Why learn French with Peek
-
Not every letter is spoken
French spelling sits far from its sound: the ends of deux and trois stay silent. That is why every word has audio.
-
Gender comes with the word
Nouns come with their article: le pain, la fleur. Before a vowel the article shortens and hides the gender, as in l'eau. Cards don't mark that yet.
-
The verbs you need most
Être, avoir, aller and faire are in the deck of 50 common verbs.
-
Close to English
The US Foreign Service Institute plans 30 weeks of full-time study for French. At 10 new cards a day, a first pass takes about a month.

Peek vs Anki vs Quizlet for French
A fair comparison for learning French: what you get from the first day.
| Feature | 
Peek
| Anki | Quizlet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everyday French words by topic | ✓ | Shared decks | User sets |
| 50 common verbs built in | ✓ | Shared decks | User sets |
| Nouns with le or la | ✓ | Depends on deck | Depends on set |
| Picture on every card | ✓ | Depends on deck | Depends on set |
| Audio on every word | ✓ | Depends on deck | ✓ |
| Spaced repetition (SRS) | ✓ | ✓ | Limited |
| No sign-up required | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |
Honest note: Anki and Quizlet have many more shared French sets. Peek's verb deck teaches the infinitive only for now. It trades that for decks that are ready from the first card.
