Tutorials for learners

Essential guides for getting started with Furago, understanding your progress, and organizing your learning.

1

Create my account and get started

By the end of this tutorial, your account will be ready and Furago will be able to record your progress.

  1. Open the Create an account page and enter an email address that you check regularly.
  2. Choose a password, accept the terms of use, and submit the form.
  3. Open the email sent by Furago and select the confirmation link.
  4. Follow the welcome steps: optional personal information, a username, an optional group, and your starting level.
  5. At the end of the setup, open the Goals page to see the suggested work.
If a teacher invited you, preferably use the same email address that you provided to your institution.
2

Join a group

Your teacher must send you an invitation link or an access code.

  1. Log in to your Furago account.
  2. Open the link you received or go to Join a group.
  3. Enter the access code exactly as written, including its letters and numbers, then select Join the group.
  4. Check that the group appears under My groups.
  5. Return to Goals: the work assigned by your teacher now appears there.
An unknown code is usually incomplete or belongs to another group. Ask your teacher to send it again.
3

Find and understand my goals

The Goals page brings together your personal work and the assignments from your groups.

  1. Open the Goals page.
  2. Start with the recommendations at the top of the page when they are available.
  3. Look for goals marked with a blue dot: they are part of the work assigned by a teacher.
  4. Check each goal’s due date and progress bar.
  5. Select a goal name or its main action to continue the associated exercises.

The Goal map also shows the available skill areas and levels for your personal work.

4

Complete an exercise and understand my score

Your first attempt lets you discover the exercise and determines whether you will need to review it.

  1. Start an exercise from your goals or from the Exercises section.
  2. Read the instructions and review the document, image, or audio before answering.
  3. Submit each answer and read the correction or feedback.
  4. Use the next button until you reach the exercise’s final result.
  5. If you have not fully mastered the exercise, it may be added to your review list automatically.
A mistake is not a penalty: it helps schedule the reviews you need to consolidate your learning.
5

Manage my review list

Furago spaces reviews over time to strengthen your long-term memory.

  1. From the Goals page, open the Reviews tab.
  2. Start with the exercises currently available; the others will reappear on their scheduled dates.
  3. Repeat the exercise and focus on correcting the difficulties you encountered previously.
  4. When an exercise becomes eligible for removal, choose whether to remove it from the list or keep it for a future review.
  5. Keep fewer than ten reviews available so that you can continue discovering new exercises.

If you cannot use your microphone, temporarily enable no-microphone mode from the Reviews page.

6

Take a test and view my result

An online test is assigned by a teacher and must be completed in a single session.

  1. Open the test from your goals or from the online tests list.
  2. Read the number of questions and the instructions before you begin.
  3. Allow enough time: once started, a test cannot be saved and completed later.
  4. Answer each section, then use the final button to save your grade.
  5. Once saved, the grade is final and becomes visible in your progress record.
Check your connection, sound, and availability before starting the test.

Understand Furago and organize my learning

These guides help you choose a suitable pathway, understand credits, and prepare speaking activities.

7

Understand credits and subscriptions

Furago uses two different balances: standard credits for exercises and reviews on the free plan, and AI credits for certain speaking activities.

Standard credits

You receive 50 credits when you create your account, followed by a free monthly balance of 15 credits for standard exercises and reviews.

AI credits

You receive 50 AI credits when you create your account. They are used in particular for speech recognition, production analysis, and conversations.

Plan Reference price Standard exercises AI credits
Free account Free 50 on account creation, then a monthly balance of 15 50 on account creation
Monthly subscription ¥1,000 per month — approximately €6 Unlimited during the subscription 500 on subscription and then on each monthly renewal, up to a maximum balance of 3 000
Annual subscription ¥10,000 per year — approximately €60 Unlimited during the subscription 5 000 on subscription and then on each annual renewal, up to a maximum balance of 7 000
Student plan ¥1,000 for six months — approximately €6 Unlimited during the six months 50 on subscription and on each paid six-month renewal; no monthly top-up

Euro equivalents are approximate. The yen is the reference currency, and the converted amount varies with the exchange rate and payment method.

Additional AI credits

If you want to complete more speaking activities, you can buy a pack without taking out a new subscription.

Price AI credits
500 ¥ 1 000
1 000 ¥ 2 000
2 000 ¥ 4 000
3 000 ¥ 6 000

This is a one-time purchase and does not renew automatically. You can also choose to complete only some of the exercises that require AI credits.

8

Estimate my AI credits and choose my pathway

You do not have to complete every exercise at a level. These estimates indicate the approximate amount needed for a complete speaking pathway.

Level Estimated complete pathway
A0 30–50 AI credits
A1.1 300–700 AI credits
A1.2 and each subsequent level 1 000–1 600 AI credits

This is only an estimate. Actual usage depends on the exercises you choose, how often you speak, additional attempts, and reviews.

Give priority to activities that match your needs or your teacher’s instructions. A targeted pathway can be more useful than completing a large number of exercises too quickly.
9

Organize my progress on Furago

Start by learning to recognize sounds and words, then gradually move on to speaking and grammar consolidation.

From perception to production

1

Listening comprehension and phonetics

Begin by learning to recognize French sounds, words, and groups of words.

2

Speaking

Then reuse in speech the sounds and forms that you have learned to distinguish.

At A0 and A1.1, listening comprehension questions are very simple or focus mainly on recognizing sounds, words, and groups of words.

The speaking exercise progression

1

Reading aloud

Read a visible sentence to work on the relationship between writing and sounds.

2

Shadowing

Listen and then reproduce the sentence without reading it while recording.

3

Language laboratory

Produce or transform a sentence using a model and a prompt.

4

Semi-guided conversation

Respond to another speaker and maintain a freer exchange, particularly in DELF-inspired activities.

Consolidate my grammar

For independent work, mainly choose points already studied in your face-to-face class or exercises slightly below your current level. The work should remain accessible and enjoyable so that you can consolidate and automate what you have learned.
10

Prepare my speaking exercises effectively

Speech recognition works best when your voice is clear and the microphone does not pick up people speaking around you.

  1. Choose a quiet place. In a room where several people speak at once, nearby voices may cause the exercise to be assessed as incorrectly completed.
  2. At home, sit alone or far enough away from other people before you begin.
  3. During a class without a dedicated room, record outdoors or in another quiet area, at least four metres away from the other learners.
  4. Allow microphone access in your browser and begin with a short reading-aloud test.
  5. Speak aloud and clearly, keeping a consistent distance from the microphone.

Classroom mode

In language laboratory exercises, this mode lets you practise without recording your voice. It is useful for practice, but it does not validate the exercise.

No-microphone mode

During reviews, you can temporarily skip exercises that require a microphone. They remain in your list while you continue with other activities.
