Common questions
What do I get on the free plan?
The first 3 A1 lessons, the 200 most common French words with spaced repetition, the placement test, and the verb conjugator. No credit card required, no time limit.
I already know some French. Do I have to start from scratch?
No. Take the adaptive placement test on your first login. It assesses your level in a few minutes and sets your starting point automatically. You skip content you already know.
What is DELF A1?
DELF A1 is the entry-level French proficiency exam recognized by the French Ministry of Education. It tests basic everyday French: greetings, simple questions, short written and spoken exchanges. Fréquence includes DELF-style quizzes throughout the course to prepare you for it.
What is the best way to learn French before moving to France?
Focus on the vocabulary you'll actually use daily, not textbook filler, plus enough grammar to form real sentences and enough listening practice to understand native speed. Fréquence's frequency-ranked words and native audio are built for exactly this.
How long does it take to learn French?
Most learners reach conversational B2 level in 10 to 12 months of consistent daily study, about 20 to 30 minutes a day. Fréquence's frequency-ranked vocabulary and spaced repetition are designed to get there efficiently.
Does Fréquence work for complete beginners?
Yes. Fréquence starts from absolute zero with the Fondations unit: the French alphabet, basic pronunciation, and the 200 most common words. No prior French knowledge is required.
Why is the annual plan the best choice?
At €12.42/month it costs less than one private tutoring hour. Most learners reach B2 in 10 to 12 months of consistent daily study. One year is exactly what you need.
What happens when the 200 founding spots are gone?
The Founding Lifetime plan closes permanently. No second round, no waiting list. It exists to reward early believers. Once those 200 people have claimed it, it's gone.
Do you prepare for the examen civique (2026)?
Yes. Fréquence includes a full examen civique preparation in the official 2026 format: 40 questions, 45 minutes, 80% to pass. The bank holds 333 questions with explained answers across the 5 official themes, plus a timed mock exam. It covers naturalisation as well as the carte de résident (CR) and carte de séjour pluriannuelle (CSP).
Is the civique content based on official sources?
Yes. Every question is written from the Livret du citoyen (Ministère de l'Intérieur) and the official knowledge-question lists (CR and CSP), covering valeurs de la République, institutions, droits et devoirs, histoire et géographie, and vie en société.
Can I practise speaking with real people?
Yes. The live conversation club lets you practise speaking with real people in guided group sessions. It's the part apps can't replace.
Is this better than Duolingo or Anki?
Fréquence replaces both: structured grammar and listening lessons (Duolingo can't do this) plus the proven SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm (Anki without the configuration pain). One coherent path, A0 to C1.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. Every paid plan comes with a 3-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason, you'll receive a full refund. No questions asked.
One app. One method.
