Learn French step by step, from French 1 to AP and beyond

Français PDF is a free French course for English speakers. Every chapter is explained in plain English, and every French example is translated, so you always know what a sentence means as well as how it works. Whether you are in a high school French class, getting ready for the AP French Language and Culture exam, or an adult starting from zero, you can follow the path that fits you, or jump straight to the one chapter you need tonight.

High school French: French 1 to AP

French 1 through French 4 follow the sequence most American schools teach: greetings and everyday vocabulary first, then the past tenses, pronouns, the future and the conditional, and finally the subjunctive and longer written work. The AP French track covers the six AP themes and each task of the exam, from the email reply to the cultural comparison.

French for adults: CEFR A1 to B2

Adult learners can move along the European CEFR scale, from A1 survival French for travel to B2 French for work, debate and the press, up to the level of the DELF B2 exam. Chapters focus on situations you will really meet: ordering a meal, renting an apartment, writing a formal email, giving an opinion.

Worksheets, answer keys, tests and quizzes

Each chapter comes with a worksheet of 20 problems, an answer key on a separate page so that you try first and check afterward, a graded test with a scoring guide, and a ten-question quiz that is corrected instantly. Every lesson, worksheet and test downloads as a clean printable PDF in US Letter size, with all the French accents, ready for class, tutoring or self-study.

Listen, review and keep going

Use the daily tools on this page to build a habit: a dictation that reads French aloud, a word of the day, a conjugator for 150 verbs and a five-question daily challenge. Five minutes a day adds up faster than one long session a week, and every tool links back to the lesson that explains the rule.

Frequently asked questions

Is Français PDF really free?

Yes. Every lesson, worksheet, answer key, test, quiz and PDF is free to read and download, with no account, no subscription and no payment.

Which level should I start with?

If you have never studied French, start with French 1 if you are in school, or A1 if you are an adult learner. If you are not sure, type a topic into the search box above, open its quiz, and see how many of the ten questions you get right. Nine or ten means you can move up a level.

Why is the answer key on a separate page from the worksheet?

So you try the problems on your own first. Each worksheet ends with a button to its answer key, where every answer is explained. Checking afterward is how you find out what you really remember.

Can I print the worksheets and lessons?

Yes. Every lesson, worksheet, test and answer key has a download button for a clean PDF in US Letter size, with all the French accents, no ads and no menus, ready to print for class, tutoring or self-study.

Do you cover the AP French exam and the DELF?
