Elementary French lessons (A1-A2)
You already have the basics but hesitate as soon as you have to speak? The elementary level turns that knowledge into real everyday French. With a native, qualified teacher, by video call, you learn to describe what you did, talk about your plans and hold a simple conversation without freezing.
What you'll be able to do
- Describe a past event: your weekend, a trip, an experience
- Talk about your plans and what you're going to do
- Chat about familiar topics: work, hobbies, housing, health
- Understand simple everyday messages, announcements and conversations
- Write short, clear messages: an email, an invitation, a reply to an ad

Frequently asked questions
How do I know I am at the elementary level?
You can introduce yourself and form simple sentences, but telling a story, following a fast exchange or speaking in the past is still hard. The free level test places you in a few minutes.
I learned French at school a long time ago: where should I start?
That's the typical elementary profile: the basics are there, just buried. Your teacher quickly brings them back, then helps you build spoken confidence. If you've truly forgotten everything, the complete-beginner level is a better fit.
Can I prepare for DELF A1 or A2?
Yes. The elementary level matches DELF A1 and A2 exactly. Your teacher can steer lessons towards the exam tasks.
Are lessons one-to-one?
Yes, private lessons are one-to-one with your teacher, who tailors each session to your level and goals. Group classes by level are also available.
