Learning Principles

Furago is an exercise-based website. The goal here is to ensure that you can complete the exercises without making mistakes.

When you make a mistake, the exercise is added to a review list. To remove an exercise from the review list, you must complete it perfectly.

If the number of exercises in the review list exceeds 10, it becomes impossible to attempt new exercises. In this case, you must clear your review list.

Usage Tips

After creating an account, go to the objectives page. This is where you will find the planned work for you.

To progress quickly, follow these tips.

  1. Regularly check your objectives page. If you are part of a group and the group has objectives, pay close attention to deadlines.
  2. Keep the number of exercises in your review list below 10.
  3. For your Furago account, use an email address that you check regularly. You will receive notifications informing you of various deadlines. You may also receive a weekly summary of the work available.

Levels

On Furago, the levels are called A0, A1, A2, and B1, with A0 being the easiest and B1 the most difficult. These are the levels used in European universities and companies.

A0 This is the level for complete beginners. At this stage of learning French, one should simply recognize letters and sounds, associate words and short phrases with their pronunciation.

A1 This level is broken down into three sub-levels: A1.1, A1.2, and A1.3. At this stage, one understands and says simple things about oneself, asks basic daily life questions. For example, one introduces oneself, says their address, asks for a price or a schedule, and reads signs containing useful information.

A2 This level is also divided into three sub-levels: A2.1, A2.2, and A2.3. At this stage, one can understand isolated sentences and frequently used expressions (personal and family information, shopping, immediate environment, work). One is able to communicate simply for common daily tasks.

B1 This level is also divided into three sub-levels: B1.1, B1.2, and B1.3. At this level, one can understand the main points of familiar topics encountered at work, school, or during leisure. One can handle most situations encountered while traveling in a region where French is spoken. One is able to produce a simple speech on familiar or personal interest topics. This is a surprisingly advanced level, and reaching it is an ambitious challenge that will require several hundred hours of learning.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the activities. For vocabulary learning, a smartphone is very convenient. If you are on the go, it's a suitable time to study vocabulary. However, for exercises that involve reading longer documents, a smartphone may not be as practical, and it's preferable to use a computer or a tablet. In general, navigating the website with a tablet or a computer is more comfortable.

Vocabulary learning is completely free. As for the exercises, when you create an account, you are given 50 credits which allow you to do 50 exercises. After that, you have two options. Option one: if you only want to do activities for about 10 to 15 minutes per month, you can wait for your account to recharge monthly. Option two: if you need to do more exercises, for example, at least 15 to 20 minutes per week, you can choose a premium access.

Yes, subscriptions are automatically renewed. You can manage your subscription from your account.

Some activities, such as reading aloud or shadowing, use speech recognition and rely on AI services external to Furago. Once your free credits are used up, and if you want to do a large number of exercises of this kind, you can purchase an AI Pack. This is a one-time payment that does not renew automatically, and the use of the AI Pack is not limited in time. Monthly subscribers also receive a refill of 500 AI credits each month.

Revisions are extremely important. They guarantee long-term knowledge retention.

On the revision page, pay attention to the icons (dogs) and notice that some icons are in color while others are in black and white.

Color icons represent exercises that you voluntarily keep in your list. You have the right to remove them at any time. You can also choose the time frame in which they will reappear in your list.

The black and white icons, on the other hand, represent exercises that you must successfully complete before being able to remove them from your list.

Yes, it's possible, but be careful not to overload yourself with work. If you were successful on the first try, it's not impossible that you won't need to do it again.

However, if you wish to systematically add successfully completed exercises to your revision list, there is an option to do so on this page in the learning section.

You can ask it all sorts of questions. Here are a few examples: «What is the conjugation of the verb 'prendre' in the present tense?», «Why is this sentence incorrect: 'J’aime du sport.'?», «What are the ways to eat eggs in France?»
