How long to learn French to B2
B2 is where French has to work under pressure: meetings, exams, arguments. The plateau before it is famous. People collect grammar and still leak points on the oral.
Aim at B2 if
A job, a university, or DELF B2 is on the calendar — or B1 already feels too small.
- You can chat, then you blank in a meeting or on the oral
- You have a date, or you want an honest multi-month plan
- You need speaking as much as essays
How B2 prep runs here
Past-paper style tasks when you have a date. Otherwise, work and argument French that happens to match the criteria.
- Timed practice, not a vibe check
- A plan for the weeks you still have
Why B2 takes longer than you want
A1–A2 add phrases. B2 adds control: you must structure a spoken argument, handle interruption, and keep grammar from collapsing when you are nervous. That is hours of production, not a new app tree.
Honest calendar
From a solid B1, a focused oral-heavy plan can be a matter of months. From A2, think well over a year for most working adults. From scratch, B2 is a long project — see our general timeline, then add speaking hours.
Weekly 1 on 1 is the default. Denser in the last weeks before a paper.
The oral is the leak
