Why test your French vocabulary by speaking?

Active, not passive, vocabulary

Multiple-choice tests count the words you recognise. This test counts the words you can find in the middle of a sentence, which is the vocabulary that matters in conversation.

Measured variety

We count how many different words you use and how often you fall back on the same ones, with a method that stays fair whether you speak for 40 seconds or two minutes.

Upgrades for your own sentences

Instead of a generic word list, you get more precise French alternatives for the exact phrases you said.

What the vocabulary test scores

How wide your vocabulary is, from basic everyday words to less common, abstract and idiomatic ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the French vocabulary test work?

You speak French on a topic for about a minute. We transcribe the recording, measure how many different words you used, and an AI assessor rates the range, precision and naturalness of your vocabulary against the CEFR levels. The result is a score, a level from A1 to C2 and a list of words to upgrade.

What is the difference between active and passive vocabulary?

Passive vocabulary is the words you understand when you read or hear them. Active vocabulary is the words you can produce yourself while speaking. Active vocabulary is always smaller, and it is the one this test measures.

How long do I need to speak?

At least 40 words, and ideally a full minute. A very short answer cannot show a high level, so the result is capped until you speak for longer.

What is the variety index?

It is the average share of different words in every 50-word stretch of your speech. A higher number means less repetition. Unlike a simple count of unique words, it does not drop just because you talked for longer.

Is this test free?

Yes. It is free to use without an account, with a daily limit on the number of tests.
