Getting Started with French
Before taking the DELF A1 test, you need to start learning French regularly. It takes a few months to get used to how French works, to understand basic grammar and to be able to use it properly! On top of that, you need to accrue a certain amount of vocabulary. We usually recommend 2-4 French sessions a week and homework in-between because it gives the best results.
Like many of our French beginners, you might want to push yourself and take a little more time to prepare the DELF A2 straight away. It will show a better command of the language and prove that you are not a beginner anymore.
