Preparing for the FIDE test means practicing real-world speaking, listening, reading, and writing tasks — the skills you’ll need to pass confidently.
At My Linguistics, we give you full access to over 100 FIDE-style model tests through our dedicated online learning platform.
To prepare thoroughly, you’ll also train with our exclusive library of model papers, developed to match the test structure, topics, and difficulty level you’ll encounter at A2 and B1 levels.
Our practice papers focus especially on two key areas: building your confidence in speaking (“Parler”) and strengthening your comprehension (“Comprendre”) in everyday situations.
Each model test helps you work on realistic exam questions, practical French conversation topics, and real-life vocabulary you’ll likely encounter in Geneva and across Switzerland.

But preparation doesn’t stop at practice — let’s build your personalized plan.
Your personalized study plan
At My Linguistics, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all preparation.
When you join a FIDE test preparation course, we first create a personalized study plan based on your placement test results, your goals, and your current level of French.
Your plan includes:
A clear roadmap to your target FIDE test level (A1, A2, or B1)
Priority areas to strengthen your speaking, comprehension, reading, and writing
Access to targeted exercises, FIDE test practice papers, and progress tracking on our digital platform

Once you know your path, it’s time to aim for your target FIDE level.
Prepare for Your Target FIDE Level
At My Linguistics, we prepare you for all key FIDE levels — A1, A2, and B1 — depending on your objectives and timeline.
The FIDE levels are linked to permit requirements, but if time allows, we often recommend aiming for a higher level. Achieving a stronger grade now can save you time, money, and stress later, especially if you plan to renew your permit, apply for settlement, or naturalize in the future.
Our preparation courses cover both oral (speaking and listening) and writing (reading and written expression) skills, giving you the full support you need for the FIDE exam.
Which FIDE level should I prepare for?
The level you need depends on your permit or citizenship goals. A1 is required for a residence permit, A2 for regular settlement, and B1 for naturalization or early settlement. Preparing for a higher level can save time later.
