Why This Method Works

Traditional language learning traps you in artificial scenarios. SonLerni exposes you to real French as it's actually spoken.

Traditional Learning

  • Artificial dialogues no one actually uses
  • Slow, overly clear pronunciation
  • Limited vocabulary and expressions
  • No cultural context or idioms

SonLerni Method

  • Real conversations between native speakers
  • Natural speed with micro-adjustable controls
  • Rich vocabulary including slang and idioms
  • Deep cultural context and explanations
