Prepare for the France TCF IRN, the Test de connaissance du français pour l'intégration, la résidence et la nationalité. Practise all four tests the real exam scores: listening and reading with audio, plus writing and speaking tasks with model answers and spoken examples. Every answer is explained in French, English and Arabic. Since 1 January 2026 a French level is required for these steps, and the app is built to the current format.
The TCF IRN (Test de connaissance du français pour l'intégration, la résidence et la nationalité) is a French test required for several immigration and nationality steps in France. Since 1 January 2026 a set French level is required depending on the step. The test places you on the Common European Framework scale from A1 to B2 across four tests: listening, reading, writing and speaking. It is designed and delivered by France Éducation international (FEI).
The TCF IRN has four mandatory tests. Listening comprehension is multiple choice (about 25 questions, roughly 20 minutes) and reading comprehension is multiple choice (about 25 questions, roughly 35 minutes). Written expression has three tasks (about 30 minutes) and speaking is a short three-part interview (about 10 to 12 minutes). Your performance is placed on the CEFR scale rather than marked question by question.
The required level depends on your step: roughly A2 for some residence permits, B1 for the carte de résident, and B2 for naturalisation. Because all four skills count, speaking and writing practice matter as much as listening and reading. Always confirm the exact level required for your situation with the official sources.
The TCF IRN attestation de résultats is valid for two years from the date you sit the test. If your step is delayed you may need to sit it again, which is why many candidates prepare thoroughly the first time.
The tasks are built around everyday, real-life French: administration, work, housing, health, daily life, society and travel. This app groups its practice and flashcards into the same everyday themes:
No. The official TCF materials are protected and are not reproduced here. Every question, audio clip, passage, model answer and flashcard in this app is written from scratch to match the format and level of the TCF IRN, with a clear explanation for each answer. This keeps the app fully independent of France Éducation international while drilling the same skills.
People applying for a residence permit, a carte de résident or French naturalisation take the TCF IRN to prove their French level. It is sat at approved centres and the fee varies by centre and by which tests you take. Always confirm dates and fees with an approved test centre or France Éducation international.
Work through original listening clips, announcements, voicemails and dialogues you play in the app, and reading passages with cloze and comprehension questions. Every question has four options and a clear explanation in French, English and Arabic. Practise at your own pace or sit a timed mock.
Rehearse the three writing tasks with two graded model answers each (a genuine pass answer and a stronger one) and a self-check rubric, then record your speaking on the device and compare with a spoken example. Nothing is uploaded; you self-assess offline against clear criteria.
Drill the words and expressions you need across all seven everyday themes with spaced-repetition flashcards, each carrying an English and Arabic gloss and a short French example, so you build the vocabulary the exam expects.
