For iPhone & iPad
A French word,
every day.
GlanceFrench surfaces one carefully chosen French word on your schedule — on your lock screen, in a widget, or as a gentle notification. No lessons. No streaks. Just vocabulary that accumulates, day by day.
lumière
feminine noun · lum·ière
light; the quality of illumination
« La lumière filtre à travers les volets. »
Light filters through the shutters.
Learning doesn't have to be
a second job.
Most language apps demand sessions, streaks, and daily scores. They turn learning into a chore you dread failing. GlanceFrench does the opposite — it asks only for a glance.
Over time, the words gather. You find yourself recognising a menu, catching a phrase in a film, piecing together a sign on a Parisian street. That's the quiet power of consistent, low-pressure exposure.
