French Learning Resources
What matters past B1: the subjunctive, register, DELF and TEF prep. The same research our curriculum is built on.
DELF and DALF: Format, Scoring, and Which Level to Target
The official French diplomas never expire, and DELF (A1–B2) and DALF (C1–C2) are scored differently enough that picking the right level matters.
The French Subjunctive: When and How to Use It
You know the forms but still freeze when the sentence demands one, because recognizing the indicative traps matters more than memorizing rules.
Learning French Beyond the Basics
You can hold a conversation and follow most of a podcast, yet the sense of improving has quietly stopped, right at the French intermediate plateau.

Geoff Bloom
Language Learner and Dioma Founder
I built Dioma’s approach to answer a question that I kept hitting on my language learning journey: “What actually moves the needle at the intermediate plateau, and what doesn’t?”
After 10 years of language learning across Spanish and Hebrew, I did a 6 month experiment where I tracked my errors by hand for a year.
Because of my busy life (3 kids, career)- the part of my routine that required feedback, speaking and writing, only made up eight to ten percent of my time.
I decided to build Dioma to close that gap, with targeted practice and real-time corrections on what you produce.
