Learn French, Think French
Check your level
If you feel lost with French, taking this first lesson will help you know where you stand in terms of level, how far you've got to go where you want to, and check that this learning method is for you.
01. Who is this for?
This is for anyone who is keen on checking their level in French. Ready to take on the next steps with reasons for taking lessons and where you believe your level of French is based on your background: how much French you have done, experience you had, how much time you've got now to fit in the French lessons.
There will be 4 short exercises. One for each skill to assess your reading, listening, talking, and reading.
02. Complete the quiz
03. Find out which level you're at
Once each exercise is completed, we will go back over your answers, and check whether with some indication you can correct yourself, if need be.
Just to clarify things: by "level" I mean the CECRL level as in the international standard guideline used to measure a language proficiency and skills. Essentially, this means:
- A1 (beginner): you know "bonjour", "merci", "une bière s'il vous plait").
- A2 (elementary): you can handle the basics (ordering a table, asking for help and saying "je ne parle pas français").
- B1 (intermediate): you can deal with most situations (getting by with strong core knowledge).
- B2 (quite advanced): you can deal with unpredictable situations without much hesitation.
- C1 (advanced): you can express yourself with a good fluency and spontaneously.
- C2 (expert): you're pretty much fluent, you understand everything and can say almost anything the way you would in your native language.
We talk about how to reach your objective, in how long and what types of exercises would work best based on your learning profile and personal preferences.
