Use a small French conversation task each day: greet someone, ask for something, or answer one follow-up question. This page helps you choose a situation and repeat it with variation, using short models suited to A0–A2 learners.
Start here
Start with a situation you expect to use this week. The French dialogue library provides short exchanges with English meanings; the phrase library adds model audio for individual lines. If you prefer a sequence chosen for you, the Parle speaking course starts with greetings and everyday needs before moving into longer exchanges.

A seven-day sequence of small conversations
| Day | Situation | Task to say aloud |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | First contact | Say hello and introduce yourself. |
| 2 | A café | Ask for one drink and thank the person. |
| 3 | Finding a place | Ask where something is and repeat the direction. |
| 4 | Shopping | Ask the price and confirm one quantity. |
| 5 | Travel | Ask for a ticket and check the destination. |
| 6 | An appointment | State a time and ask whether it is available. |
| 7 | Review | Repeat two earlier situations with one detail changed. |
This is a practice schedule, not a seven-day fluency promise. Stay with one situation for several days if that makes your speech more comfortable. For a detailed session structure, follow the five-minute speaking routine.
Make a scene small enough to finish
For A0, a greeting plus one supported reply is a useful task. For A1, add a practical question and an answer you expect to hear. For A2, include a follow-up or a small complication, such as changing the time of an appointment. These labels guide exercise difficulty; completing a task does not certify a CEFR level.
Change one detail on the second attempt
Once you can repeat a café order, change the drink. Once you can introduce yourself, change the name or add where you live. This tests whether you understand the phrase well enough to use it, instead of only remembering its sound. Keep the rest of the exchange familiar so the change remains manageable.
Practise both listening and replying
Read the other speaker’s line, hide your answer, and try to reply aloud. Then check the model and record a second attempt. Notice whether you answered the question and kept the key words understandable. If pronunciation blocks a useful line, follow its linked sound guide before trying the conversation again.
In Parle, reviewed missions provide the core sequence and recordings. Optional AI Coach Léo can add a new follow-up after that practice, although generated replies may contain mistakes. Keep a short note of the situation, the line that was difficult, and the variation you want to try next time.
