Reading French is much easier than hearing it
Learners routinely reach the point where they can read a French newspaper and still fail to follow a spoken sentence. The reason is that French systematically deletes final consonants and then reattaches them when the next word begins with a vowel. Les amis is said lay-zami; vous avez runs together as voo-zavay. Word boundaries dissolve.
This liaison also carries meaning. Ils ont (they have) and ils sont (they are) are distinguished in speech almost entirely by whether the linking consonant is a z or an s. Getting it wrong is not an accent, it is a different verb.
The silent h that is not always silent
French has two kinds of silent h and they behave in opposite ways. Words with h muet act as though they start with a vowel, so you get l'homme and les hommes with a z sound. Words with h aspiré block that: le héros, no liaison. Make the liaison anyway and les héros becomes les zéros.
Nothing in the spelling tells you which is which — it is a historical residue. Dictionaries mark it, which is the practical reason to look up any word beginning with h once and store the answer with the word.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the dictionary indicate liaison and silent letters?
Entries give the standard written form, and the distinction between h muet and h aspiré is marked because it changes pronunciation and elision — l'homme against le héros. Liaison itself is a rule applied between words rather than a property of a single entry.
Is it useful for Canadian French?
The entries cover standard French, which is the written standard in Quebec as well as in France. Quebec French differs considerably in pronunciation and in some everyday vocabulary, so a learner focused on Canada will want to supplement with Canadian listening material.
Does it include verb conjugations?
No — this is a dictionary and gives infinitives with their meanings. For full French conjugation tables across all tenses and moods, including the subjunctive and passé simple, see our separate La Conjugaison app.
Does it work offline?
Yes. All entries are stored on the device, so lookups are instant and work with no connection at all.
