Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Canadian French and French from France?

Vocabulary and everyday expressions differ: in Quebec souper is the evening meal where France says dîner, a car is often a char rather than a voiture, and to go shopping is magasiner. Multi Lingo AI keeps them as separate practice languages and marks the words one says differently from the other.

Is there an app for Canadian French, not European French?

Yes. In Multi Lingo AI Canadian French is its own practice language, with stories, culture pieces, jokes and word games written for it and read aloud in a Canadian accent.

Does it replace my French course or teacher?

No. It is a practice companion for the gaps a course leaves: local words, slang and the things your teacher explained that did not quite stick.
