Why practise situations?
Respond to realistic everyday and exam-style prompts in your own words.
Plan what to say, write or practise saying it, then compare with guidance and model answers. You check your own work; FKE does not grade it or provide a human tutor.
Practise with more than 50 additional Study Companion scenarios, with prompts for writing and speaking. New ones will join the library over time.

Know what to practise each day
Your Study Companion guides you through FKE, including Pattern & Discourse, with a growing path that starts with four weeks. Choose the time you have, practise one manageable focus, and apply it in your own French. Reviews bring you back to what needs work, and the rest of FKE stays available to explore.
Your time today
Typical practice
5 minutes
Review a familiar pattern and use it in two sentences of your own.
15 minutes
Review, explore today’s focus, and complete a short speaking or writing activity.
30 minutes
Explore today’s focus, practise in context, and refine your response with a second attempt.
Focus with an optional writing timer. Record and replay your speaking to choose one phrase to improve. Download recordings to keep them; closing or refreshing the tab erases them.
Go at your own pace. Review days count, and a missed day never removes your progress. Practice summaries record your self-checks, rather than an automatic language grade.

Decision Training · Pattern / Discourse
Pattern & Discourse — retrieve, then reuse
A browsable practice library — realistic French situations first, translation available on request. Some situations call for a whole structure (discourse pattern); within it, only some moves call for a fixed French expression (expression pattern) — the rest is your own content. Type before you see the reference; you self-assess against it.
FKE · About & roadmap
Turning French knowledge into decisions you don't have to think twice about.
FKE is a decision-training tool built for adults preparing for a French exam. Grammar explanations are everywhere — the gap isn't information, it's knowing which correct answer actually fits what you mean.
Free now
Start free without registering or signing in. Guest progress stays in this browser. Sign in to keep an account copy and continue across devices. Study Companion adds the full guided path, unlimited checked practice, and the complete member reading and situation collection. .
"I was reading when he called."
je lisais
imparfait — ongoing background action
OR
j'ai lu
passé composé — completed event
Every textbook explains the rules. Every AI can generate an answer. But real fluency begins when several answers are grammatically correct — and you must choose the one that fits your meaning, context, and intent.
FKE exists to train that decision.

Making it a daily habit
Short daily practice, spaced repetition on the decisions you've seen before, and a map of what you've actually mastered — so returning each day compounds instead of restarting.
FKE's core tools stay free, always. If they've saved you time, a small show of support helps keep this going — entirely optional.

FKE is built and reviewed by one person, in public. Last updated: 23 Oct 2026.
Historical FKE-light v1.5 notes (not current counts or architecture): real data (108 verbs, 137 expressions incl. 21 structural patterns, 12 comparisons, 28 sentences, 17 concept cards: 6 tense + 11 system/topic — a copy of explorer/data/data.js sitting in this folder's own data/ subfolder). Covers Verb Explorer (Recall/Reference/Practice — Reference color-codes stem/ending/aux/participle, gérondif + memory-tip callouts), Sentence Explorer (real cloze with a visible Check button, filterable by level and by tense/trigger, plus listen/shadow), Connectors (now clickable — full detail incl. examples/mistakes/related), Patterns (21 structural templates), Reference (the 11 system/topic concepts plus the ~60 grammatical-trigger expressions, reachable from concept pages, tense-card "Triggers", and Search), Compare (all 12 comparisons, DECIDE drill), Weak Spots, Search, and Needs Review. Decision Training (promoted from throwaway explorer/ mechanism experiments, Puii-tested 2026-08-14):Dependency (10 exercises — an earlier meaning choice forces a later grammatical mood; every step is CHOOSE, derived live from canonical verb/expression data, never hardcoded) and Pattern / Discourse (15 exercises, reworked v1.5 for breadth then redesigned 2026-08-16 for a French-first, browsable-library presentation — 9 discourse-arc retrieval items across 7 distinct communicative families (complaint, invitation, narrating an experience, opinion/argument x2 — the second a DELF-style reply-to-a-friend instance — plus, added 2026-08-29 via the moveFunction-resolved Discourse Move Architecture: exposé argumentatif x2 — télétravail, and the same Arc reused for l'IA à l'école — a written réponse argumentative écrite about les réseaux sociaux, and a short A2/B1 prise de position about l'environnement), 4 expression retrieval/reuse items across 4 more families (complaint closing, self-introduction, polite request, and that closing reused in a different purpose/recipient/register), 2 choice-based decision items (formal-vs-casual; which pattern fits, including accepting/declining). The test surface leads with a realistic French situation (not an English prompt); an English gloss is available behind a collapsed "Voir la traduction" toggle, and register/word-count constraints show as their own line, both never shown by default. The index is a browsable, filterable library ([All] [Discourse] [Expression] [Choose], mapped from the existing item type — no new schema) plus a "Practice a random task" action scoped to the current filter. Two nested, deliberately un-collapsed levels throughout: discourse pattern = retrieve the whole arc, typed and self-assessed against a reference shown side by side; expression pattern = retrieve/reuse a genuinely conventional French formula within one move — never fabricated on moves that are really free content (Problem/Cause/Reasons/Narration stay untested, on purpose). Open French answers are graded by self-assessment (three honest states — retrieved / valid variant / missed), not exact-string matching; normalize() may only surface a non-authoritative hint. This content is still exploratory (10+11, to discover what repeats) and lives as local data inside this file's own script, not a new schema. Intentionally not built: Tense Map, standalone Drills screen, a generalized Dependency/Pattern authoring engine, Weak Spots integration for Decision Training (deliberately deferred), full coverage of every communicative family listed in the brief (Greeting and Suggestion/advice are untouched by design — breadth over forced completeness). Note: the data copy won't follow future edits to the real FKE automatically. Nothing in explorer/ was touched. (Moved to the bottom of the page 2026-08-14, Puii-directed — it was pushing real content down on every load.)
