One test, every skill
Answer across every skill
The four areas of a real French exam: grammar and reading, then listening clips at your level, then a written and a spoken sample. Covering all four is what makes the placement accurate.
Get your level on our ladder
Not a percentage. A CEFR band mapped to our six course levels, with honest feedback on every skill: what you did well, what to fix, and your writing and speaking corrected sentence by sentence.
Join the right class
Your result names the exact course to take and its next start date, shown in your own timezone. One course, one date, no guessing.
Most free French tests are a grammar quiz. This one is the real thing.
All four skills
Grammar, listening, writing and speaking, the same areas the TEF and TCF grade.
Corrections, not just a score
Your writing and speaking come back corrected sentence by sentence.
It adapts to you
Answer well and the questions get harder, so the result is precise.
Free, in minutes
Six to eight minutes, no account, and the result is instant.
A plan, not a score
A number tells you nothing. Your result places you on the ladder, tells you which class you would walk into on day one, and shows when it starts on your own clock. If you land between two levels, the test places you where you will keep up, because a class you cannot follow costs you a term.
- Your CEFR band, from A0 to B1+
- The exact course and plan that fits it
- The next start date, in your timezone
- Feedback on every skill, with your writing and speaking corrected
- An email follow-up with the plan for your level
The French levels, explained
The test places you on the CEFR scale, the same one the TEF, the TCF and our six course levels run on. Here is what each band actually means.
| CEFR band | Our level | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | Level 1 — Complete beginner | Recognise a few French words you have seen before |
| A1 | Level 2 — Early beginner | Introduce yourself, your family and your daily routine in the present tense |
| A1+ | Level 3 — Advanced beginner | Ask questions three ways and order in a restaurant or a shop |
| A2 | Level 4 — Lower intermediate | Talk about your plans, near and far, with both futures |
| A2+ | Level 5 — Intermediate | Tell what happened, with the passé composé and the imparfait in the right places |
| B1 | Level 6 — Upper intermediate | Give your opinion, give reasons, and say what you would do |
| B1+ | Ready for exam preparation | Use the subjunctive after the expressions that ask for it |
Testing for Canadian immigration?
Most Express Entry candidates need CLB 7 on the TEF Canada or TCF Canada, which sits above B1 on this ladder. Your result shows the distance honestly: how much French stands between you and the score, and which course covers it.
Starting from zero, that road is about twelve months. Already somewhere in the middle, and it is shorter. Either way it starts with knowing where you stand today.
