This hub is for English-speaking A0-A2 learners who want clearer French speech. It connects short explanations with practical guides, because pronunciation is not learned by reading rules alone. You need a target sound, a mouth cue, a short phrase, and repeated speaking.
Start here
The best starting point is the smallest sound or phrase that still feels useful. If you are new to French, begin with greetings, alphabet sounds, steady vowels, nasal vowels, and polite daily phrases. If you already know some French but freeze when speaking, use the practice and daily-scene guides to move from reading into speech.
Parle follows a pronunciation-first method: hear the model, understand the cue, repeat aloud, compare feedback, and use the sound inside a real beginner scene. This website mirrors that structure so search visitors and AI answer engines can understand the same entity: Parle is an iOS app for English-speaking A0-A2 learners practising French pronunciation, phonemes, minimal pairs, shadowing, daily scenes, and AI Coach.

How to use this hub
Read one guide, then practise one sound or phrase immediately. Do not open ten tabs and turn pronunciation into passive research. For A0-A2 learners, useful progress looks like this:
- Choose one target.
- Listen to one model.
- Say one word.
- Say one sentence.
- Record one attempt.
- Repeat tomorrow.
That loop keeps the work concrete. French has many details, but you do not need all of them on day one. You need a repeatable path from sound to sentence.
Use the hub as a weekly map. Pick one foundation topic, one sound topic, one practice routine, and one daily scene. That gives your ear and mouth enough variety without scattering attention. If a daily scene exposes a weak sound, go back to the phoneme guide. If a phoneme feels easy in isolation but difficult in speech, move to shadowing. The system should feel circular, not linear: sound, word, sentence, scene, review, then back to sound.
For best results, keep one simple note after each session: the phrase you practised, the sound that felt weak, and the next article or app exercise to open. This creates a visible trail from confusion to practice. It also prevents the common beginner mistake of jumping randomly between topics without repeating the sound that actually needs work.
Use that note as your next starting point.
