My Words expands language learning: French language support and new features

App updates

My Words now supports learning French for English and Russian speakers, and offers new personalization options: custom translations, pronunciation speed settings, and custom phrases in speaking practice mode.

Learning a new language is much more effective when the process feels natural, flexible, and personalized. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a major My Words update — with French language support and a range of long-awaited improvements.

French language support is here

You can now learn French in My Words if your native language is English or Russian. At the same time, French speakers can now learn English and Russian with the app.

This update opens new opportunities for learners, travelers, students, and professionals who want to improve their communication skills across three major languages. Whether you’re starting from scratch or expanding your vocabulary, My Words now offers an even more convenient multilingual learning experience.

Add your own translations before word processing
