Getting started with Ambrion: your level, your cards, your practice

Ambrion is a language-learning app for the web and iPhone, with one account across both. French is open now. You tell it your goal and your level, and each day it gives you a set of short cards picked for that level. Everything is open during the 7-day free trial. This walkthrough covers your first few days.

Step 1: Set Your Goal and Level

When you create an account, you choose what you are learning French for and the level you are at. If you are not sure of your level, take the level check in Practice, under Test center. It suggests a level and asks before it changes yours. You can also set your level yourself in your profile.

Step 2: Add Your Exam and Date

If you are preparing for an exam, open your profile and set your goal and exam date. The date sets the countdown on your Progress page. Exam practice in Ambrion currently covers TCF Canada.

Step 3: Do Your Daily Cards

Open Today each day. It gives you a set of short cards across listening, reading, words, writing and speaking, picked for your level. Start there; the cards take a few minutes at a time.

Step 4: Practise and Check Your Progress

Practice has longer exercises on one skill at a time, readings made from real French news articles, a timed TCF Canada reading mock exam, and a bank of past TCF Canada writing and speaking prompts with AI feedback. Progress shows your words, the days you practised and your results.

• Do the daily cards first, then add a longer exercise when you have time
• Take the level check again if the cards feel too easy or too hard
• Sit the reading mock exam in one go: 39 questions in 60 minutes
• Use the same account on the web and on iPhone; your progress is shared
