Learn French
before the
invasion

The mothership orders specimens in French. You fly the saucer. Beam up the right one — no flashcards, no lessons, a real arcade game where the language is how you aim.

Free to start: the tutorial, your first mission and the whole lunar training range.

Descend through five sectors

Every place teaches its own French — the scroll is the invasion map.

Le Pâturage — painted map
Sector 01 · First contact

Le Pâturage

the pasture

Cows, pigs, and one very angry farmer. Learn your first nouns by beaming up whatever the mothership orders — la vache, le cochon, le cheval — while the herd runs for it.

Nouns · Colours · Counting
Le Marché — painted map
Sector 02 · Supply raid

Le Marché

the market

Produce, prices and a vendor who wants answers. Numbers arrive with euros attached — «Ça coûte cinq euros» means something when you are stealing the tomatoes.

Food · Prices · Numbers
La Ville — painted map
Sector 03 · Jammed signals

La Ville

the town

Something in this sector shreds transmissions. Orders arrive scrambled into torn fragments — drag the sentence back together to decode what command actually wants.

Vehicles · Word order · Decoding
Le Café — painted map
Sector 04 · Field rations

Le Café

the café

Croissants under glass, a waiter with opinions. Whole phrases now — specimens talk, and any one of them answering the mothership's question is a valid target.

Ordering · Questions · Phrases
La Plage — painted map
Sector 05 · Shore leave

La Plage

the beach

Parasols, sandcastles and a suspicious number of seagulls. Seaside French under a holiday sun — and a pédalo with your name on it.

Beach life · Sizes · The pédalo
La Base Lunaire — painted map
Training annex · Always free

La Base Lunaire

the moon base

Every mechanic on free vocabulary before you ever touch French soil: colours, counting, jammed orders, speaking — and a cadet's exam with a drone to steal.

Free forever

Speak French

Confirm captures over the radio. Say «la vache» and the mothership pays a bonus — stay silent and the game plays exactly the same.

Decode the scrambled sentence

Jammed orders arrive as torn fragments. Rebuild the French sentence to read what command wants — syntax, learned by hand.
