What our learners say
Took the DELF B2 in June and passed. The practice tests were the closest thing to the real paper I found anywhere, and having every answer explained meant I actually learned from the mistakes instead of just ticking them wrong.
I am not sitting any exam. I moved to Vienna and just needed to stop sounding like a tourist. The theory book is clear enough to work through on your own, which is more than I can say for the app I was using before.
Bought the three-level pack and I am glad I did. Started on B1, realised within two days it was too easy, jumped straight to B2 the same evening. Would have been annoying to pay twice.
Needed B1 for the citizenship application and had eight weeks. Printed the practice book and did one section a night on the train. Passed first time.
The listening audio is what sold me. You scan the code and it plays, no app, no account, nothing to sign up for. Proper speed too, not the slowed-down stuff you find on YouTube.
Paid once and that was it. No subscription quietly renewing every month for a course I never opened. The books are mine and they are not going anywhere.
The C1 material is genuinely hard, which is the point. I would not buy it unless you are solid at B2 first. For what it is, it is very well put together.
Printed both books at the local copy shop and had them bound. Cost almost nothing and now I have got a proper set on the desk. Being allowed to do that is underrated.

Yes. The practice book has a QR code: scan it with your phone and you go straight to the audio for the listening exercises, just like in the real exam. The recordings are in the language you are studying.
That's up to you: there's no timetable and no deadline. You can do a little every day or study in longer blocks at the weekend. If you have an exam booked, a good approach is to work through the theory book first and leave the practice tests for the final weeks.
