Culture and context in French
Read the situation beyond the individual lines.
En France, la hiérarchie compte encore au travail. Avec un supérieur, utilisez « vous ». En réunion, on discute avant de décider.

Role-play routine
Keep the intention; change one detail.
- Read the exchange once for meaning without stopping at every IPA symbol.
- Repeat one speaker's turns and keep the other turns as prompts.
- Change one time, place, object, or preference while preserving the structure.
- Switch roles and answer without reading the original line word for word.
- Use the app for model audio, recording, and a guided response sequence.
