Tête-à-Tête follows the Cambridge IGCSE French (0520) speaking structure exactly. A 5-task Role Play, then two Topic Conversations of about 4 minutes each, after a 10-minute preparation phase. No Photo Card, no Reading Aloud — IGCSE doesn't use them. Speak French out loud, the AI replies in French, and you get scored on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, interaction, and confidence — holistically out of 40 marks, just like the real exam.

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.
