Why learn French?

French is the official language of 29 countries and a working language of dozens of international organisations. It is the most-learned foreign language in the world after English. LangOria's French course is built around real sentence pairs from the Tatoeba corpus, so you learn the French native speakers actually use in Paris, Quebec, Dakar, and beyond.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to reach conversational French on LangOria?

Most beginners reach A2 (basic travel French) after about 6 months of consistent 45–65-minute daily practice. B1 (working French) typically takes 6-9 months. French requires more time than Spanish for English speakers due to pronunciation and gendered nouns.

Which French accent does LangOria teach?

LangOria's sentence pairs draw from Metropolitan French as the standard reference, with content intelligible across all Francophone regions. If you need a specific regional accent (Quebec, Belgian, North African), supplement with region-specific listening practice.

Is the French data real?

Yes — every sentence pair in LangOria's French course comes from the Tatoeba corpus, a crowdsourced database of translations by native speakers. You are learning real sentences from real French, not textbook fabrications.

How hard is French pronunciation?

French pronunciation is famously tricky — the 'r' sound, nasal vowels, and silent letters all present challenges. The 45–65-minute audio shadowing drills in LangOria are designed to train your ear and mouth to the natural rhythm of French speech, which is more important than memorising rules.
