About French A1
A1 is the entry-level tier in CEFR — the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. At A1 you can introduce yourself, ask and answer simple questions about personal details, and hold a basic conversation provided the other person speaks slowly and clearly. The words at A1 are the high-frequency words that show up in the overwhelming majority of everyday speech: greetings, numbers, family, food, weather, directions, time. Mastering A1 words is the foundation of French fluency — every later level is built on these words.
How to learn French A1
Spend your first 4-6 weeks on A1 words. The 45–65-minute daily loop is enough — review the A1 deck with spaced repetition until your recall rate is above 90%, then start adding A2 words one batch per week. Pair the deck with a basic grammar primer for French verb forms (or sentence-final particles, for languages like Korean and Japanese) so you can start producing your own sentences from day one.
Common questions about des in French
What level is des in French?
In LangOria's French deck, des sits at the A1 level of the language's recognized ability ladder (CEFR for most languages, JLPT for Japanese, HSK for Chinese). At this level you learn des alongside the highest-frequency words you actually need.
How do I memorize des?
Rote repetition rarely sticks on its own. Learn des 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 des in long-term memory.
Where does the example for des come from?
Every word — including des — 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 des memorable.
What should I learn after des?
Cover the remaining words at the A1 level, then move up. LangOria schedules spaced reviews and frequency-ordered decks, so des reinforces the rest of your A1 French vocabulary instead of standing alone.
