you will actually use. Tiny grammar doses when you need them, big clarity gains.
By week 4, you will introduce yourself, order food, and ask for directions without freezing.

and past events. Grammar appears when it is actually useful. By week 8, you will hold short
conversations, understand simple podcasts, and write basic emails.

on Amazon. Every book is explained in English: what level, what it covers, who it

Take the Level Quiz to know your true starting point.
Guessing your level wastes weeks on the wrong materials.
Then open the plan on this page that matches your score, download the cheatsheets
from your plan, and use the Learning Center when you want
an extra article. Three resources. One path.
How many resources do I really need?
Three core items: the Level Quiz, one study plan, and one cheatsheet per week.
Add one short article from the Learning Center when you
have 10 extra minutes. That is enough to reach A1 in 4 weeks or A2 in 8 weeks.
More resources equals more confusion. Stick with these and you will see real progress.
Save extra apps and books for when you are solid at A2.
Can I print the PDFs? 🖨️
Yes. All cheatsheets are print-friendly. Many learners print one sheet per week and
stick it on the fridge or next to the desk. Physical reminders work better than buried
downloads. You can also save PDFs on your phone and review them during commutes or
coffee breaks.
How long does it take to reach A1 or A2?
A0 to A1 takes about 4 weeks at 25 to 30 minutes daily using the plan on this page.
A1 to A2 takes 8 weeks with the same routine. If you can only manage 15 minutes a day,
expect 6 weeks for A1 and 12 weeks for A2. Quality and consistency matter more than
heroic 2-hour sessions that burn you out.
Are these resources completely free?
The Level Quiz, study plans, cheatsheets, and Learning Center articles are 100% free.
No email signup, no credit card. The red buttons lead to paid options: structured PDF guides
with audio (one-time purchase) and live lessons with Roger (€9 trial, then weekly sessions).
The Library lists books on Amazon you buy directly from Amazon
if you want them. You can absolutely reach A2 with just the free tools if you are disciplined.
What is the difference between this and Duolingo?
Apps like Duolingo are good for daily habit and vocabulary drilling, but they rarely explain
why French works the way it does. Our resources explain everything in English
with comparisons to English grammar, so you understand the logic instead of just guessing.
Use Duolingo for 10-minute daily drills if you like, but follow our study plans for real
structure. Apps are snacks. Our plans are meals.
Do I need a tutor to learn French?
Not at first. You can reach A1 and even A2 with self-study if you use good materials.
A tutor becomes valuable when you want pronunciation feedback, real-time conversation
practice, or accountability. If you are stuck at A1 for months or you freeze when trying
to speak, book a trial lesson. Self-study for structure. Tutor for practice.
How do I use the cheatsheets effectively?
Pick one cheatsheet per week. Print it or save it on your phone lock screen.
Read it once in the morning, then use the examples out loud during the day (while cooking,
walking, commuting). At the end of the week, test yourself: can you conjugate those verbs
without looking? If yes, move to the next sheet. If no, repeat the same sheet another week.
Master one before moving on.
I am a complete beginner. Where do I start?
Take the Level Quiz even if you think you will score A0.
It shows you what A1 looks like and removes the mystery. Then open the A0 to A1 study plan
and follow week 1. Download the Present Tense cheatsheet and focus on etre, avoir, and aller.
Read one beginner article in the Learning Center.
Do this for 25 minutes a day, 5 days a week. In 4 weeks you will be A1.
Are these resources good for adults, not just students?
These resources are designed specifically for busy adults who do not have
time for 2-hour sessions or complicated textbooks. The study plans assume 25 to 30 minutes
a day. The explanations skip academic jargon and focus on practical use: how to survive in
France, order food, ask questions, hold simple conversations.
What books should I buy to learn French? 📚
Check the Library for honest recommendations on French textbooks,
graded readers, and pronunciation guides on Amazon. Every book is explained in English:
what level it is for, what it covers, and who it helps most. Browse by level or skill
to find what fits your current needs.
Right. What are you waiting for?
Take the quiz. Know your level. Follow the plan.
If you want Roger in your corner too, the €9 trial is right there.
No pressure. But the longer you wait, the longer it takes.
