Learn French (Français)
Practise French with an AI tutor that explains why
French is full of small words that do a lot of work. En, y, the partitive and the pronouns that line up before the verb in a fixed order. YaP is the place to practise between your lessons, ask the questions you didn't have time for in class and learn the French that matters to you.
Speak or type to the tutor. It answers in French, corrects what matters, explains the rule and asks you to try again.
Metropolitan or Québécois
YaP supports both Metropolitan (France) French and Canadian (Québécois) French. The two share grammar but split on vocabulary and pronunciation. Tell the tutor "parle-moi comme à Montréal" and you get "char" instead of "voiture", and "déjeuner" for breakfast instead of lunch.
You can switch back to Paris mid-session if you change your mind.

- Canadian (Québécois)
What a session looks like
After class. Your teacher covered en and y tonight and it half made sense. You open a lesson and ask for more examples. Then you ask why someone answers "Tu as des frères ?" with "J'en ai deux", and why "j'y pense" means "I'm thinking about it". The tutor explains that en stands in for something introduced by de, including quantities, and y for a place, or a thing introduced by à. It gives you a few more to try and corrects you as you go. The lesson is saved with a date and a description, so you can find it again before your next class.
What you care about. A French friend has recommended a series and you want to follow it without leaning on the subtitles. You ask the tutor about the words that keep coming up. You learn that un mec is a guy, that bosser is an informal way to say "to work" and that relou, slang for "annoying", is lourd with its sounds turned round. Then you practise telling your friend what you thought of the first episode. Every new word is saved as a flashcard for review.
Or the calls with your partner's family in Lyon, the songs you grew up hearing, the colleagues in Montréal. Whatever you need, YaP follows.

Who it is for
You're learning French properly, not just for a holiday. Maybe you're in evening classes, working with a tutor or picking up the French you left behind at school. Perhaps you have family or friends who speak it, a love of the films, the books or the food, or plans to spend more time in France or Québec.
You don't need to follow anyone else's order. Jump from this week's chapter back to the basics, or straight to the words you need tomorrow. YaP follows you and remembers everything.
