Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Learn French | LingQ French Language Course, an app by LingQ.com, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.
LingQ’s French course on PC kind of feels like poking around a big library, but all the books and stuff are way easier to jump into. There’s a huge range of things to read and listen to — beginner lessons, French podcasts, audiobooks, news stories, and even interviews, all set up with transcripts, so following along isn’t confusing. The neat part is that if someone stumbles on a random French article or news story online, they can just import it and start using it as a lesson. Everything breaks down into pieces you can tap, highlight, look up, and then save words for later. As someone works through a story or a podcast, if a word or phrase pops up that’s unfamiliar, it’s simple to add that into your own bank to review later, and the app keeps track of how much you’ve listened and read, plus how many words you’re picking up over time.
On a bigger screen with BlueStacks, it’s pretty comfortable—lots of content, less squinting, and moving between reading and listening is smooth. The spaced repetition review system is nice if you’re trying to actually lock in what you’ve seen, and there’s this little aspect where your avatar grows as you get farther along. It’s flexible too—syncs up between PC and phone, offline works, and you can see all your stats, from listening time to the number of words learned. Feels less like a flashcard drill and more of a “learn as you read whatever looks interesting” setup, which stands out compared to most language apps that keep throwing you into mini games or endless vocab lists. There are reminders and extra bits for learning tips if someone really wants, but overall, it’s about just stacking up real French in whatever way feels the least forced.
