Which French channel to start with

ChannelsAny Made for learners Real-world content

Ranked by median difficulty, easiest first. The bar is a range, not a label — a channel typically spans a wide stretch of the scale, so one level would be false for its own hardest videos.

#	Channel	Level range (0–100)	Median	Typical band	Pace	Videos	Hours
1	innerFrench	4–45	8	B1-B2	slow	211	113 h
2	Français Authentique	4–42	8	B1-B2	slow	198	50 h
3	Piece of French	4–36	8	B1-B2	slow	69	16 h
4	Français avec Nelly	5–31	8	B1-B2	slow	129	25 h
5	Français avec Pierre	5–27	9	B1-B2	slow	185	38 h

5 of these 5 channels carry the same vocabulary band (B1-B2), and their scores still run from 4 to 45. That gap is pace: what separates the easiest of these channels from the hardest is how fast people talk, not which words they use. How that is measured →
