WHAT IS MY LEVEL?
What does A1, A2 mean? By clicking on this link, you will discover the meaning of each level: language levels
New students: We ask all new students to take a level test first. After this test you will know exactly what your level is and which French course is best for you.
If you are a beginner, you do not need to take a level test, you can enrol directly in an A1.1 course.
