This free website is created with love and a great deal of work.
HI, I have been taking your free quizzes periodically. Thank you! I think I am a VERY slow language learner I have been going to a school in Paris the last few months but haven’t gotten very far (and have NOT used your sight regularly).
I was wondering if you could tell me what someone should expect (on average) to progress based on X hours of study with your site per day, every day.
For instance, if I am A1.2 and I study with your site 1.5 hours per day and take quizzes, how long before you would expect I can reach an A2 level….and then a B1 level?
What would be the average progression with that amount of study….
and then what would you expect from a slower learner in terms of getting to the next level?
I am very close to signing up for your yearly subscription but just want a tangible idea of what I can expect…I am motivate but I think I am missing structure and quizzes to know if I am in fact improving. I can commit to 1.5-3 hours per day but I want to say 1.5 for now and get an idea of what to expect from you.
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond…and thanks again for the quizzes thus far
Bonjour Brise,
How quickly you progress depends on many factors, but *very* roughly speaking, it takes around 200 hours to go up a level. So it takes about 200 hours to go from A1 to A2, then another 200 from A2 to B1. If you work on your French for 1.5 hours every day (7 days a week), that would mean approximately 133 days (a little less than 4.5 months) for each level. Please take a look at https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/learn/speaking/what-is-fluency for more info about how this is calculated.
But of course that’s just a guideline, and there are many, many factors that will affect your own progress. The kwizzes are primarily on grammar, but you also need to work on vocab, pronunciation, listening, speaking, etc.
I hope this helps – bon courage ! 🙂
