Part of the Guidebook Series: How to Use The French Room

If you are just starting out and want to know your fluency level. This guide will help you figure out your French level and find the right course book to go with it.

If you have recently moved up a level this guide shows you which course books I recommend.

Step 1: Find Your Level (It’s Free and Takes Just a Few Minutes)


No guesswork, no pressure. I’ve created a short online assessment to help place you at the right fluency level. It’s designed to be helpful—not intimidating—and it gives you a taster of the levels to guide you into the class that’s best for you.

This self-assessment course will help you to choose the right class, or you can confirm it with me in a free 15 minute personal assessment on Zoom.



Step 2: How to Get Your Course Book

When you book your first class or a New Student Assessment, you’ll receive a downloadable book list. It tells you exactly which course book (and workbook, if needed) goes with your level.

✨ It includes direct links to the correct editions on Amazon UK, so you can order quickly and easily. (please note The French Room receives a small commission from Amazon if you order using our links)

You’ll have everything you need so you can get started easily and with confidence.


Step 3: Watch this Quick How-To Video to see where to get the recommended book list

Not sure where to find your book list after booking? No problem. I’ve made a short video showing you exactly where to click and how to download it.
