To help us determine which course is the right one for you, please take a few minutes to assess yourself by selecting a level from the table
below. This will lead you to a short evaluation.
Why do I need to take an evaluation?
This placement assessment was constructed to determine your level of French. Although it may look difficult at first sight, do not worry. It
has been designed to recreate realistic daily situations in France. It will help to place you in the course best suited to your abilities,
allowing you to improve quickly.
Pick a level and take the assessment, if you're unsure, start at A1 and work you way up.
