How it works

Read any sport article in French — at your level.

Convert any sport article from any publication you already read and get it rewritten in French at A1, A2, and B1 simultaneously. This is real journalism, adapted to your exact level, not toy sentences or simplifications far removed from real news.

Sports journalism is an excellent entry point for French learners. The vocabulary is passionate, repetitive, and rich in high-frequency words: match, équipe, victoire, défaite, entraîneur. You already know the sport — which removes the content barrier and lets you focus on language.

French sports culture is extraordinarily broad. Football, rugby, cycling (the Tour de France), tennis (Roland-Garros), and the Olympics all generate huge volumes of high-quality journalism. L'Équipe alone has been publishing daily since 1946, giving learners an almost infinite reading resource.
