    How it works

    Three simple steps, built around one idea: every mistake should teach you something you remember on the next service.

    1. Listen

    A natural French voice reads a sentence aloud, at a pace you control. Replay it as many times as you need.

    2. Write

    You type the full sentence yourself. Writing — not tapping multiple-choice — is what trains accurate spelling and grammar.

    3. Understand

    You get an instant correction showing each mistake, the right form, and the rule behind it — in clear explanations, so it sticks.

    With a free account, your recurring mistakes are turned into short personalised lessons and exercises — so you work on your weak points.

    Made for the way chefs actually write

    Real kitchen French

    Menus, recipes, prep lists, supplier orders and food-safety records — the writing of a working brigade.

    For chefs trained abroad & students

    Whether you trained abroad and are joining a French kitchen, or you study at a culinary school, the levels adapt to where you are now.

    France, Switzerland, Belgium, Quebec

    You practise standard written French — the spelling and grammar that count in any French-speaking kitchen.

    Much of French culinary vocabulary is already used in kitchens worldwide — but writing it correctly is another matter. A misspelled menu or an accent in the wrong place looks unprofessional to a French chef and to your guests.

    DictéePro trains exactly that. You write full French sentences drawn from real kitchen situations, and every mistake comes back with the rule that explains it. Over a few weeks of short sessions, menu writing and prep notes stop being a struggle.
