Is this French course really free?

Yes. All 45 lessons — A0 → A1 complete plus the start of A2 — the review tests and the final A1 exam are free and need no account, no sign-up and no payment.

Do I need to know English to use this course?

No. Every French word and sentence shows its meaning in English and in your own language. Choose from about 100 languages, including Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Bengali, Spanish, Indonesian, Turkish and Chinese.

What level does the course reach?

It takes a complete beginner (CEFR A0) to a solid CEFR A1 level, then continues into the first three A2 parts: the passé composé, the imperfect and the simple future.

Does it teach French pronunciation?

Yes. Pronunciation is taught from lesson 1: the alphabet, vowels and accents, silent letters, nasal vowels, the French R and U sounds, liaison and intonation — with audio, slow versions and mouth-position coaching.
