I’m A1, but understand a bit of A2, I’m trying to reach at least B2, because I want to study in France. Your videos help me a lot. I’ve only watched your 6 lessons and now I’m on A1! Love ur videos!
I found the C2 sentence to be easier to understand than the C1. In general I find technical topics in French far easier to understand than material intended for children.
That makes sense cause with elevated French the vocabulary and syntax are actually closer to elevated English. Daily conversational French is simpler French but harder for English speakers to understand cause the similarities aren’t there. It’s the same for French people learning English. They can understand an intellectual lecture but fail with cartoons in English.
I've been doing French lessons steadily for 3 1/2 years on Duolingo and I've been wondering how far I've come so far. In Duolingo I'm a couple units shy of section 6. After taking your tests, my best score was 7/10 correct in the B1 level. Thank you for offering these tests
@@jzam3220 I've had a couple setbacks. Twice the tree was restructured and reset my progress in that time so I had to catch back up. Plus I was working at different paces than I am now. Language learning was never a strong suit for me so I've been taking things slowly and cautiously to make sure it sticks. I'm sure many others would be much further along in that time than I am.
I took 4 years of french in HS, but that was years ago. I'm now looking to get back into language learning. I scored well on A1 and A2 but failed B2, so now I know where to start, thanks!
For the past 5 months am learning French, but today I find out that am still on A2 level, but I wouldn't give up, I believe it won't take me more than 3yrs to get the basic
I studied french for four years (two at high school, two afterwards), and I dont remember anything. But when I went to France, after a few weeks, I understood almost everything!! (It was more difficult for me to talk, though). Studying and learning french to talk it fluently definitely generates my enthusiasm.
Watch out, because we don’t really say « je ne suis pas natif ». It is very off. We would more likely say « je ne suis pas né dans un pays francophone ». « Natif » isn’t a word that we link to any language: we only do that in english.
Love learning French from you Alexa....................I found my reading level much better than my speaking level........May be a year in Paris will help...................Bisou Bisou !
I have studied to B1 level at University, about to start my Upper Intermediate course in October. I really had to concentrate to understand the B2 sentence! Thanks for all of your videos, they're very useful revision for me for the summer.
I took an formal test and I'm c1, however, i totally understood the c2 sentence she said and also I find it very easy to understand French television. The only problem i have is understanding French movies as they speak so quickly
It's been almost three months since I touched any French. I learned it for about three months back in 2019. Got 10/10 in A0, 9/10 in A1, 8/10 in A2 and 4/10 in B1, and then I stopped there. I feel like I have definitely forgotten lots of grammar and can't remember many words. Will definitely check out your videos if I want to re-learn French.
Many thanks for the explanation. I was learning French on Duo and was trying to understand which level I stand at this moment. Now I figured out my level. I am now in level B1 and would be much appreciative if you could suggest me how best I could study to reach C1 level. Merci encore!
This was very useful! I'm one of those people who didn't learn French formally. I took Pimsleur levels and that got me to a nice conversational level, but my reading and writing sucks. A French professor administered informal DELF test on me for B1 and I passed (68.5 points). Still, this is not bad for the few months of work : ) When I took your tests, I scored 8/10 in B1, I scored 7/10 in B2, 6/10 in C1 and 4/10 in C2. I guess it shows that the language is flowing, and it does not progress linearly. The way I differentiate the levels is how long you can speak about one subject. In B1 maybe a minute, or two. In B2, three to five minutes, if known subject maybe 10. For C level this can go on, half an hour or so, it can be a debate. Thank you again. In particular, I liked your video comparing imparfait and conditionel.
I can put myself into B1 category, no doubt. BUT, I can understand a bit of all sentences in all the levels....that confuses me somehow. Especially, the C2 level sentence was very clear to me. Thanks for these useful tips MRS. ALEXA !!! BONJOUR ET MERCI BEAUCOUP !! U CAN LEAVE A VALUABLE REPLY ON MY COMMENT. LOVE FROM INDIA !!!
I live in Trinidad and Tobago. I am appreciative of your lessons and will assess myself shortly. U are a relevation,i am self taught in French simply because of your educational videos.C'est parfait! Merci beaucoup!
I took the test A0 10/10, A1 10/10, A2 9/10, B1 8/10, B2 6/10, C1 6/10, and C2 4/10. It felt uplifting to see the B level scores as I’ve been stuck at A2 level for 15 years because of my pronunciation.
In understanding I'm literally c2 Reading i couldn't tell for sure but i know I'm somewhere b1 or b2. In speaking I'm pretty sure I'm debutant 😂😂 My vocabulary.. I know around 10 000 words. I only hoped my speaking was better. Also grammar I've tested many times and most of the time my level turned out to be B2 (although there were some occasions were my level was b1)
I got 6 in A2 level. I feel accomplished to be honest as it has only been 3 weeks since I started learning French. I am improving myself every single day. Thank you so much Alexa for your amazing lessons. You are honestly an absolutely awesome teacher. Sending you lots of love from India 😊🇮🇳♥️🇫🇷
I feel like I'm at different levels depending on my listening or reading/writing. I feel my reading is B1 but my listening is A1. I still really struggle in understanding spoken french.
Yes, this is very typical of most learners, you're not the only one! I had the same problem with English back when I was a child - brilliant level in reading but couldn't understand a complex sentence from a native speaker... It's probably only a matter of exposure at this point, good luck :)
I'm in exactly the same boat as you on that. But I tell myself that I until I can understand written french there's no chance that I'd be able to understand spoken french, so I'm concentrating on the written side first!
Hi Alex. You are the best teacher and I'm going to level three in French like an wouldn't know that much with your videos thank you because I learn so much so much French
I speak fluent Spanish and a2 french, but I have noticed that at c2 it’s easier to understand the words because more complicated words are usually similar to the equivalent words in another language from the same language family.
I did french immersion from Kindergarten till grade 12, so I feel like depending on the skill my level fluctuates. Grammar is defiantly my weakest... at least when speaking its harder to notice conjugation mistakes because many endings sound the same. My comprehension is quite good and if there is a word I don't know, I can usually understand what is going on due to the surrounding words. I do notice that when it comes to vocabulary, if the word doesn't come up in conversation often (ex. a doorknob), I may forget it, but as stated earlier, I can understand based on context. Similar story with reading. I also feel like because my social studies and sciences were in french, I can understand that specialized vocabulary and discuss politics in French. We learned French idioms but I haven't memorized them... I rarely use Idioms in English anyways. On the B1 and B2 quizzes I tend to make conjugation mistakes, but on the C2 level quiz I got 8/10 because I can understand what is going on... so yeah... all that to say my level is mixed haha
Having had some sleep, I have gone through and done each test. I only had one level perfect which was actually A1 !!! My results: A0=9/10, A1=10/10, A2=9/10, B1=8/10, B2=8/10, C1=5/10, C2=6/10.... What does this tell me? I was comfortable with B2 and although I made a couple of mistake, these would polish out within weeks, I'm sure. For both C levels, in all fairness I was having 'educated guesses' and scored what I'd expect from that strategy. That said, personally: I didn't do it (French) at school - I learned to speak, read, write and actually (as an aside) _think_ in French in my later teenage years - _getting and having a French girl friend certainly helped_ - and it's been more than 40 years now since I last actively set about studying it. I really am astounded with myself in all fairness in what I *can* remember. The only practice my French has really had in the last 4 decades has been the annual Mediterranean holiday with me armed with a small dictionary (which has been invariably unused). I can remember, for example, asking someone what the name for a cloud was while discussing the likelihood of rain at a roadside eatery (having to describe a cloud _as there wasn't one in the sky at that time_ ) when driving back from Bayonne up the west coast, intending to cover another 300km that day. It polishes up each time I go and the speed at which I can both speak and listen tunes in. At some point I will have to join Alexa's course to get some help on the bits that are missing and go and sit a recognised exam - but right now I've been learning Spanish about 20 months (with the last 15 totally solo out of books & online videos because the adult education classes have been closed). I want my Spanish to be better than it currently is so I can enjoy going there on holiday too. _I have not been out of the country (UK) for around 3 years like most of the rest of you because of Covid_ I can see that I will continue the Spanish until I am happy I have and will retain it (ie like my French is now), go and have a bash at Italian _because having decent working knowledge of French & Spanish should greatly assist its acquisition too,_ then come back to French _pour me perfectioner._ That sounds like a plan...

bonjour Alexa , this information has been very informative and answered my question that I had thought to my self and I wrote it all down so I can watch my progress grow . I am in level A0 , I t really made me feel good when you gave that example of the A1 on the sentence illustrates and I total read it and understood it except for one line . merci ,Alexa
Bonsoir encore une fois, Alexa. Ayant regarde la video, je crois je sois B2 ou C1. Je suis tres, tres, tres rouille et je sais que j'ai oublie beaucoup aussi. J'ai apris parler, lire et ecrire la langue des francais lorsque j'avais seize ans - il y a plus que quarante ans, parce que j'avais une petite-amie francaise. Il n'assist pas aussi que le clavier de mon ordi n'a pas les cles avec les accents. Aussi, je manque de practiquer mais il me revient quand je me vais en France quelques jours en vacances. Ayant explique, a ce moment, je suis en train d'essayer apprendre parler, lire, ecrire at parler en espagnol aussi. Je l'ai commence apprendre il y a deux annees(en novembre de 2019). Je croix que mon niveau est environ B1 a B2, alors meme que je l'etudie chaque jour. J'ai decouvert que je peux souvien la grammaire mais j'oublie les mots. Je trouve que je ne pux pas souvenir autant que je pouvais quand j'etais plus jeune. Je crois qu'encore je parle francais meileur que l'espagnol - mais il vient. Vraiment, il vient It is late now (3am or so) - so no test right now but _quiero decir que hacerlo (el examen) manana. Necesito me cama ahora_ ... I now have the bug for this (trying to learn other languages). I intend to have a go at Italian {once I've been to Spain on holiday for a fortnight and done nothing but speak it all the time - I have not been out of the country since before I started learning it because of Covid}. What I find really surprising is that even though I started (and stopped) learning French when I was a teenager, it still comes back, every time I go (to France) and just recently whilst trying to learn Spanish I still bring French words into Spanish. I have forgotten SO MUCH French vocabulary but then odd words just pop up if I have tried to think about it. Really strange. Also I will say this - I really could "think" in French when I was chatting with the girlfriend or her mates but now I have to juggle and think in English on the go translating back and forth as I go. This makes me slower than I used to be (and is the same in Spanish too) - but I just think it's practice. Spanish (grammar) *IS* much easier than French which is much stricter. I speak both French and Spanish (as you would expect) with a heavy English accent, and I have to say that Spanish is easier to pronounce for us (native English) too. But French is a much, much more romantic language to listen to. To my English ear (even though I now understand quite a lot of what is being said), "romance" just sounds romantic in French. I still think that French sounds far more "sexy" than Spanish ever could. I also think that Spanish would come behind Italian too in that regard (but I need to learn how to speak in that before giving a definitive view). So there you go, French, Spanish & English. I find the similarities and differences between French & Spanish fascinating. 2 verbs to be, 2 verbs to have Je dois aller au lit / tengo que ir a mi cama / I must go to bed! Bonsoir / buenas noches / goodnight ....
I can understand a lot of c2 lol but I am at b2 or b1. I regret not going to a french immersion school when I was younger, and now that I'm in high school I want to start going to one. I can speak Spanish and Portuguese so it's really easy for me.
I think i'm in b1 level.try to go c1 / c2 levels.sometimes i have more difficulties to understand grammar lessons and i watch your videos.it is more familiar to me.thank you alexa.❤️
Her C2 example might have been the easiest one for me to understand, although I am probably hardly at an A2 French level. It might have to do with the fact that Portuguese is my first language, and the two languages are pretty similar.
I aced A1, A2 and C2 tests, but got 8 out of 10 questions right in B1, B2, and C1 tests. I'm quite good at reading and writing, but have lots of difficulties in listening and speaking. I'm definitely A2. I still have to work on some grammar, listening, and speaking to get to B1.
I am an A1 for speaking, and an A2 for reading comprehension. I hope to make it to B1 by the end of the year 😊 The C2 text example seemed weirdly easy to understand. 🤔 Just, very dry.
I would say I'm somewhere between A2 and B1 and was honestly surprised I could perfectly understand the C2 sentence. Esp since I struggled with the previous levels 😮
Sadly I could understand listening to C2. When I read it I was correct. But I am on the A2 cusp of B1 level of comfort. This is because of cognates in the upper levels of english and in French. French became high English!
"it seems like you are working within the B1 level". thats what i think, grammatically, however my vocabulary is very small lol. i also applied what you said about cefr to english and it seems like i would be somewhere in between of B2 and C1 so that is cool, i guess
Dear mam , I am very much impressed the way you teach this language,can you tell me what is the way to remember masculine and feminine for each and every thing in french . Thank you
My Great Grandfather was French, I have studied martial arts since I was 8 but a few years ago I discovered French Savate Kick Boxing...I noticed many of my kicks look like the Savate method....maybe I should learn French lol
I took the C2 test and scored 10/10, which is quite normal as I am French.
Très amusant
Wow

Same! I understood C2 but not C1 because of the idiom Alexa used. I got the idea tho when she started with "Lupin".

J'ai apris parler, lire et ecrire la langue des francais lorsque j'avais seize ans - il y a plus que quarante ans, parce que j'avais une petite-amie francaise. Il n'assist pas aussi que le clavier de mon ordi n'a pas les cles avec les accents. Aussi, je manque de practiquer mais il me revient quand je me vais en France quelques jours en vacances.
Ayant explique, a ce moment, je suis en train d'essayer apprendre parler, lire, ecrire at parler en espagnol aussi. Je l'ai commence apprendre il y a deux annees(en novembre de 2019). Je croix que mon niveau est environ B1 a B2, alors meme que je l'etudie chaque jour. J'ai decouvert que je peux souvien la grammaire mais j'oublie les mots. Je trouve que je ne pux pas souvenir autant que je pouvais quand j'etais plus jeune. Je crois qu'encore je parle francais meileur que l'espagnol - mais il vient. Vraiment, il vient
It is late now (3am or so) - so no test right now but _quiero decir que hacerlo (el examen) manana. Necesito me cama ahora_ ... I now have the bug for this (trying to learn other languages). I intend to have a go at Italian {once I've been to Spain on holiday for a fortnight and done nothing but speak it all the time - I have not been out of the country since before I started learning it because of Covid}. What I find really surprising is that even though I started (and stopped) learning French when I was a teenager, it still comes back, every time I go (to France) and just recently whilst trying to learn Spanish I still bring French words into Spanish. I have forgotten SO MUCH French vocabulary but then odd words just pop up if I have tried to think about it. Really strange. Also I will say this - I really could "think" in French when I was chatting with the girlfriend or her mates but now I have to juggle and think in English on the go translating back and forth as I go. This makes me slower than I used to be (and is the same in Spanish too) - but I just think it's practice. Spanish (grammar) *IS* much easier than French which is much stricter. I speak both French and Spanish (as you would expect) with a heavy English accent, and I have to say that Spanish is easier to pronounce for us (native English) too. But French is a much, much more romantic language to listen to. To my English ear (even though I now understand quite a lot of what is being said), "romance" just sounds romantic in French. I still think that French sounds far more "sexy" than Spanish ever could. I also think that Spanish would come behind Italian too in that regard (but I need to learn how to speak in that before giving a definitive view). So there you go, French, Spanish & English.
I find the similarities and differences between French & Spanish fascinating. 2 verbs to be, 2 verbs to have
Je dois aller au lit / tengo que ir a mi cama / I must go to bed! Bonsoir / buenas noches / goodnight ....
I can understand a lot of c2 lol but I am at b2 or b1. I regret not going to a french immersion school when I was younger, and now that I'm in high school I want to start going to one. I can speak Spanish and Portuguese so it's really easy for me.
I think i'm in b1 level.try to go c1 / c2 levels.sometimes i have more difficulties to understand grammar lessons and i watch your videos.it is more familiar to me.thank you alexa.❤️
Wow, thank you for these examples! I'm definitely a beginner still.
I am just A2, I understand French sentences, but I don't know reply properly, your videos are very helpful for me, thanks Alexa madam.
Her C2 example might have been the easiest one for me to understand, although I am probably hardly at an A2 French level. It might have to do with the fact that Portuguese is my first language, and the two languages are pretty similar.
I aced A1, A2 and C2 tests, but got 8 out of 10 questions right in B1, B2, and C1 tests. I'm quite good at reading and writing, but have lots of difficulties in listening and speaking. I'm definitely A2. I still have to work on some grammar, listening, and speaking to get to B1.
Thanks a lot for the excellent content.
I started A2 since the beggining because I am spanish. As expected I passed A2 and next year I am going to B1 level! I am so excited 😭
Really appreciate you for your good job..
I got 7/10 on c2 but I think my understanding on listening conversation c1, writing B1, speaking b2-c1. I have a huge problem with pronunciation.
I just completed the C2 test and got 10/10 :)
J’ai fais le test, alors que je suis français, et je suis quand même heureux, premier degrés d’avoir fait 100% 😅
I am an A1 for speaking, and an A2 for reading comprehension. I hope to make it to B1 by the end of the year 😊
The C2 text example seemed weirdly easy to understand. 🤔 Just, very dry.
On ne dit pas "malgré le fait que nous avons des points de vue différents " mais " malgré nos points de vus différents" c'est un pléonasme sinon.
Tout à fait correct, maintenant le "malgré le fait que" est davantage générique donc beaucoup plus confortable et rassurant pour un non francophone
@@alteor13 je me rappelle encore de mon professeur de français qui m'entourait en rouge cette faute dans mes copies de commentaire de texte.
@@adrienneirda1 On ne parle pas ici de commentaire de texte mais de compréhension de langue...
Alexa, you have done an extraordinary job explaining these categories.
Thanks so much
I would say I'm somewhere between A2 and B1 and was honestly surprised I could perfectly understand the C2 sentence. Esp since I struggled with the previous levels 😮
Sadly I could understand listening to C2. When I read it I was correct. But I am on the A2 cusp of B1 level of comfort. This is because of cognates in the upper levels of english and in French. French became high English!
I'm in B1 level in French.
Still have a long way to go.
Thanks so much Mm. Alexa
B1? that is excellent!
i like your teaching french im follwoing from one year
For some reason I understood the C2 example, bur not the B2 😂
Hello, thanks for the great videos. Is the level test still available on your website?
no
merci beaucoup!
I struggle a lot with my reading in french but I must learn for the sake of my work😍
"it seems like you are working within the B1 level". thats what i think, grammatically, however my vocabulary is very small lol. i also applied what you said about cefr to english and it seems like i would be somewhere in between of B2 and C1 so that is cool, i guess
i noticed that iam in b1 thanks to this video merci beaucoup madame💖
So proud to say that I have DALF C1. One of my best achievements.
Dear mam , I am very much impressed the way you teach this language,can you tell me what is the way to remember masculine and feminine for each and every thing in french . Thank you
Great video Alexa!
I understood the first. You introduced yourself and said where you live and said your job
Merci beaucoup Alexa! Je comprends un peu de niveau B1 mais je pense que je suis plus confortable pour continuer au niveau A2.
OMG I can understand that B2 Level language, just having problem while speaking🥺
8:19 there’s a mistake it’s “le parti” not “le partie”
I agree with "aaxeg"; how does that happen ;-/ Alexa, merci d'avoir posté.
Alexa you are awesome. Merci👏👏
I'm B1 after an 870 day streak on Duolingo.
I think I am almost at C2 💪🏼 Came to France in 2018 with no knowledge of the language haha
well… i understood C2 way easier than C1… but if say im still only on B2, C1 if im able to concentrate well enough and am immersed
My Great Grandfather was French, I have studied martial arts since I was 8 but a few years ago I discovered French Savate Kick Boxing...I noticed many of my kicks look like the Savate method....maybe I should learn French lol
Marco boaucoup Alexa for your lessons… You are amazing professor 🤩
