What learners say about Promova

App Store

I do speak English, I am practice my accent and vocabulary, I also have my child practicing English and French and I am amazed with the results. Promova is very practical and addictive. Have tried other apps, I am in love with this one.

Google Play

This is the best language learning app that I have tried! (And I have tried several.) The spoken prompts feel more like natural French speakers and the modules are very practical. I speak a little French but have no confidence in putting together sentences and my pronunciation. The way the lessons are organized, I am gaining confidence. I love it.

Google Play

I am very happy with this app so far. I understand French, and I can read books or magazines, but the thing that is troubling me most is the blockage I have when it comes to speaking in real life. Thanks to this app, I hope I will restore my confidence. the vocabulary and finally speak French freely. it is very easy to manage through the topics, to choose the right one, lots of vocabulary.....Great app !🙂
