DELF Junior A1: Your Child’s First Step Toward French Fluency | Presented by Frenchtree
Learning a new language is like opening a door to new cultures, ideas, and opportunities. For young learners in Canada, the DELF Junior A1 exam is the perfect place to start their French journey. At Frenchtree, we provide expert-led, engaging, and age-appropriate French learning that prepares students for success in their first official French exam.

🌱 What is the DELF Junior A1?

The DELF (Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française) is an internationally recognized certification awarded by the French Ministry of Education. The A1 Junior course level is specifically tailored for children and teenagers aged 12 to 17 who are beginners in French.

It’s the first level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which ranges from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficient). A1 means the learner can:

  • Introduce themselves and others
  • Understand basic questions and phrases
  • Respond to simple, everyday topics
  • Read and write short messages or descriptions
 

🇨🇦 Why DELF A1 Junior Matters for Students in Canada

French is one of Canada’s official languages, and acquiring it early offers several advantages:

✅ Benefits of Taking the DELF A1 Junior:

  • 📚 Reinforces what students learn in core or immersion French classes
  • 🏆 Adds a recognized certificate to your child’s academic achievements
  • 🗣️ Builds confidence in real-life communication
  • ✈️ Prepares for student exchanges, travel, or bilingual education
  • 💼 Provides a strong foundation for future DELF levels (A2, B1, B2…)

By earning the DELF Junior A1 certificate, your child proves their ability to use French in simple, everyday situations — a skill that sets them apart early.
