Test your French level

Take my interactive quizzes for all the CEFR French levels from A1 to C2

Placement Tests

Before starting the course, take the placement tests which will determine which level to start at. It is important to note that language learning is not a completely linear process so although you may have knowledge across more than one level, it is best to make sure you are confident in the lower level before moving up to the next one. At the end of each placement test, you will be advised which level is recommended for you.

These tests are designed primarily to determine your proficiency in French grammar. They reflect the content of our course, and will help you determine where to start.
