Learn French online, one level at a time
Vocalyra's French program follows the CEFR from A1 to C2. You start at the level your placement test suggests and progress through lessons, quizzes and stage exams.
What you get
One CEFR path, A1 to C2
Lessons are organised by CEFR level with a quiz at the end of each lesson and a stage exam before you move on. The pass mark is 80%.
Placement assessment
A placement test estimates your starting level so you don't repeat what you already know.
Daily practice built in
Vocabulary with flashcards and audio, verb conjugation drills and dictation practice matched to your level.
Live group classes
50-minute live classes with a tutor, available as a monthly plan or bundled with Self-Study.
How the French path works, from placement to progression
You begin with a placement assessment. It estimates your starting CEFR level, so a learner who already reads comfortably does not spend weeks on greetings. Your course starts at that level; lower levels stay open for review.
Each level is split into short lessons. A lesson ends with a quiz, and a stage exam closes each level. Both need 80% to pass, which keeps progress honest: you move up when you can show the skill, not when a timer runs out.
What a typical study week can look like
Your learning debrief then shows which topics are solid and which need another pass, with a link to the lesson or drill that fixes each weak spot.
- Three or four lessons at your current level, each finished with its quiz.
- Short vocabulary sessions with flashcards and audio, grouped by topic.
- Verb conjugation drills matched to the tenses of your level.
- One or two dictations to train listening and spelling together.
- Optional: one or more live group classes to use the week's material in conversation.
Who this suits, and who it may not
- A good fit if you want structure, clear levels and regular checks on what you have really learned.
- A good fit if you study from home around work or family and want to add live speaking time when you are ready.
- Probably not the right fit if you only want casual conversation with no lessons or checks.
- Not a replacement for an official exam: Vocalyra levels are learning milestones, not certificates.
Who it's for
- Beginners starting from zero
- Learners who stalled at an intermediate level
- Anyone preparing to live or work in a French-speaking country
