Auto-évaluation
This section gives you an opportunity to test yourself and see what vocabulary you learned and what would be helpful to review once more. This “Auto-évaluation” or self-assessment may include a dictation. Remember that learning is a journey, not a destination. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you answer questions incorrectly. Mistakes are really just opportunities to learn more.
Use the blue “Lire” button to start the self-assessment. After responding to each question, select the blue “Vérifier” button to check each answer. Once you get to the bottom of the page, use the right arrow to move to the next set of questions.
After each self-test, be sure to review related parts of Le français interactif, for which this Pressbook is a companion site. There, you will find additional exercises, recordings, and grammar explanations.

Dictée
Dictées are classic assessments of listening comprehension, spelling, and grammar skills in the form of a dictation. One person reads sentences that participants write down word-for-word. From 1985 to 2005, a spelling championship, “Dicos d’or,” was held in France. It was originally a national dictation, but in 1992, it became a challenge in which international participants could also participate. There were also the “Dictées d’Amériques,” held in Québec, from 1994 to 2009. In 1995, this event opened its doors to competitors from Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Senegal.
During the dictation below, certain words will be spelled out. Please do not enter the word twice.
