LEARN FRENCH FAST - BY WATCHING FUN SHORT VIDEOS Papote is a feed of short French videos made for French people rather than for learners. Vlogs, street interviews, cooking, stand-up, football arguments. WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT A clip plays and two lines of captions run under it, French on top and English below. The word being said lights up as it goes past, which is how you find out where one word ended and the next one started. You pick a level before the first clip and the feed is built from clips at that level. OUAIS, NOT OUI French people do not talk the way the textbook does. Oui becomes ouais, tu as becomes t'as, je ne sais pas turns into chais pas. The Parlé tab collects those pairs from the clips in the catalog and puts the spoken form next to the written one, each with a few seconds of someone saying it. THE WORD YOU MISSED Tap it and you get the sense it carries in that line, plus the dictionary form it came from. Save it and the clip is saved with it. For the sentences where liaison welds every word to the next one there is a 0.75x and a 0.5x, and the captions stay in time at both. WHAT YOU KEEP Saved words come back as cards on the day you were about to lose them, and each card plays back the few seconds of clip you took the word from. There is no streak to protect and nothing to lose by leaving the app alone for a week. WHO IT IS FOR People who can read a menu and still lose the thread when two French people talk to each other. If short video already has an hour of your day, this is that hour with the captions switched on. The clips belong to the people who made them. Every video plays in the official YouTube player, carries the name of its channel, and links back to the original. SUBSCRIPTION Papote is a subscription app with no free tier.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

What's New (App Store): What's new: • Back up your words and sync them across phones with an optional account. Find it in Settings, Your data, Back up and sync. • Hide subtitles printed on the video: turn on the cover in player settings and drag it over them. • Clips fill more of the screen, with your daily goal and the feed filter on the side. • In lessons taught in English, the English lines are dimmed so the French stands out. • A small celebration when you hit your daily goal. • Press and hold the app icon to send us an idea or message the founder. • Fewer slideshow clips in the feed, and better first clips for beginners. Got feedback? I'd love to hear from you at trent@tcfusion.dev
