One free five-minute conversation · No payment card needed
Example of a live TEF speaking Section A conversation. You ask the photography workshop whether to bring a camera. Your AI partner says a phone is enough and offers to lend a compact camera. You ask how to reserve it, and the partner explains that you reserve it when you register.

Use a short advertisement as the starting point for a conversation. You take the initiative and ask for the details you need. Move beyond your prepared questions: an answer about the schedule might lead to a question about missing a session.
Ask, then follow up
« Est-ce que le matériel est compris ? »
Present a proposal and try to persuade a friend to take part. The examiner plays your friend and raises objections. Explain the benefits, listen carefully and adapt your reasoning to what they say.
Listen, then make your case
« Je comprends, mais on pourrait y aller ensemble. »

A simple routine, from your first attempt to your next improvement.
Start with Section A or B. Read the situation and decide what you need to achieve, rather than writing a speech to recite.
Allow your microphone and start a French conversation. In Section A, ask questions; in Section B, present your idea and respond to your partner’s concerns.
Review the saved conversation and feedback on your response. Identify where the exchange stopped flowing, save useful vocabulary and try again with more specific follow-up questions.
A useful Section B reply responds to the objection you actually hear. In this original cooking-workshop example, your friend’s concern changes from price to confidence.
Your friend
C'est surtout que je cuisine très mal. J'ai peur de ralentir tout le monde.Your reply · excerpt
Ah, je comprends mieux. L'annonce précise que les débutants sont les bienvenus, donc tu n'as pas besoin d'arriver avec de l'expérience. On pourrait commencer par une tâche simple et demander des explications si nécessaire.Original TEF Practice teaching material.
Another argument about the price would miss the point. This reply uses a fact from the advertisement, the welcome for beginners, then suggests a manageable first step. It does not promise that the friend cannot make a mistake.
Try your own follow-up aloud: is your friend worried about understanding the instructions or making a mistake in front of others? A specific question gives you something useful to respond to.
Expression orale is a 15-minute exchange with an examiner. Section A lasts 5 minutes and asks you to obtain information. Section B lasts 10 minutes and asks you to present an idea and persuade someone.
Yes. A free account includes one five-minute Section A conversation about a photography workshop, with a transcript and AI feedback. No payment card is needed.

Yes. Our live AI conversation partner listens and responds in French, with instant, accurate feedback after your conversation. Feedback is based on your saved interaction and gives practice estimates, not an official TEF result.
Practise useful ways to ask, clarify and disagree, but leave room to respond naturally. A memorised speech cannot anticipate what the examiner says next.
