Questions
About the free courses
75 courses · 255 lessons · 33 to 95 min per course
Are the courses really free?
Yes. All 75 courses, the level test and the certificates are free, with no account and no card. We offer them so you can discover our teaching method; if you want to go faster, our teachers offer paid live classes and exam preparation.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Your progress, scores and certificates are saved in this browser. If you change device or clear your browser data, your progress starts again.
Which level should I start with?
Take the free level test (about 10 minutes): it estimates your CEFR level and recommends the courses that fit you. Complete beginners can start directly with “First Steps in French”.
Do these courses prepare for the TCF Canada and the TEF Canada?
Yes: five levelled courses for each exam (listening, reading, writing, speaking, grammar and vocabulary), each from A1 to C2, with exam-style questions and tasks. To reach a precise CLB target, our teachers add full timed simulations and personal correction.
How does the speaking practice work?
In speaking activities you say the sentence aloud; your browser’s speech recognition (Chrome, Edge, Safari) shows what it understood, word by word. Nothing is recorded or sent to us.
