About French A2
A2 is the elementary tier in CEFR. At A2 you can handle most everyday interactions — ordering food, asking for directions, booking a hotel, describing your job and your weekend — and you can express yourself in simple connected sentences. The words at A2 expand on the A1 foundation: common verbs, daily routines, clothing, transport, the home. A2 is the practical fluency tier: if you finish A2, you can survive comfortably in a French-speaking country.
How to learn French A2
A2 takes about 6-8 weeks on top of A1. Continue spaced-repetition review of the A1 deck (your recall should now be automatic) and add 30-50 new A2 words per week. Start reading simple French texts — children's books, news headlines, restaurant menus — and listening to slow podcasts. By the end of A2 you should be able to follow a basic French conversation at natural speed.
Common questions about but in French
What level is but in French?
In LangOria's French deck, but sits at the A2 level of the language's recognized ability ladder (CEFR for most languages, JLPT for Japanese, HSK for Chinese). At this level you learn but alongside the highest-frequency words you actually need.
How do I memorize but?
Rote repetition rarely sticks on its own. Learn but inside its example sentence, say it out loud, and let spaced repetition bring it back at the right moments. The 45–65-minute daily loop is usually enough to anchor but in long-term memory.
Where does the example for but come from?
Every word — including but — carries a real example drawn from the community-built Tatoeba sentence corpus: sentences written by native speakers, not synthetic textbook filler. That context is what makes but memorable.
What should I learn after but?
Cover the remaining words at the A2 level, then move up. LangOria schedules spaced reviews and frequency-ordered decks, so but reinforces the rest of your A2 French vocabulary instead of standing alone.
