Parle is a pronunciation-first iPhone and iPad course for English-speaking beginners. Practise 35 French sounds with IPA, reviewed model audio, and mouth cues, then move through 120 ordered A0-A2 speaking missions using Hear–Shape–Say–Use, recording, role-play, Phrase Match word detection, and optional AI Coach Léo. Phrase Match is not a pronunciation or accent score. Start with free practice; optional Premium access unlocks more guided learning.

Hi Product Hunt — I’m Ting Dong, the creator of Parle at Tingnova Inc. I built Parle because many beginners can recognize French on screen but still freeze when they need to speak. I wanted one ordered path that starts with a reviewed sound model and a physical mouth cue, then carries the same target into a recording, useful phrase, and real-life response. The current release includes 35 learning sounds and 120 ordered A0–A2 speaking missions built around Hear–Shape–Say–Use. Phrase Match reports which words in the model phrase speech recognition detected; it is not a pronunciation or accent score, and recognition can be wrong. AI Coach Léo is optional guided practice and may also be wrong. I’d especially value feedback on whether the product page makes those boundaries clear and whether the sound-to-response progression is easy to understand. Thanks for taking a look.

I m Levin Dong, working on Parle at Tingnova Inc. While building it, I kept running into a product-language problem: feedback is often treated as one thing, even though apps may be showing very different signals.

Here is the distinction I now use:

1. Recording and replay preserves what the learner said so they can listen again.

2. Speech-recognition word detection reports which words a recognizer detected.
