Real-life coverage
Practice the situations beginners actually meet.
The mission library includes daily, travel, food, health, services, social, home, digital, review, and work contexts.
Progress without false credentials
Can-do evidence, not an exam claim.
Stage checks combine earlier skills
Retrieval and transfer missions ask learners to reuse sounds and phrases in integrated situations.
The path is not an official CEFR certification
Parle organizes practice around CEFR-aligned can-do outcomes but does not award accredited A2 status.
Phrase Match stays diagnostic
Speech recognition can point to words worth repeating; it does not calculate an accent score.
Course questions
How the A0-A2 path works
What does an A0-A2 French speaking course cover?
Parle starts with greetings, introductions, essential needs, and core sounds; then moves through daily life, services, travel, health, social, study, and work exchanges toward integrated A2 role-play.
How long is each Parle speaking mission?
Most missions are designed as short focused sessions. The curriculum records an estimated duration for each mission, generally seven to twelve minutes.
How does a mission work?
Every mission follows Hear, Shape, Say, Use: understand the exchange, focus on one sound, record a model phrase, and answer a real-life prompt aloud.
Does finishing the course certify A2 French?
No. The path uses A0-A2 can-do outcomes to organize practice and is not an official CEFR certification or accredited language exam.
