Welcome! This page gathers our most helpful tools to learn French clearly and quickly. Everything is explained in simple English with short steps and practical examples you can use the same day. No confusing terminology, no overwhelming lists—just focused resources that actually move you forward.
Start with the French Level Quiz (A0–B1). You’ll see your level instantly, then jump to a study plan and one cheatsheet. No overload—just one clear next step. Whether you’re starting from zero or brushing up after years away, you’ll know exactly where you stand and what to do next.
These light plans keep you consistent without burning you out. Each week gives you specific goals and clear tasks—no vague advice like “practice daily.” If a week feels heavy, reduce the time and keep the habit. Repetition beats intensity every time. The plans are designed for busy adults who want real progress, not endless drills.
Start from absolute zero with greetings, core verbs (être, avoir, aller), and simple questions you’ll actually use. Tiny grammar doses when you need them, big clarity gains. By week 4, you’ll introduce yourself, order food, and ask for directions without freezing. Perfect for nervous beginners who need a gentle but effective launch.
Get your starting level →Build real beginner fluency with practical themes: food, city navigation, family, hobbies, and past events. Grammar appears when it’s actually useful—like passé composé for telling stories or comparatives for shopping. By week 8, you’ll hold short conversations, understand simple podcasts, and write basic emails. Ideal for learners who survived A1 and want to feel confident in daily situations.
Check if you’re A1 or A2 →Choose one cheatsheet for the week. Print it or save it on your phone and use the examples out loud—this is not decoration for your desk. Each PDF is one page, packed with high-value info, zero fluff. Focus on mastering one sheet before grabbing the next. Quality over quantity always wins.
Clear conjugation tables for the 15 most frequent verbs, plus short drills you can say while making coffee. Covers être, avoir, aller, faire, and the verbs you’ll use 80% of the time. No obscure vocabulary, just the core that unlocks real sentences.
Download PDF ⤓Simple rules with clean visuals and quick self-checks to avoid common traps. Learn when to use le/la/les, un/une/des, and why adjectives change. This single page will save you from 90% of beginner mistakes—use it every time you write or speak for the first month.

50 multiple-choice questions testing grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension. Takes 10–12 minutes, gives you an instant CEFR score (A0, A1, A2, or B1), and tells you exactly which study plan to follow next. No email required, no signup wall—just honest assessment.
Start the Level Quiz ▶️The 25/5 routine that actually works: 25 minutes of focused study (one task, no phone), then 5 minutes to review what stuck. Print one sheet per week and tick off each session. Seeing your streaks builds momentum better than any app notification. Simple, physical, effective.
Download Checklist ⤓Short, real texts with clear English support and quick comprehension checks—all inside the Learning Center, your central hub for articles, quizzes, cultural insights, and practical explanations. Each article takes 5–10 minutes to read and gives you phrases you’ll hear in actual conversations, not textbook fantasies. Perfect for building reading confidence without dictionary overload.
Topics include French culture, daily life, travel essentials, regional differences, and useful phrases you’ll actually hear in Paris, Lyon, or Montreal. Every article explains grammar points in context, gives you pronunciation tips, and ends with a mini quiz so you know what stuck. Start with A1-level articles and work up—no shame in reading “easy” content if it builds your foundation.
