What Do French Levels A1 and A2 Mean?
A1 and A2 are the first levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). In simple terms, learners start with the basics and gradually move towards greater independence in everyday French.
Introduce yourself, understand simple instructions, read short pieces of information and write a few sentences — the essential foundations for beginning to communicate in French.
Understand a wider range of messages, describe your daily life, communicate about familiar topics and write short, simple texts in French.
The first worksheets are highly accessible, then gradually lead learners towards reading, grammar and more developed written production.

🇫🇷 A2 French: A New Requirement for Many Multi-Year Residence Permits
Since 1 January 2026, many non-EU newcomers applying for their first French multi-year residence permit after holding a temporary permit must demonstrate spoken and written French at CEFR level A2. Reaching A2 is therefore not only useful for everyday life in France: it can also be an important step towards securing longer-term residence.
The requirement does not apply to every residence category, and exemptions or adjusted arrangements may apply depending on age, health, disability or immigration status. Always check the current official requirements for your individual situation.
