Description
You finished Duolingo. Now what?
Petit Béret is the French grammar trainer built for the moment the fun apps stop working - when you hit the wall at B1 and need to understand the system behind the language, not just collect more points.

WHAT PETIT BÉRET TRAINS
The parts of French that common apps avoid:
• Conjugation - type every form by hand across all major tenses, from Présent to Conditionnel passé. No multiple choice. No guessing.
• Noun Gender - master the le/la distinction through suffix patterns and spaced repetition across A1–C2 vocabulary.
• Prepositions - learn which verbs take à, de, or nothing. The rule that no one teaches you explicitly.
• Pronouns - replace object nouns with the correct COD/COI pronoun. The step that separates B1 from B2.
• Subjunctive - decide Subjonctif or Indicatif in context, then produce the correct form under time pressure.
• Accents - type words exactly as they are spelled. é, è, ê, ë - no autocorrect, no shortcuts.
• Notebook - complete the full 8-form conjugation grid for any verb across 5 tenses and the Subjunctive.
