About Best Language Apps
Best Language Apps is a plain directory of the apps, courses and websites people use to learn a language, with what each one costs, who it suits and what it does not do. Apps taught in many languages are at the top level; courses that teach only one language have their own section, starting with French.

Who runs it
Best Language Apps (formerly French Learning Apps) is an independent guide. Its publisher also runs two courses: French with Amélie, by a French teacher in Paris, and Spanish with Alejandra, real Latin American Spanish by email. We list apps that compete with both.
Entries are written in plain English for adult learners. Each one says who the app suits and, just as plainly, what it does not do.
How we rank
We rank apps by who they genuinely suit, what they cost, and how much they help with the skill learners neglect most: understanding the real spoken language. Every price and fact was checked on the product's own site or app store listing on the date shown; where a price is not published we say so and what is free. Nobody pays to be listed or ranked, and there are no affiliate links.
Rankings are per page: the best app for listening is rarely the best for grammar. On the main list our picks come first, then everything else from A to Z.
How facts are checked
Each entry shows the date it was last checked. Prices, levels and platforms come from the product's own website or app store listing on that date. Levels are our reading of what the maker says, or our own assessment where they say nothing. If a price is not published, we say so and say what is free, rather than guess. Prices are as shown on the official site on the date given; they vary by country and change often. We never invent ratings.
Disclosure
French with Amélie makes a French listening newsletter and a free level test. It is listed in the French section (French with Amélie). The boxes offering a free listening test link to French with Amélie's test, and the Spanish boxes link to Spanish with Alejandra. No other app has paid to be listed, and there are no affiliate links.
