Search for French or Spanish grammar help and Kwiziq turns up again and again. It has grammar lessons with audio examples and a short quiz at the bottom, and a paid Premium plan built around personalised quizzes it calls kwizzes.
So is Premium worth $200.99 a year, or can you get what you need for free? We used Kwiziq's French and Spanish sites the way a new visitor does, got answers wrong on purpose, listened closely to the audio and read the price list.
Here's what we found, what Kwiziq costs and who it suits.
How we tested Kwiziq
Our team used Kwiziq's French and Spanish sites on the web as a guest on November 13, 2026. We read the A1 grammar lessons on regular -er verbs in French and regular -ar verbs in Spanish and played their audio examples. Then we took six of the 2-question A1 micro kwizzes at the bottom of the lessons: three in French (verb endings, colour adjectives and ne…pas) and three in Spanish (-ar verbs, adjective gender and estar). In five of them we picked a wrong answer on purpose: a wrong verb ending, a wrong gender and the wrong word order. We downloaded the lesson audio in both languages and listened to every clip, opened the features that ask you to register, and read the prices on Kwiziq's French and Spanish pricing pages.
What is Kwiziq, and how does it work?
Kwiziq, which writes its name KwizIQ on its site, is a grammar-first learning site with separate sites for French and Spanish. At its heart is a library of short grammar lessons sorted by CEFR level, from A1 upwards, and the ones we opened each ended with a small quiz.
At the bottom of the French lesson on regular -er verbs, the micro kwiz gave us Vous ________ dans un restaurant ("You work in a restaurant") with a drop-down menu of verb forms to fill the gap. We picked travaillent on purpose, and the results page opened with the headline "Halfway there."
The paid side is built on top of that. Kwiziq says a free level test places you, and its "AI coach" Kwizbot then builds you a Study Plan, sets custom 10-question tests based on that plan and tracks what you've mastered in a Brainmap. Its tour page describes the Brainmap as "a very smart, detailed and ever-changing map made just for you", divided into grammar areas within each CEFR level.
If you've used Lawless French, its practice site runs on Kwiziq. Progress with Lawless French says it has "teamed up with KwizIQ" and offers "the tailored lessons, exercises and kwizzes built with KwizIQ's award-winning language learning technology."
What can you do on Kwiziq for free?
More than you might expect, even without an account. As a guest, we could read every grammar lesson we opened, play its audio examples and take its micro kwiz, then see our results straight away.
Everything personal needs at least a free account. When we started a typed fill-in-the-blanks test or a dictation marked "Free", or clicked "Explain this" on a quiz result, Kwiziq asked us to "Register for FREE". The level test link led to the sign-up page, and the Brainmap page sent us to the login screen.
Kwiziq's pricing page lists what a free account gets: "10 kwizzes per month", "Limited challenges" (its note says "Access only our exercises marked as free."), one Notebook and a "Basic Brainmap", plus the personalised Study Plan, level test and progress report that Premium users also get. Kwiziq says its free level test "poses between 8 to 18 expert-created French questions per level".
So the lessons cost nothing, and a free account is where Kwiziq's personal kwizzes, its "Explain this" lessons and progress tracking begin. Premium is for when 10 kwizzes a month isn't enough.
What are Kwiziq's French and Spanish grammar lessons like?
They're short, tidy and written by named teachers. The French A1 lesson on regular -er verbs is credited to "Qualified French Expert Aurélie Drouard", and the Spanish one on regular -ar verbs to "qualified Spanish expert Ana Matilla". Each gives you a conjugation table, a few notes and example sentences with an English translation and a play button.
The French lesson includes a pronunciation tip that beginners often miss: "The -es ending for tu and the -ent ending for ils/elles are written but NOT pronounced. When spoken they sound like joue." That's the kind of note that saves you from saying ils parlent with a sounded ending for months.
The Spanish A1 -ar verbs lesson we read teaches the Spain forms alongside the rest. Its table includes vosotros / vosotras -áis, and one example is Vosotras siempre cantáis la misma canción. That suits you if you're learning the Spanish of Spain. If you're learning Latin American Spanish, you can skip that row, since ustedes covers it there.
Do Kwiziq's micro kwizzes explain your mistakes?
Not for a guest. Each micro kwiz asks two questions with a drop-down menu for the gap. On the results page, your wrong choice gets a red cross and the right one a green tick, with the English translation and sometimes a hint, but no reason for the mistake. Here's what happened when we got answers wrong on purpose:
| Course and topic | Our wrong choice | What Kwiziq showed |
|---|---|---|
| French: -er verbs | Vous travaillent dans un restaurant | A red cross, a tick on travaillez and the hint to conjugate travailler in the present |
| French: colour adjectives | une cravate marronne | A red cross and a tick on marron, with nothing about marron never changing its ending |
| French: ne…pas | nous ne pas rentrons | A red cross and a tick on ne rentrons pas |
| Spanish: -ar verbs | Yo no bailas muy bien | A red cross, a tick on bailo and the hint to conjugate bailar in the present |
| Spanish: adjective gender | El ejercicio es complicada | A red cross and a tick on complicado |
Every French result also came with a box from Kwizbot: "Nice try... We've got some work to do. I'm Kwizbot, your AI French coach, I'm here 24/7 to help you master French up to 10x faster (according to our users)." It then asks you to register so your results are saved.
Kwiziq puts an "Explain this" button next to every question. When we clicked it after getting marronne wrong, a window opened: "Register for FREE to see this lesson".
For a beginner, a red cross on marronne with no word on why is a puzzle. Most French colour adjectives change in the feminine (vert becomes verte), so the obvious guess is wrong. As a guest, read each lesson before its quiz and treat the quiz as a quick check of what you just read.
One more thing to know: every micro kwiz question we saw, eight lessons' worth, used a drop-down menu. You recognise the right form rather than type it, so accents and spelling don't come into it. Kwiziq's typed fill-in-the-blanks tests, which come with an accent picker, ask you to register first.
How does Kwiziq's audio sound?
Each example is one or two short sentences, about one to five seconds long. In the French -er verbs lesson, the examples sounded to us like the French of France, with both male and female voices and no English inside the clips.
The Spanish examples sounded to us like text-to-speech, with a flat melody and no breath sounds. The files themselves agree: every Spanish clip we downloaded carries the tag "Generated by Acapela VaaS", Acapela being a commercial text-to-speech service, with voice names such as ines22k and antonio22k. The voices sounded to us mostly like Spain Spanish, with the th sound in ciudad and canción, which matches the vosotros forms in the A1 -ar verbs lesson we read.
The clips are there to listen to. The lesson pages we used let you play each example, and nothing asked us to say it back. For pronunciation practice, Copycat Cafe goes further: you say each line of an everyday conversation aloud and get a 0–100 pronunciation score on every word, with a tip on what to change for your next try.
Can Kwiziq help you speak French or Spanish?
Not yet. Kwiziq's French and Spanish speaking pages both say the same thing: "Our amazing team is working hard to provide you with French-speaking exercises with the same quality as our other types of exercises." Until then, they invite you to create a free account "to practise your French and be the first to hear when we release our very own French-speaking exercises!"
For now, Kwiziq recommends "taking 1-on-1 lessons with a tutor on LanguaTalk". If you're weighing that route, our Langua review covers LanguaTalk's AI conversation app.
If you'd rather practise speaking on your own, Copycat Cafe is built for that, with everyday conversations you say aloud line by line. It pairs well with Kwiziq: grammar from the lessons, speaking from the conversations.
How much does Kwiziq Premium cost?
Kwiziq Premium costs $31.49 a month, $78.99 every three months, $200.99 a year or $316.99 every two years on Kwiziq's pricing page. The Spanish pricing page shows the same prices. Prices checked November 13, 2026.
| Plan | You pay | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Every month | $31.49 each month | $31.49 |
| Every 3 months | $78.99 every 3 months | $26.33 |
| Every year | $200.99 a year | $16.75 |
| Every 2 years | $316.99 every 2 years | $13.21 |
The yearly plan costs less than seven months of the monthly one, so the monthly plan only makes sense for a short burst before an exam or a trip. Premium removes the free plan's limits: Kwiziq lists "Unlimited kwizzes", "Unlimited exercises, reading comprehension & weekly writing & listening challenges", unlimited Notebooks and a "Premium Brainmap". Kwiziq offers a 7-day money-back guarantee and says: "We'll automatically renew your subscription after the end of the initial period. You can cancel at any time."
Is Kwiziq worth it?
For grammar, the free lessons are worth your time; the French lesson's tip on silent -es/-ent endings is a good example. Premium is for learners who use up the 10 kwizzes a month that Kwiziq gives free accounts. Here's how the strengths and weak spots from our test add up:
Pros
- Short, clear grammar lessons, free without an account
- Lessons by named teachers, with conjugation tables, examples and translations
- Useful extras, such as the French tip on silent verb endings
- Example sentences come with audio, and the French audio sounded to us like the French of France
- A quick 2-question check at the end of each lesson we opened
Cons
- As a guest, micro kwizzes don't say why you were wrong
- The micro kwizzes we saw used drop-down menus, so they test recognition
- The Spanish audio sounded to us like text-to-speech
- The A1 -ar verbs lesson we read teaches vosotros, and its voices sounded to us like Spain Spanish
- No speaking exercises yet, and Premium is expensive month to month
Kwiziq suits you if grammar is the part of French or Spanish you want to get straight, or you like reading a short rule and testing it right away. Its lessons are also a good reference to keep open next to another course.
Skip it if you want to speak, since Kwiziq doesn't practise that yet, or if you want every quiz mistake explained without signing up.
What are the best alternatives to Kwiziq?
It depends on what you need next. For a full course or a daily app, our guides to the best apps to learn French and the best apps to learn Spanish compare the main options. If you want to check the French you write, our guide to French grammar checkers covers the tools that correct your sentences.

If you want to speak French or Spanish, Copycat Cafe is built for that: you hear an everyday conversation, say each line with a 0–100 score on every word, then use it with Copy, your AI conversation partner. It costs $14.50 a month billed as $174 a year, or $29 a month, with a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.
