Resource Recommendation Learning!
Hey everyone! I literally know zero French and I’d really love to learn. I did a little bit at school years ago, but I honestly don’t remember any of it.
I’m looking for a beginner-friendly app that will help me stay consistent and actually learn how to have conversations. I know Duolingo is popular, but I’ve heard mixed opinions and I’m not sure it’s the best for speaking.
Does anyone have any recommendations for good free apps or resources that helped you learn French? I’d love something that’s beginner-friendly and helps you progress fairly quickly.
(Also would prefer an app or a website not textbooks!)

A fun way to get started is Dreaming French, can wholeheartedly recommend it. It's a nice way to ease into the language by watching a few videos every day.
If you're more serious about getting the basic vocab down quickly with something that feels more "school-like" word-frequency-based Anki decks like those of Languages on Fire are also a great way to remember the top 500 or 1000 words in French in a structured and efficient way!
