French resources
Everything free on Yak Yacker for learning French, in one toolbox.
Your French toolkit
This is the shelf with the good stuff: 159 free lessons with audio and speaking prompts, Yak Cards flashcards, a CEFR-style placement estimate, a vocabulary test, and a French spell checker that catches the accent you forgot.
A note on exams: DELF and DALF are the official French certifications, and we don't administer them — our tests are informal level estimates, not certificates.
Everything here is free and works alongside whatever else you're using.
Free tools, no catches, plenty of French.
