A day with Osmo.
One day, start to finish. About 20 minutes, whenever suits you.
Illustrative Recreated, simplified screens and an example learner. The first orange cover is a lightly edited capture from the iPhone beta.
Before day one
First, a conversation about you.
Osmo starts by asking about your life, the people you want to talk with and what you’d love to do in the language. Before it ends, you get one phrase made for your own situation.
Recreated screen. Example content.
Recreated screen of the onboarding conversation. Osmo says: Welcome, Tyrique. Let’s start with you. What made you want to learn French? Below are a Hold to answer button and a Type instead link.
Still before day one
Your goal. One year.
Bring a goal, or just your curiosity: Osmo turns what you shared into one goal for the year ahead, and you confirm it or change it. From wherever you start, each day’s teaching and practice works toward it.
- TodayWhere you start
- Day by dayEach day builds on the last
- One yearThe goal you chose
Recreated screen. Example content.
Recreated screen. Osmo asks: What would you like to be able to do a year from now? The example goal reads: Feel part of the conversation with my partner’s family at Sunday lunch. Below is a Confirm my goal button.
Saturday, day one
Your day starts when you do.
Osmo greets you and waits: nothing is prepared until you tap Start today. Then it builds your day around your goal, today’s focus first, and you’re free to leave while it works.

The orange Home cover from the beta says Bonjour, Tyrique. Ready when you are, with a Start today button. Then two recreated screens: Preparing your practice, with Today’s plan being prepared, and the open day, with Plans for Sunday lunch under Start here while Vocabulary, Pronunciation, Reading and Listening are still preparing.
Today’s focus
One thing, taught live.
A short spoken lesson set in a moment from your life: Osmo explains in English, shows you the French, and you hold to speak. If you get stuck, help comes right away, a hint first and then the words.
Recreated screen. Example content.
Recreated screen of Today’s focus in French, 4:12 left. Osmo asks: How would you say your plan for Sunday lunch? Start with “Dimanche, on va…”. Your answer: Dimanche, on va déjeuner chez ses parents. Below are Hold to speak, Pause session and End session.
After the session
Osmo tells you what it heard.
After a session, Osmo tells you what went well, often in your own words, and the one thing to work on next. It keeps what you said, so tomorrow can build on it.
Recreated screen. Example content.
Recreated screen of Home after the session. What I heard: you told me your Sunday plan in one full sentence, Dimanche, on va déjeuner chez ses parents. After one hint, you found “Il y aura” and used it. Next, add a time to your plan, like “à midi”. Below, under Start here: Vocabulary, Weekend plans.
Then, your practice
Short practice, picked for today.
Around today’s focus, Osmo picks a few short experiences, about 20 minutes in all.
Why it’s there: Osmo picks the mix, so you never have to plan your own lessons.
Recreated screen. Example content.
Recreated screen of Home. Under Start here: Vocabulary, Weekend plans, with words to say who’s coming to Sunday lunch, and when. Below, Today’s focus is done, and Pronunciation, Reading, Listening and Journal are ready, with Reading open on a Start reading button.
Reading and Listening
First, understand it.
Short conversations to read and to hear, in everyday French.
Why it’s there: lines you understand can come back later, for you to say.
Recreated screen. Example content.
Recreated screen of a Reading card, Sunday at the market: a short dialogue in French at a market stall. One line is tapped and shows its English: For six. We’re having a family lunch on Sunday. Below are Tap a line to see it translated and an I’ve read it button.
Vocabulary and Pronunciation
Then, say it out loud.
A few words used in your own sentences, and one sound of French, until it lands.
Why it’s there: knowing a word isn’t the same as saying it.
Recreated screen. Example content.
Recreated screen before a Vocabulary session, 5 minutes. Today’s words for Weekend plans: inviter, apporter, le dessert, midi. Then three steps: Osmo uses each word out loud; you use them back, one quick exchange each; the tricky one gets extra reps. A Start button.
Culture & news and Journal
Make it yours.
A real news story to react to, or your own day to talk through.
Why it’s there: a language sticks when it’s about real things.
Recreated and simplified screen. Example content.
Recreated and simplified screen of a Culture and news story about a heatwave in Toulouse, told in English with French words, with ways to react in French and the question Osmo will ask: Is air conditioning common where you live? Tell me in French. A Talk about it, 5 min button.
Saturday evening
Finish, and see your day.
When you’re done, tap Finish for today. If you said something on your own, Osmo puts it first, then a short story of your day and what you did.
Recreated and simplified screen. Example content.
Recreated and simplified screen of the evening review: Bonsoir, Tyrique. Your own line, Dimanche, on va déjeuner chez ses parents. Then a two-sentence story of the day, and What you did: Today’s focus, Vocabulary with Weekend plans, and Reading.
Any time
Osmo remembers what you said.
Notes holds a letter from Osmo about your recent sessions, quoting you, and a growing list of what you can say on your own.
Recreated screen. Example content.
Recreated screen of Notes: a letter from Osmo quoting your line, Next, together: Who’ll be at the table, a Talk about this with Osmo button, and What you can say now, with Dimanche, on va déjeuner chez ses parents.
Sunday morning
Tomorrow starts from today.
Your next day opens in the morning, and Osmo can let you know. The cover remembers what you said, and when you tap Start, today’s focus builds on what came before.
Recreated and simplified screen. Example content.
Recreated and simplified screen of Sunday’s orange cover: Bonjour, Tyrique. Dimanche, on va déjeuner chez ses parents. You said this on Saturday, on your own. A Start today button.
A new day.
A little more world.
What we believe
You can learn this language. It just has to come to you, every day.
The ability is already in you.
What most people never had is the right support: practice, guidance and someone who knows them, every day.
The practice should come to you.
Not another class to book or app to figure out. Your day is ready when you are, built around your life.
You should be guided, not tested.
No quizzes to pass. Osmo sets the scene, shows you, lets you speak and explains why, until the language becomes yours.
Try it yourself
Learning experiences.
Understand something new. Learn how to use it.
One idea, explained in English, shown in the language you’re learning, then your turn to say it. Set in your life, not a textbook’s.
Inside a live lesson.
“J’ai visité” means “I visited.” “Je vais visiter” means “I’m going to visit.” What would you like to visit tomorrow?
Demain, j’ai visité un musée.
Demain, je vais visiter un musée.
You’ve chosen the place; now we’re putting the visit in the future. Try again, starting with “Demain, je vais…”
La clim, oui ou non?
Toulouse reached 37.2°C on 4 September 2026. France’s heatwaves have revived a debate: how should we keep cool?
Health and comfort matter. So do energy bills, housing and the environment.
Je comprends, mais…
I understand, but…Is AC common where you live? Give a reason for your view in French.

A little clearer.
Start with the u in rue. Listen, then try it aloud.
See a guided retry
Let’s stay with that vowel for one more try. Listen to “rue” again, then say just the word.
La rue est calme.
The street is quiet.
A new word.
Something you can say.
Je prévois un voyage.
I’m planning a trip.
What are you planning for this weekend? Try a sentence with prévoir.
See an example exchange
Je prévoir une visite au musée.
Je prévois une visite au musée.
You’ve made a plan of your own. After je, use prévois. Try your sentence once more.
Which way from here?
Listen to the conversation, then answer two questions.
Where does the person want to go?
After going straight, which way?
What you heard
- Excusez-moi, où est la gare ?
- Tout droit, puis à gauche.
A change of plans.
Avant de venir passer le week-end chez moi, ma mère m’avait envoyé trois adresses de musées. Pourtant, en arrivant, elle a laissé le programme dans sa valise et m’a demandé de lui montrer mon quartier. Nous avons marché sans nous presser, puis pris un café près de chez moi. Elle a posé beaucoup de questions sur mes voisins et presque aucune sur les monuments.
What seems most important to the mother?
How did the visit differ from the plan?
One moment worth keeping.
What caught your attention today?
Aujourd’hui,
j’ai découvert…
A place, a taste, or a conversation. Start with one moment.
