LeMethodic is exam prep for B1 anglophones who can read French, write French, even understand French — but freeze the moment they have to speak it.
You hit a wall at B1. Most learners do. It's the moment French stops being forgiving.
You can survive a conversation. You can read articles. You can write structured texts. But when a real French speaker talks at normal speed, or when an examiner asks you to argue a position in 5 minutes — you collapse into safe phrases. Short sentences. Past tense only. The word you needed wasn't there when you needed it.
Duolingo, Babbel, even Preply tutoring won't fix this. They were built for a different problem: helping you learn French. You don't need to learn more French. You need to break the wall between knowing French and producing French under exam pressure.
That's what LeMethodic does.
Most apps push you through generic lessons. LeMethodic starts with 3 recordings to find your specific gaps — the exact patterns blocking your B2 score. Your path is built from your gaps, not from someone else's syllabus.
Built on 7,000+ hours of teaching English speakers learning French. The mistakes you make aren't random. They follow patterns. LeMethodic detects those patterns and trains you out of them — not generic "French grammar," but the specific traps anglophones fall into and never escape.
The TCF speaking test is 12 minutes of pressure. You can't simulate that with flashcards. LeMethodic puts you under the same pressure: real prompts, recorded responses, immediate feedback on what an examiner would actually score you on.
Three recordings. Three TCF-realistic prompts. Our engine identifies the specific grammar, vocabulary, and structural patterns that are blocking your B2 score.
You're enrolled in the B1 → B2 path: 22 clusters covering every grammar pattern that distinguishes B1 from B2 speech. The diagnostic decides where you start and what you skip.
Daily Tâche simulations under timing constraints. AI feedback on accuracy, fluency, and structural production. Weekly diagnostics to track real progress, not vanity metrics.

LeMethodic is built on a methodology refined across 7,000+ hours of one-on-one teaching with anglophone French learners on Preply.
The patterns of error are not random. After thousands of hours, they reveal themselves: which grammatical structures English speakers systematically transfer incorrectly. Which preposition pairs they consistently get wrong. Which moments of speech reveal the B1 ceiling to a TCF examiner.
The product encodes those patterns. The diagnostic detects them. The path corrects them.
This is not a generic French learning app with AI added. It's a focused exam-preparation system for a specific candidate facing a specific exam.
PrepMyFrench is generalist TEF/TCF prep for all native languages. LeMethodic is built for one specific candidate: an anglophone preparing for the TCF Canada speaking test. The detection of errors, the path, and the feedback are all tuned for English-speaker interference patterns specifically.
Duolingo and Babbel are designed to teach French to beginners. They work well for that. LeMethodic is designed for B1 learners who already know French but can't perform under exam pressure. Different problem, different product.
The subscription and Sprint don't include outcome guarantees — passing depends on your effort, not just the platform. The Premium tier (coming month 2-3) includes an outcome-based money-back guarantee.
The diagnostic gives you immediate visibility into your gaps. Real production change takes 4-8 weeks of consistent practice. Candidates ready to commit 5+ hours per week typically see TCF-relevant improvement within 4 weeks.
LeMethodic is designed for B1 → B2. If you're at A2 or below, you'll see this in the diagnostic and we'll redirect you to the waitlist for the A2 → B1 path (in development). If you're already B2+, the diagnostic will tell you and recommend appropriate next steps.
The TCF Canada exam is in 4 weeks, or 8 weeks, or 6 months. Whatever your timeline, the first step is the same: 12 minutes of recording, an honest diagnostic, and a decision based on real information instead of anxiety.
