Learn French, step by step from A1 to C1
Lerniyo explains every rule and every word in the language you already understand — Arabic or Moroccan Darija — step by step, until you're ready to live, work, study, or immigrate in French.
Try the first unit freeWhere do you start?
Whatever the goal — immigrating to Canada, working in France or Belgium, studying, a diploma like the DELF, or simply speaking French day to day — you start at A1. Each level moves you further: A2 gives everyday independence, B1 is the level most work and immigration files ask for, B2 brings real fluency, and C1 is full command. The curriculum is built like a real school — one level builds on the last, no jumps, no gaps.
What do you learn?
A curriculum built on the CEFR framework — the same scale used by the DELF, DALF, TCF and TEF.
French A1
Your first words, your first conversation — enough for simple daily situations.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to already know some French to start?
No. Everything is explained from zero in Arabic or Darija.
How long does it take to reach B1?
About 18 weeks at 15-20 minutes daily. That's an estimate — it depends on your consistency.
Is a DELF or DALF diploma enough to immigrate to Canada?
No. For Canadian immigration you need a TEF Canada or TCF Canada result, converted to the NCLC scale (Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens) — not a DELF or DALF diploma. Quebec also runs its own separate 'échelle québécoise' for some of its own selection programs, distinct from the federal NCLC scale. Always check exactly which scale and which test the program you're applying to requires.
Is Lerniyo's certificate an official DELF, DALF, TCF or TEF?
No. Our practice follows the style of those official exams, and our certificate confirms you completed our own curriculum — it isn't an official registration with the DELF, DALF, TCF or TEF.
Can I start for free?
Yes — the first A1 unit is free forever, no signup and no card.
Do I need a lot of time every day?
No. 15 minutes a day is enough for steady progress — consistency matters more than duration.
