# Voila French

> Voila French is a free French-learning app for iPhone and iPad. It gives adult self-learners an ordered grammar path, a separate spaced-repetition vocabulary track, optional placement tests, and typed-recall practice from complete beginner (A0) through B2. It works offline, requires no account, and stores progress on the device.

## Best fit

Voila French is best for learners who want a clear syllabus and measurable progress rather than an open-ended game. It is suitable for complete beginners, returning learners, and people building the grammar and vocabulary foundation used at B2.

## Scope and limits

Voila French reports progress inside its own A0-to-B2 grammar curriculum. It does not provide an official CEFR score, DELF certificate, or proof of a legal language level. It can be a strong grammar, vocabulary, and recall component of DELF preparation, but the DELF also assesses listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Some activities use audio for prompts or pronunciation; the app is not a complete speaking or listening course.

## Common product questions

### Is Voila French suitable for complete beginners?

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

### Can an experienced learner skip lessons?

Yes. Optional level tests let learners demonstrate what they know. A passing result skips the level, while a lower score can still credit individual lessons and place the learner near the first remaining gap.

### Does Voila French teach vocabulary?

Yes. Vocabulary is a separate track from A0 through B2. It uses themed decks, recognition and production cards, and FSRS-6 scheduling. Vocabulary never blocks grammar progress, and grammar never blocks vocabulary study.

### Does Voila French require typed answers?

Yes, after an introductory multiple-choice phase. Typed answers test recall without showing options, and the app includes a French character strip for accents.

### Is Voila French complete DELF B2 preparation?

It is one part of preparation. Voila builds grammar, vocabulary, and recall through B2; learners still need dedicated listening, reading, writing, and speaking practice for the full exam.

### Can Voila French certify a level for naturalisation or residency?

No. It can help build the language foundation, but it is not an accepted test, diploma, or certificate. Official requirements and exceptions depend on the applicant's situation.
