Having the schematic of the mouth placement for each sound, accompanied by the reader speaking a list of several words with that sound in it is genius.

The pronunciation on this is not quite accurate. The letter ‘r’ in IPA is wrongly written as [r], but he French ‘r’ is not pronounced as [r] nor as in Spanish nor as [ɹ] as in English, it should be [ʁ], which is a little like a throat gargle. Keep that in mind. Sometimes the [ɑ] is wrongly pronounced [a] in the words. There are other issues. I recommend getting the Interactive IPA app to sort these thing out. If you’re just trying to learn French, this is a good start, but if you want very precise pronunciation, get an IPA app to go along with this and also look up Foreign Service French Phonology, which teaches very precise pronunciation.I still think it’s worth buying.

Excellent phonetic resource ! If you want to learn by ear grasp the essence of the language, and perfect your accent—this is the best method. This app is for people who truly want to become fluent. Master French with phonology & fluency follows.The app offers effective voice recognition and comparison tools. Keep practicing. Tune your ear; train your voice —you may find you quickly understand french broadcasts, conversations, and more—with little effort. If you just want to parrot phrases for tourists, without truly getting a feel for the language —look elsewhere. This is not a corny video game style app. It is the method used by linguists. Once you grasp the phonology, your supplementary studies become a breeze It works.

This looks like the only app of its kind so I’ll give it five stars for that. It would be more helpful if we could only hear the sound without getting the full list of words and having to go back to the other screen to be able to hear another sound.
