Tête-à-Tête follows the AQA GCSE French (8652) speaking structure. Five-task role plays, reading aloud with follow-up questions, then photo card discussion — in the exam order. Speak French out loud, the AI replies in French, and you get scored on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, interaction, and confidence after every turn — plus a predicted GCSE grade to track your progress.

Most GCSE prep tools are text-based — you tap, you reply. Tête-à-Tête is different. You actually speak French, out loud, and the AI examiner listens, responds in French, and scores you in real time. Just like sitting your real speaking exam.
After every session, get scored on the six skills examiners care about: pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, interaction, and confidence. Track improvement over time and see your predicted GCSE grade (1–9) update as you progress.
Sit a full timed mock French speaking exam — preparation phase, all components back-to-back, exam conditions. No coaching, no help. Finish with a complete report and predicted grade so you know exactly where you stand.
