A clear way to work through French.

Voila French is built for adults who want an ordered course rather than an open-ended game. It combines CEFR-organized grammar lessons, A0-to-B2 vocabulary review, typed recall, placement tests, and measurable mastery in a free app for iPhone and iPad.

Yes. The course begins at A0 with sounds, greetings, être, avoir, articles, numbers, and simple questions. Questions include English translations, and practice starts with multiple choice before asking for typed recall.

Yes. Optional 20-question level tests start at A0 and move upward one level at a time. Passing lets you skip a level you have demonstrated; a lower score can still credit individual lessons supported by correct answers, so you begin near the first remaining gap. This is in-app placement, not an official CEFR certificate.

Yes. The grammar path runs from A0 through B2 in ordered lessons. A separate A0-to-B2 vocabulary track uses themed decks and schedules recognition and production cards for review; vocabulary never blocks grammar progress, and grammar never blocks vocabulary study.

Yes, for vocabulary. Voila uses the FSRS-6 scheduling model to decide when vocabulary cards are due. Grammar uses a separate mastery system based on recent answers, because learning a grammar rule and retaining a word are different jobs.

Both. New grammar lessons begin with multiple choice to introduce the pattern, then shift to typed-first practice after eight correct answers in a row. Typed answers test recall without showing the options, and a French character strip makes accents easier to enter.

A grammar lesson is mastered when your 30 most recent drill answers include at least 27 correct answers, at least 15 typed answers, and every lesson subtopic. All four requirements must be true at the same time. Mastery is based on recent recall, not time spent or an attendance streak.

Voila can be a strong part of DELF preparation: it builds grammar, vocabulary, and recall through B2 with a clear CEFR path. The DELF also assesses listening, reading, writing, and speaking, so use Voila alongside practice in those four exam skills. It is a study app, not an official exam or certificate.

Voila is primarily a grammar, vocabulary, and recall app today, not a complete speaking or listening course. Some activities use audio for prompts or pronunciation, but learners who need conversation practice or DELF-style listening should pair it with dedicated practice.

For applications filed from 1 January 2026, France generally requires B2 oral and written French for naturalisation; a carte de résident generally requires B1. Voila can help build the grammar and vocabulary foundation, but it cannot certify your level or replace accepted evidence. Check the French Ministry of the Interior's official guidance and the official resident-card rule because exceptions and requirements depend on your situation.

Yes. Lessons and vocabulary ship with the app, practice works offline, and progress and review schedules are stored on your device. Voila French does not require an account, and the current release collects no data.

Voila French is free to download from the App Store for iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. The current release has no ads, purchases, or account requirement.
