
Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).
How does 4ToSpeak teach French speaking?
Every French sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.
Do I need a microphone to practise French?
Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.
Do I need to know any French already?
No. Lessons start from short everyday French sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.
Is French hard to learn for English speakers?
Reading comes faster than speaking. Silent letters, linked words and the French r take time, so most of your effort should go into listening and saying sentences aloud.
