For beginners through advanced learners

If you want to actually use French — not just study it — you’re in the right place.

  • New to French?

    Start with simple questions and basic vocabulary, and get corrections.

  • Shy or busy?

    Join anytime. Text-only is fine. Listen first if you prefer.

  • Already advanced?

    Discuss real topics, culture, slang, and nuance with fluent French speakers.

  • Exam, travel, or work?

    Ask questions, get feedback, and practice the French you’ll actually need.

What members say

  • I was afraid to speak at first. I started with text, then voice — and people were genuinely kind.

    Jonas, Germany (Beginner)

  • I joined to practice and stayed for the community. It’s healthy, active, and motivating.

    Hannah, United Kingdom (Intermediate)

  • The moderation really makes a difference. It’s one of the few places where I can practice without stress.

    Deniz, Turkey (Intermediate)

  • I made faster progress because I actually use French every day — messages, corrections, and voice chats every week.

How it works

Join, get set up, then practice. Start with text if you want — voice is never required.

  1. Join Écho (one click)

    Click the invite. A “start-here” channel guides you through roles, rules, and your first steps.

    No lengthy sign-up — you’re in right away.

  2. Pick your level

    Beginner / intermediate / advanced: you get the right channels so you don’t feel lost.

    You’ll only see what actually helps you.

  3. Practice your way

    Post a message, ask for a correction, ask a grammar question, or reply to the exercise of the day.

    It’s normal to start by just reading.

  4. Join voice (if you’d like)

    Voice sessions and activities happen regularly. You can listen first, then speak when you’re ready.

    Many people start by listening.
