You will certainly want to participate in the worldwide extension of the Olympi@des as soon as it is organized in your country...

From now on you can practise yourself by clicking on "Jouez".

You don't quite understand it? Here are some tips which will help you to assemble a personal question list from this huge question database.

How can such a personal question list be drawn up? A piece of cake! You can refine your selection from one screen to another. These are the different criteria that will be presented to you:

Choices to be made:

Subject of the game

Français:	Olyfran.com will only offer "language questions" with French as target language.
Francophonie:	Olyfran.com will submit questions that only concern the general knowledge of the French-speaking countries (culture, history, geography, customs, gastronomy, sports,...).

Work mode

Test:	This procedure will give you a final score and you can register in the "hit-parade". You won't have access to the correction and the correct answers until after the test.
Entraînement:	By choosing this criterion, you will have immediate access to the correct solution of every question. On the other hand, your score won't be given and your name won't appear in the "hit-parade".

Source language

There are two main question categories:

1. French-French questions (completely formulated in French)
2. questions in which French (target language) and another language of your choice (source language) are combined

Level of difficulty

According to your command of the French language, you can also determine the degree of difficulty of the questions.

• Are you a beginner? Choose 1.
• French doesn't hold any secrets for you anymore? Choose 5.
• Do you want to have a taste of all levels? Choose Tout.

Aspect of the language

Depending on your interests or your needs, you can activate several aspects, even Tout (= all aspects)! If you want your name to appear in the hit parade, you will have to choose Tout.

Number of questions

Olyfran.com will offer at least 10 questions, but you can always ask for more. You can do so in multiples of five. We recommend you to begin with a small amount and to increase the amount afterwards.

...Please wait a few seconds...
...a good cocktail requires some time...
...a combination of all your selections is being prepared...
...the only thing you have to do now, is to take up the challenge!

Animation

Animation is not possible for low bandwidth (bande passante lente).

Those who have chosen high bandwidth (bande passante rapide), will proceed to the last selection screen and will be offered a choice between two screen types.

Do you like dynamic screens, electronic music (© Olyfran, 2002)?

Click Animé.

Do you prefer austerity for perfect concentration?

Click Animé.

Psst! Missed any questions? A bad score? Activate réessayez.

Your score can be interpreted on two levels.

First of all, you can watch the number of correct answers. This score is surely satisfactory to know you level of French!

But if you think you are a real champion, check then the points you won during this game. On condition that you have chosen for the whole of the aspects of the language ("tout"), you can get registered in the hit parade!

The number of points won per game depends on several factors:

1. on the number of correct answers
2. on the degree of difficulty of the selected questions
3. on the time you needed to answer the questions compared to the average time needed by the test groups.

Are you proud of your result? Do you want to show the whole world that you are excellent at French? Click Hit parade: if your name and score appear, you are a real champion! Congratulations! Sooner or later you will win the Olympi@des!
