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.

What should I learn after une?
Cover the remaining words at the A1 level, then move up. LangOria schedules spaced reviews and frequency-ordered decks, so une reinforces the rest of your A1 French vocabulary instead of standing alone.
