If you are applying for French citizenship, a long-term residence permit, or a French visa, you must prove your French language proficiency. For most applicants, this means passing a DELF, TCF, or TEF exam, and/or succeeding in a French naturalisation interview.
Thanks to recent advances, AI-powered French learning tools now make it easier to practice speaking, listening, and exam preparation — especially when combined with guided tutoring.
In this guide, we present the best AI and online tools to practice French for France citizenship and visa tests, and explain how to use them efficiently.
French Language Requirements for Citizenship and Visas
Before choosing the right tools, you need to understand the official requirements:
French citizenship (naturalisation): B1 oral level required
Carte de résident (10-year permit): A2 or B1 depending on your case
Recognised French exams:
DELF A2 or B1
TCF IRN
TEF Intégration, Résidence et Nationalité
In addition to language exams, applicants must often pass a prefecture interview that evaluates:
Spoken French
Ability to communicate clearly
Knowledge of French values and institutions
👉 This is where many candidates struggle — not with grammar, but with speaking confidently.
AI Tools to Practice Spoken French (Essential for Interviews)
AI Conversation Practice
AI tutors allow you to practice spoken French in realistic situations, such as:
Introducing yourself
Talking about your job and life in France
Answering interview-style questions
Describing plans, opinions, and experiences
These tools:
Correct grammar and vocabulary
Improve pronunciation
Build fluency without stress
💡 Why this matters
Most exam failures happen during oral tests or interviews, not written exercises.

AI Tools for DELF, TCF and TEF Exam Preparation

Writing prompts with AI correction
Speaking questions similar to official exams
They help you:
Understand exam formats
Manage time effectively
Identify weaknesses early
💡 Best practice:

AI Tools for the French Citizenship Interview (Civic Knowledge)
Language alone is not enough. For naturalisation, you must show understanding of:
French history and symbols
Republican values
Institutions and public services
Everyday life in France
Some apps and AI tools focus on:
Civic questions
Naturalisation interview simulations
Quizzes on French values
💡 We strongly recommend practicing spoken answers, not just memorising facts.
Using AI (Like ChatGPT) to Practice French Effectively
General AI tools can be extremely powerful when used correctly.
Example prompts:
“Speak to me in French at B1 level and correct my mistakes.”
“Simulate a French citizenship interview.”
“Correct my answer and explain the errors simply.”
This approach is ideal for:
Oral fluency
Writing short answers
Confidence building
⚠️ However, AI alone cannot always tell you:
If your level is sufficient for the exam
If your answers match official expectations
👉 That’s why combining AI with professional guidance is the fastest way to succeed.
