Published

on

From the creators of SpanishDictionary.com and ingles.com, FrenchDictionary.com offers unparalleled French-language resources for free

SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IXL Learning, developer of personalized learning products used by millions of people globally, has launched FrenchDictionary.com, the premier French-English translator and dictionary. With an expert-authored dictionary, millions of accurate translations, and thousands of example sentences, FrenchDictionary.com provides learners with everything they need on one convenient platform to master French. This extensive collection of free, high-quality resources empowers learners of all ages and abilities to transcend linguistic barriers and gain a deeper understanding of francophone culture.

“With its rich cultural heritage and global reach, speaking French can open doors to countless opportunities,” said Debbie Chang, Vice President of Product at IXL Learning. “We’re proud to introduce FrenchDictionary.com and equip learners with the tools to communicate confidently in a language spoken around the world, whether they’re delving into Parisian fashion, enjoying poutine in Quebec, or discovering Madagascar’s unique wildlife.”

Parlez-vous français?
Spoken by more than 300 million people, French is one of the fastest-growing languages globally. In fact, it’s projected to join English among the top three most spoken languages by 2050. As cross-cultural interactions in business, education, and travel become more common, FrenchDictionary.com’s comprehensive translation and word-learning tools enable French and English speakers to connect effectively.

Each definition in the platform’s robust dictionary is meticulously crafted by French-English experts in lexicography and translation, ensuring learners understand the full semantic range of a word, including its subtleties and connotations. FrenchDictionary.com’s translator provides three distinct translations of each phrase or sentence that allow learners to compare expressions and ensure grammatical and contextual accuracy. Dictionary entries and translations are also accompanied by high-quality audio pronunciations so that learners can hear words in different contexts. This feature not only improves listening skills but also helps refine accents, better preparing learners for real-world interactions.

Thousands of French-English example sentences offer additional context. For instance, if a learner enters “food” into the translator, they’ll receive real-world examples that expand on the sentence, like “We need to buy some food.” This approach helps learners grasp the practical usage of vocabulary and the nuances of the French language.

Expertly crafted by a team you know and trust
FrenchDictionary.com was created by IXL Learning, the team of experts behind SpanishDictionary.com and ingles.com, two leading online resources for Spanish- and English-language learning. In 2023 alone, the two sites empowered 100 million people across the world to grow their English and Spanish skills with reliable, accurate, and easy-to-use resources.

Breaking Stereotypes: New 3Fun Survey Reveals Media’s Missteps in Polyamory Representation

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Despite growing visibility, only 11% of polyamorous individuals feel media portrayals align with their real-life experiences, according to a new survey by 3Fun, the leading dating app for open-minded singles and partners seeking like-minded connections. The survey, conducted among 1,312 3Fun users, highlights how media misrepresentation shapes public perceptions, reinforces stereotypes, and impacts user expectations on dating platforms like 3Fun.

Key Findings from the 3Fun Survey:

Limited Representation: Nearly 40% of respondents said they rarely see polyamorous relationships in mainstream media, while 17% reported never seeing them at all.Social Media Influence: Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are driving perceptions of polyamory for 40% of users, far surpassing traditional media like TV and film (10%).Accuracy Issues: Only 11% of respondents described media portrayals as “very accurate,” while 52% rated them as “rarely accurate” or “completely inaccurate.”Mixed Progress: While 39% believe portrayals have improved, 38% said they’ve noticed no change at all.Normalization vs. Stereotypes: Social media is a double-edged sword—40% think it normalizes polyamory, but 34% believe it reinforces harmful stereotypes.Global vs. Local Media: Over 21% noted global media tends to be more open-minded about polyamory than local outlets, which are often conservative or avoid the topic altogether.

“The data from this survey shows how far we still have to go in achieving authentic representation of polyamory in media and pop culture,” said Max Ma, Founder and CEO of 3Fun. “These portrayals don’t just shape public opinion—they directly influence how our users feel about their relationships and their ability to live openly. At 3Fun, we’re dedicated to creating a supportive community where everyone can explore their desires without fear of judgment.”

The Real Impact of Misrepresentation

Nearly half of respondents (47%) identified cultural and societal norms as the biggest barriers to societal acceptance of polyamory—more significant than concerns about media portrayal or visibility. However, respondents emphasized that better representation would lead to:

Easier conversations about polyamory (32%)Improved understanding within their social circles (21%)

Gigi Engle, certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and 3Fun’s resident intimacy expert, echoed this sentiment: “Representation matters. Media has the power to normalize relationships and dismantle stereotypes, but only when done thoughtfully. This survey shows a clear need for creators to approach polyamory with authenticity and care.”

Creating a World Where Love Knows No Limits

The findings highlight the role platforms like 3Fun play in bridging the gap between perception and reality. With over 10 million downloads and 3 million verified active users worldwide, 3Fun provides a safe, inclusive space for polyamorous individuals and couples to connect, explore, and thrive.
