Finally start speaking French.

Take the two-minute quiz on this site and you get a plan built around your level and your goal. Then grab the app from the store, sign in with the same email, and your first conversation with Tess is waiting. You'll be speaking French inside the first minute.

Yes. Tess starts with bonjour and three words if that's what you have, and she glosses everything in English until you don't need it. If you already understand French but freeze when you have to speak, you're exactly who she built this for.

Yes, from the first minute. You tap the mic, say your sentence, and Tess answers in seconds. You can type when you're somewhere quiet, but the whole point is to open your mouth, so most of the app is built around speaking.

There is nobody to be embarrassed in front of. Tess never sighs, never laughs at you, and never marks anything with a red X. She shows you the sentence a French person would say, explains why in one line, and keeps the conversation going.

5 minutes is enough for a real conversation. Most people do a topic on the way to work or before bed. Tess notices when you go quiet and gently pulls you back, but she doesn't punish you for a day off.

Tess is built on a real French teacher: Tereza, who wrote the topics, the corrections and the way Tess nudges you to try again. The app runs on AI so she can answer you at any hour, in seconds. Think of it as her classroom in your pocket.

You can cancel in two taps at any time. And if you try FrenchTess and don't hear yourself speaking more French, write to us within 14 days and we refund you. No forms, no questions.

Duolingo gets you tapping the right answer. A generic chatbot chats about anything and corrects nothing. Tess makes you speak, corrects you as you go, keeps every mistake in your sheet and brings it back until it sticks. The conversations go somewhere, because a teacher built them.
