PRACTICE TESTS FOR CELPIP AND TCF • Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, in the format of the real test. • Practise one section or one part at a time, or sit a full mock exam with real timing. • Each exam is put together from our question bank, so you keep meeting new topics. • Reading and Listening are scored as soon as you finish. Writing and Speaking get AI feedback that shows what to fix next. • See your estimated CLB (CELPIP) or NCLC (TCF) level, and follow your progress for each skill. • Learning mode is untimed: translations are on, and you can tap any word you don't know. FRENCH PRACTICE, ONE SENTENCE AT A TIME • Real beginner (A1) French sentences. See the sentence and say what it means, see the meaning and write it in French, or just listen. • After each answer you get the full breakdown: every word, where the verb form comes from, its full conjugation and the rules the sentence uses. DECK REVIEW • Every word you save becomes a flashcard, and spaced repetition decides when it comes back. • One clear number tells you how many cards are waiting today. • Rate each card from Again to Easy, and the next review is scheduled for you. • Auto-Review reads your cards aloud, hands-free, while you cook, commute or rest your eyes. STORIES TO READ • Short stories from A1 to C2 in English and French, and story series told in seasons, episode by episode. • Tap any word to see what it means and save it to a deck, or have a paragraph read aloud. EASY ON THE EYES • Large, clear text throughout, with a text size you can change while you study. • Arabic and Persian read right to left, in a typeface made for them. Practice tests are free to take. On the free plan, AI scoring for Writing and Speaking has a monthly limit.
