How this estimator works
- Choose your current overall French level (beginner through advanced).
- Set how many hours per week you can realistically dedicate to structured French study.
- We map typical learning curves from your level to NCLC 7+ competency across reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
- The result is a rough range in weeks and months тАФ use it for planning; your actual pace depends on consistency and exam-specific practice.
