- What is LexiFr?
- A French vocabulary app for learners who want precise French, not just translation. It teaches words by level, from A1 to C2, by register, and by real usage, with spaced repetition, listening, and Shadowing practice.
- Who is LexiFr for?
- Adult learners who want to read, listen, and speak French with the right word in the right setting. It starts with essential A1 vocabulary and grows toward advanced, literary, and professional French.
- What makes it different?
- LexiFr does not flatten French into single translations. Each word is taught with context, register, examples, multiple meanings, false friends, and similar words learners confuse — so you understand not only what a word means, but when to use it.
The words that look easy — and aren't.
- actuellement
Looks like
"actually"
Means
"currently, right now"
- librairie
Looks like
"library"
Means
"bookstore"
- ça pique
Looks like
literally "it stings"
Means
often "that’s expensive" in context
- tu me manques
Looks like
"you miss me"
Means
"I miss you"
The translation is not enough. The context changes everything.
One idea. Four registers.
French keeps a different word for each setting. Take a single idea — to eat — and watch it shift from formal, literary French to the everyday, the familiar, and slang. LexiFr shows the register for each meaning, so you choose the word that fits the room.
- soutenu formal, literary se sustenter in a formal or literary register
- courant everyday, neutral manger the everyday, neutral choice
- familier casual, spoken bouffer casual, among friends
- argotique slang grailler slang, between close mates
Pick the wrong register and the meaning survives, but the room notices.
Spaced repetition, listening, and calm recall.
LexiFr is built to bring vocabulary back through context, sound, and review — without turning practice into pressure.
- Review that remembers
- Spaced repetition brings each word back on a review rhythm tuned to memory, not busywork. You see what is ready today, and nothing more.
- Hands-free review
- Listen to a word, hear it in context, and answer without touching the screen — built for walking, commuting, or cooking.
- Progress without pressure
- Track words, reviews, and levels calmly. No cartoon mascots, no ads, and no noisy gamification — just a clear view of how far you've come.
From first words to finer distinctions.

- A1
- A2
- B1

What is LexiFr?

What are French false friends, and does LexiFr teach them?
French false friends are words that look like English words but mean something different. For example, actuellement means "currently," not "actually." LexiFr helps you learn these traps in context, so you remember the real meaning.
Does LexiFr help me stop translating word by word?
Yes. LexiFr focuses on meaning, context, register, and examples, so you learn how French is actually used instead of memorizing isolated translations.
Who is LexiFr for?

Is LexiFr for beginners?
Yes. LexiFr starts at A1 with 200 essential words in the free tier. Beginners can use it as their main vocabulary tool, then continue through the A1 to C2 path as they progress.
Is LexiFr a translation app?
No. LexiFr is a French vocabulary learning app, not a general translation tool. Each word arrives with meaning, register, examples, and context, so learners understand when a word fits, not only what it means.

Register is how formal or informal a word feels. For example, femme and meuf can point to a similar idea, but they belong in very different settings.
