A French course to help you settle in France
Learning French is part of building a life in France: speaking with colleagues, understanding a message from school, making an appointment or explaining what you need. Kelmet’s structured course covers A0, A1, A2 and B1, including the full B1 stage.
Develop your listening, reading, speaking and writing skills alongside grammar and conjugation. Work towards the language skills assessed by recognised French tests and diplomas, such as the TCF, TEF or DELF, while practising French for everyday life.
A1
Handle everyday essentials
Introduce yourself, ask simple questions and practise French for shopping, appointments and daily routines.
A2
Become more independent
Build the language to talk about your situation, understand everyday messages and manage practical exchanges.
B1
Explain, describe and connect
Practise describing experiences, explaining plans and giving reasons for your opinions on familiar topics.
French levels and residence applications
Since January 2026, French language requirements include A2 for certain first multi-year residence permits and B1 for certain first resident cards. French nationality applications require B2. Requirements and exemptions depend on your situation.
Kelmet currently covers French through B1. It helps you develop language skills; it does not issue an official certificate. A recognised test or diploma may be needed for your application, and exam-specific practice may also be useful.
