Lune's mascot, a cream snail in a navy beret with a cobalt-blue spiral shell

You know what? Tonight, we're getting poutine.

The subtitles light up with every word as it's said.

Three steps. That's it.

01

Watch

Scroll short videos just like you always do. French subtitles with an English translation light up word by word, so you always know exactly what's being said.

Il fait beau à Montréal.

The weather's nice in Montréal.

02

Tap

Tap a word you don't know and see what it means in that sentence. Verbs show their base form and tense (mangé → manger, past participle), and nouns come with le or la. Hear it pronounced, and get idioms and slang explained as a whole phrase.

mangé → manger

PAST PARTICIPLE · PASSÉ COMPOSÉ

to eat

03

Remember

Saved words come back for review with the moment of video you found them in. They show up again right when you're about to forget, so they stick without cramming.

Questions

What kind of videos can I watch?

Popular YouTube Shorts and short clips cut from longer videos: comedy, food, travel, gaming, sports, interviews and more, from creators native French speakers actually watch in France, Québec, Belgium, Switzerland, francophone Africa and beyond. Each clip shows which country's French you're hearing. Videos play in YouTube's official player.

I'm a beginner. Is Lune for me?

Yes. Clips are sorted into levels 1–5, you can show English translations and slow videos down, and any word you don't know is one tap away, with its meaning in that exact scene.

Do I need an account?

No. Your saved words and progress stay on your iPhone.

Is there an Android version?

Android is on the way. For now, Lune is for iPhone (iOS 17 or later).
