What each paper is about

1

A flatshare viewing 路 the four-day week 路 a village grocery run by volunteers

2

Moving a physiotherapy session 路 the banker who became a baker 路 the book boxes of Besan莽on

3

Pausing a gym membership 路 a cleaning firm off night work 路 village car-sharing in the Cantal

4

Signing a child up for school meals 路 a supermarket that removed its self-checkouts 路 students lodging with older people

5

Booking a garage 路 a vet in the Morvan 路 swimming lessons for adults who never learnt

Every paper follows the official shape: a phone conversation from everyday life, a radio interview about working life, then a radio report on a social subject, worth 6, 8 and 11 points in that order.

How it is built

Why this is not a listening podcast

Exam conditions, not a podcast

Two listenings per document and no way to rewind. The bar is a gauge, not a slider. Pausing is allowed, because you are at home and the doorbell rings, but you never get to hear a passage twice.

Every answer explained, the right ones too

On a question with three options, one right answer in four is luck, and that is the one worth explaining. So the explanation opens under the answers you missed and waits, folded, under the ones you got.

The post-2020 format, to the point

Three documents, 6, 8 and 11 points, sixteen questions, three options each and exactly one right. Thirty seconds to read, two listenings, three minutes between them. Calibrated on the official sample paper.

French instructions, English explanations

The instructions are in French and spoken aloud, as in the exam room. Every correction is written in French first and in English underneath, so you never lose a point to a misread explanation.

Targeted replay after marking

Each correction quotes the clause that held the answer and plays those few seconds back on their own. You hear the sentence you missed, not the whole document again.

One file, and it works on a plane

The audio, the questions and the corrections are in a single HTML file that makes zero network requests. Open it on a phone, a tablet or a laptop, with no app, no account and no connection.

Six things Camille tells her students the week before

Before the first paper, six habits that cost nothing to apply and that candidates lose points for not having. In French as she says them, with the English underneath.

  • Read the questions during the thirty seconds you are given
  • The answers come in the order of the questions
  • The points are not spread evenly across the three documents
  • Write during the three minutes between the two listenings
  • The right answer does not repeat what you heard
  • Never leave an answer blank, there is no negative marking

In practice

Three steps, then the next paper

1

Buy and download

One file lands in your email within seconds. Keep it, it is yours, and it needs nothing else to run.

2

Sit a paper cold

Twenty-five minutes, two listenings, no rewind. A paper you have already seen measures nothing.

3

Read every correction

The mark out of 25, then the sentence behind each answer, played back on its own. Then the next paper.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this the real exam format?

It is the format in force since the 2020 reform: three documents per paper, two listenings each, 25 points, and multiple choice with three options throughout. The points are spread 6, 8 and 11 across the three documents, and the questions follow the order of the recording, exactly as on a real paper. The lengths and the spread were calibrated on the official sample paper published by France 脡ducation international.

Who speaks on the recordings?

Three voices, so that you can always tell who is talking: a man and two women, each holding one role per document. They are AI voices, and that is deliberate for a listening paper: every document can be re-recorded word for word when a single sentence needs rewriting, which is how five papers stay consistent with each other.

Can I hear what it sounds like before buying?

Yes, and you can sit a whole document for free. The free paper on the site gives you the hardest of the three document types, the two-voice radio report, with its eleven points, its questions and its full correction. If the free one suits you, the pack is fifteen more documents built the same way.

What does the correction actually give me?

For every one of the 80 questions: the right answer, the exact sentence from the recording that held it, quoted word for word, and why that sentence settles it, in French and in English. Then a button that replays those few seconds on their own. The full transcript of each document is there too, folded, for when you want to read what you could not hear.

How long does one paper take?

Around twenty-five minutes, the same as the real paper: about four minutes of audio plus the reading and answering time the instructions give you. The file keeps a paper you have started, so a closed tab or a flat battery does not cost you your answers. A listening you had already used stays used, as it would in the exam room.

Does it work offline, and on a phone?

Yes to both. Everything lives in one HTML file, including the audio and the fonts, so it makes no network request at all once downloaded. On an iPhone, add it to your home screen and it opens full screen like an app. Open it from the download link in your email rather than from the Files app, so it can remember where you are.

Will this get me the diploma on its own?

No, and the file says so where it marks you. Listening is one of four papers, each out of 25, and the DELF B1 needs 50 out of 100 overall with at least 5 in each. What this does is turn one of those four into a number you can watch move, and tell you where the missing points are.
