French online
Online French course from A1 to B2. Real teachers + AI conversation partner 24/7.
French courses for people who want to start speaking
French has a reputation as a beautiful but difficult language, and many people stumble at the same spot: they understand far more than they dare to say out loud. That is why the French courses at Kabinata are built around speaking. The lessons are live and in groups, with a real teacher in front of you, and every lesson is recorded — if you have missed a class or want to hear once more how something is pronounced, the recording is waiting for you.
Learning is entirely online: no travelling to a language school, no rearranging your week for a two-hour class. This is also the difference between an online French language course and digging through apps on your own — here there is a group, a pace and a person who corrects you in time, before the mistake hardens into a habit.
The levels: from the first words to free expression
The programme follows the European language framework CEFR — the same system used to read certificates and the requirements in job adverts. Each level builds on the previous one, so you neither go back nor skip the basics. In short, according to the CEFR descriptions:
- French course for beginners A1 — pronunciation and reading in French, introducing yourself, numbers, dates, the most essential phrases for your first conversations.
- French language A2 online — everyday situations: shopping, restaurant, travel, talking about the past in simple sentences.
- French course level B1 — connected narration, opinion and argument, working with texts and conversations outside the predictable script.
- French for advanced learners B2 — nuances, more complex tenses, discussion of abstract topics, the language expected in a professional environment.
If you are not sure where to start — and many people with a little school French in their baggage are not — take a free level test and start from where you really are.
Teachers with real names and real ratings
Behind the courses stand 29 teachers. Their ratings are average values of the ratings submitted for the particular teacher. Among the French teachers is Temenuzhka — with an average rating of 4.96 from 1765 ratings — a number that accumulates lesson by lesson, rather than being written into a presentation.
You can browse our teachers across all languages before choosing a course: profile, language, ratings. If you prefer full attention on yourself and your own pace, instead of a group you can take individual lessons.
Kabinkova: conversation practice at any time
One of the common reasons people stop learning French is that they have no one to talk to between lessons. That is why the courses come with “Kabinkova” — an AI conversation partner that keeps up a conversation in the language you are learning by voice and chat, 24 hours a day.
- You can practise the same situation as many times as you want, without feeling awkward.
- It works at the inconvenient hours — early in the morning, late in the evening, between two tasks.
- It complements the live lessons instead of replacing them: in the group you learn what is new, with Kabinkova you polish it.
Try the AI conversation practice and see how quickly the tongue loosens up when there is no audience.

How to start this week
There is no need to enrol in person. A device with internet and half an hour in which no one will interrupt you are enough.
- Take the level test and see where you are starting from.
- Choose a level — A1 if French is new to you, or higher if you have studied before.
- Join the first live lesson and speak, even if it is with mistakes. The recording stays for later.
- Between lessons, practise with Kabinkova for a few minutes a day.
Kabinata has been operating since 2005 — over 20 years of online language training and over 70 000 trained students. French is one of the five languages on the platform, together with English, German, Spanish and Italian, so if one day you decide to add a second language, you will not be starting from scratch somewhere else.
