The Bonjour Shadowing Method

Bonjour is modeled on Penny's zero-dependency, client-side speaking architecture. It teaches French through muscle memory and vocal mimicry rather than boring flashcards.

Core Architectural Pillars:

  • Zero Backend Tracking: All progress, XP, streak history, and completed drills reside exclusively in your browser's local storage.
  • Dual Audio Engine: Leverages high-fidelity Web Speech Synthesis with natural French voices, with instant speed adjustment (1.0x native / 0.8x slow).
  • Phonetic Levenshtein Analysis: Matches your spoken audio against native IPA French patterns, accounting for contractions, silent consonants, and liaisons.
