Start Typing FreeFrench Typing Test
Type common French words, accents included, and get your WPM and accuracy the moment you finish. Accented letters count as their own characters, so the test measures real French typing.
Before you start
Test setup
- 527 common French words
- Accents: é, è, ê, à, â, ù, î, ô, ç and œ
- 10 to 100 words per run
- WPM plus accuracy
How to take it
- Click the test area and start typing; the clock starts on your first key.
- Type accented letters as they appear: é, è, ê, à, â, ù, î, ô, ç is not the same character as the plain letter.
- Choose 25, 50 or 100 words before you start to change the length.
- Fix mistakes with Backspace; corrected errors still count in accuracy.
How scoring works
WPM uses the standard five-character word. An accented letter typed with a dead key counts as one character, the same as any other letter.
About the french test
The French test uses TypePlay's list of 527 common French words, written for typing practice. Typical words: de, la, le, et, les, des, en, une. Longer ones include toujours, plusieurs, beaucoup, maintenant.
Typing French accents
French keyboards in France use the AZERTY layout, where A and Q, and Z and W, swap places compared with QWERTY, and é, è, à and ç have their own keys on the number row. The circumflex (ê, â, î, ô) is a dead key next to P. On QWERTY with US-International, type ^ then the vowel, or ` then the vowel for grave accents.
Why practise in your own language
Typing speed is partly memory: your fingers learn the letter patterns of the words you type most. Practising in French trains those patterns directly, so the speed you build carries over to the emails, essays and messages you actually write.
Tip for a cleaner run
French has more accent types than most languages: practise é and è separately, because they sit on different keys and are easy to swap.
French typing test: common questions
Do I need a French keyboard for this test?
No. A French layout makes accents quicker, but any keyboard works with an international layout such as US-International, where accents are typed as a dead key followed by the letter.
Do accents count as mistakes if I leave them out?
Yes. A plain letter where the word has an accent is a different character, so it counts as an error. That keeps the score honest for real French typing.
Is French typing slower than English typing?
A little at first, because accents add keystrokes and the word patterns are new. With practice most bilingual typists get close to their English speed.
