Learn French online with Lingoda

If you’d like to learn French, Lingoda is a good place to start. When learning any language, there are two main methods: working with a teacher in a group or individual class, or self-study, using books, online resources and apps. The more time you invest in learning French, the quicker you will learn the language. There are four main elements to language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In order to learn a language well, or to become fluent, it’s a good idea to cover these four bases.

Working with a teacher provides a structure for language learning and a step-by-step process. This is particularly useful as a beginner learner, as your teacher will be able to guide you based on your language level and learning style.

For self-study, there is a wealth of knowledge online about how to learn French and what resources to use. There are also many language apps which help you to practice things like vocabulary and reading.

In general, French is regarded as one of the relatively easier languages for English speakers to learn. Nevertheless, the language can present some challenges, primarily because it’s a Romance language, whereas English is a Germanic language. As a result, there are some fundamental differences in structure and grammar, which can take some time to get used to.
When you first start to learn French, it’s perfectly normal to find some grammatical concepts challenging, while pronunciation can also be tough in those early stages. However, with the right effort and some structured online French classes, you’ll be surprised at how quickly you can progress.
It’s worth noting that French is a widely spoken language with a huge presence in cinema, literature and international diplomacy. This means it’s relatively easy to immerse yourself in the French language.

When you learn French online with Lingoda, you have the choice of two main ways of learning: the Flex course, which prioritises flexibility, and the Sprint course, which is a high-effort, high-reward model that’s all about challenging yourself and making rapid progress with your language learning.
All online French courses are taught by native-level, fully qualified teachers.

Our Flex course is the most popular option, catering to all learners. You can tailor your language journey to your own needs, with options to adjust the pace of your learning every four weeks. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn in small classes of up to five students or take part in one-on-one private classes.

Alternatively, the Lingoda Sprint course is perfect for the most committed learners or those who want to see rapid improvement. Live classes are available 24/7, and you can choose between 15 or 30 classes per month.

When you learn French with Lingoda, you can select the level you wish to learn at. For the French language, we currently offer the following language levels:

• French A1: Absolute Beginner – You’ll learn to use and recognise the most essential words and phrases.
• French A2: Beginner – You’ll learn to have simple interactions in French and explain matters of need.
• French B1: Intermediate – You’ll learn to hold everyday conversations and deal with common situations.
• French B2: Upper-Intermediate – You’ll communicate in French with a degree of fluency and understand complex text.

In other words, we can teach students from a point of zero knowledge of the French language right up to a stage where they can read, write and speak French comfortably and with spontaneity. Whether you’re learning casually as a hobby or need to develop functional French for everyday use, we’ve got you covered.

For new learners with no real knowledge of French or knowledge of only the most common words, it’s as easy as starting at Level A1 and progressing through the different stages. With that said, we’re very aware that many learners come to us with some existing knowledge of the language, so it’s important to jump in at the right level. f you already know your current language level, feel free to dive in at that level, and you’ll fit right in. If you’re unsure of your French language level, don’t worry, as we have the perfect solution:
Take the Lingoda French language placement test!
The test is simple to understand and takes just five minutes to complete. By the end of the test, we’ll be able to provide you with an estimate of your current language level, allowing you to learn French online without covering old ground.
