How this estimator works

  1. Choose your current overall French level (beginner through advanced).
  2. Set how many hours per week you can realistically dedicate to structured French study.
  3. We map typical learning curves from your level to NCLC 7+ competency across reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
  4. 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.
