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.
