Arc de Triomphe

App 1- French Dictionary and Thesaurus with Verbs
The app also has a small list of English words with which can be translated into French.
There is also a conjugation feature, where students can quickly conjugate verbs. However, there is not a large number of verb tenses to chose from.
The app is a paid app, and it is $9.99 in the Apple app store. Although it seems like a rather expensive app, students and parents can keep in mind that having to purchase a paper-back dictionary and conjugation manual would be certainly upwards of $9.99.
App 2- French Conjugation
The app is free from the app store. It is not extremely useful for high level French education as the tutorials and quizzes are only for a select number of verb tenses. However, this app works perfectly for a french languages arts 9 class as the verb tenses learned are not overly extensive.
App 3- Decoder French Pronunciation Guide
The app is for purchase in the Apple app store for $3.49. However, there are multiple examples within the app, and the app does not require internet access... making this app a great buy for students of any age!
App 4- Learn French
The app is free from the Apple app store. I strongly recommend the app to give students extra at-home or on-the-go practice at reading, speaking and spelling in French. The app also comes with great consumer reviews from other individuals learning french. The app also has a website where parents can observe the specifics about the app, in case they have questions about it.
App 5- Flashcard French Lessons
The app is free form the Apple app store. Students in an FLA 9 class might find some of the words to be more of a basic french level. However, I encourage my students to practice and perfect their knowledge of more common french words. It is excellent to have a wide array of complex adjectives and unique nouns, however when communicating with someone it is beneficial to know as many commonly used words as possible.This knowledge also helps build fluency in a language.
App 6- French Vocabulary
This app is free from the Apple app store. It has been well rated.
App 7- French Verb Trainer
The app is available in the Apple app store for $1.19. Although free apps are the most beneficial for students, this app is very useful to succeed inside and outside the classroom.
App 8- FrenchMe Pro
This app is available in the app store for $3.49. It is a more expensive app, however it would be geared more towards students looking for extra practice and help. It is in no way a mandatory app.
App 9- French Courses
This app is free from the Apple app store.
App 10- French Express
This app is available free from the Apple app store. I strongly recommend this app for students, so second language students can speak as if they are native french speakers.
