FIDE Speaking Practice

Now, select your exam level to practice.

What you practise on the French speaking path

Work through the French fide oral test one task at a time. The exam opens at A2 for everyone and then branches: part-way through, the examiner moves you onto the A1–A2 or the A2–B1 track depending on how it is going. This guided examen fide preparation follows that same shape, so nothing on the day is a surprise.

Key FIDE practice facts

  • Four tasks, practised separately: introduction, image description, telephone roleplay and discussion.

  • Everyone starts at A2 — the exam branches to A1–A2 or A2–B1 part-way through.

  • Model answers with audio show what a full response sounds like.

On this page you can:

  • Open a task and try its free A2 example.

  • Compare your answer against a prepared model answer.

  • Switch to the topic view to prepare a situation you already know you need.

Access note: every A2 task opens with a free example you can try without an account. A1 and the complete A1–B1 practice content are part of Full access.

Is FIDE practice free online?

Partly. Every A2 task here opens with a free example you can try without an account. A1 and the complete A1–B1 practice content are part of Full access.

Which level should I practise?

Start at A2. The fide oral test begins at A2 for every candidate and the examiner moves you onto the A1–A2 or A2–B1 track during the exam, so A2 is the level everybody needs first.
