Practise every component with a realistic AI examiner that scores you the way the real thing does.
Read a short French passage aloud, then answer two questions about it. Trains pronunciation and comprehension under exam pressure.
A real-life scenario in French — bullet-point prompts, plus the chance of an unprepared question. The AI examiner responds in role.
Describe a picture in French, then a wider conversation on the same theme. The AI's questions adapt to your answers.
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.
