Learn French by talking to someone who speaks it.
Free practice partners for French — Français. Pick a topic, set a timer, and trade your language for theirs.
Why conversation beats revision
French reading and French listening are almost two different skills: written endings vanish in speech. A partner who speaks it will train your ear for the liaisons and dropped syllables that textbooks show but never make you hear.
-
You hear real speed
Recordings are slowed down for learners. People are not, and adjusting to that is a skill of its own.
-
Mistakes get caught
A partner tells you that nobody says it that way — the correction a textbook cannot give.
-
You practise recovery
Asking someone to repeat, or rephrasing when you are stuck, is most of what fluency feels like.
-
It is reciprocal
You are useful to them too, which is why nobody is doing you a favour and it stays free.

Questions about learning French
Is practising French here free?
Yes. Matching, chat and voice practice are free and paid for by ads. You need a free account to be matched so that people can be reported and blocked.
How do I find a French partner?
Say which language you speak, choose French as the language you want to practise, pick a level and a topic, then press find practice partner. We look for someone who speaks French and wants to learn your language.
What if no French speaker is free?
You wait in a queue and get pulled into a session the moment a match appears. You can also widen the search and practise with another learner of French.
Do I need a microphone?
No. Text chat is the default. Voice practice uses your browser's built-in speech features where they exist, so there is nothing to install.
Start with ten minutes.
Long enough to get past hello, short enough that nobody has to be brave.
