About Lingvist
Lingvist is a flashcard course that teaches the most common French words first, each in an example sentence with grammar information, and places you at your level when you start. Plans are €9.99 a month or €79.99 a year after a free trial. It suits an adult who wants efficient vocabulary work without cartoons or games. It is repetitive by design, and it will not teach you to follow fast speech or hold a conversation.
