Frequently asked questions.

No. HearSay is not affiliated with or endorsed by Didier FLE, and Édito A2 is a trademark of its owner. We write our own conversations and characters around each chapter's themes, and nothing is copied from the book.

No. Each course works without the book, with its own conversations and audio. If your class uses the book, the course for the chapter you're on goes alongside it.

Start with the chapter your class is on. If you're learning without a class, start with chapter 1. Each course uses the grammar from its chapter and the ones before it, apart from a few set phrases, so the courses work best in order.

HearSay sends you personalised audio language lessons as voice messages on WhatsApp. Each lesson is a real conversation between native speakers, built around a topic you choose and matched to your level.

You listen and speak along while walking, driving, or cooking. An AI tutor in the same chat answers your questions, explains grammar, and creates new lessons whenever you ask.

No. HearSay runs entirely inside WhatsApp, so there's nothing to install and no new app to remember. If your phone has WhatsApp, you're ready: your first lesson arrives in your chat a few minutes after you sign up.

HearSay uses the audio-lingual method: you learn by hearing real dialogues, speaking along, and actively recalling phrases, with spaced repetition bringing them back just as you're about to forget.

A good rule of thumb: once you get around 80% of a lesson's phrases right, you're ready to move on. Plenty of learners repeat a lesson a few times first, and that's completely fine.

Yes. You speak out loud in every lesson, repeating and recalling phrases before you hear the answer. You're never recorded during lessons, so you can practise comfortably even in public.

At the end of a lesson you can join an optional role-play call to act out the conversation with your AI tutor. Those calls are recorded, and personalised feedback on your speaking is coming soon.
