You have been training on ECL Anglais for a while. The grammar, vocabulary and reading quizzes and the level test stay free and unlimited — that doesn't change, and it won't. What changes is that there is now a Premium plan to go further when an exam is coming up.
This guide explains exactly what it adds, what it does not take away, and why it exists.
What was missing when the exam got close
The written quizzes teach you the language. But on exam day, three things are missing if you haven't prepared for them:
- You only hear the audio once. Without practice on real listening, the pace, the liaisons and the weak words cost you points you shouldn't be losing.
- You see "28/40" without knowing why. A correct answer on screen teaches you nothing: what makes you progress is understanding the reason for every mistake.
- You have no score out of 100. "I'm revising" is not a measurement. "68/100, weak in listening" is one.
Premium answers those three gaps, and nothing else.
The three things Premium adds
1. Listening tests with audio, in exam format
The first listening test stays free, so you can see the format: a continuous track, questions as you listen, just like the real thing. Premium unlocks all the others — enough to train your ear under real conditions, not on two-sentence snippets.
2. An explanation for every mistake, with no limit
On the free plan you get a few explanations per day. On Premium, every mistake you make is explained: the rule at play, why the wrong answer is a trap, the point to review. That is what turns a quiz session into a real lesson.
3. A full mock exam, scored out of 100
A model exam running through listening, grammar, vocabulary and reading, marked at the end. You get a global score out of 100, your score for every category, and targeted practice suggestions for your weak spots. It's a diagnosis: you know where you stand, and exactly what to work on before the exam.
What Premium does not change
Everything that is free stays free. Premium takes nothing away, it adds.
- The grammar, vocabulary, reading and training modules: free, unlimited, no credit card.
- The level test: free.
- One full listening test: free.
- Creating an account: free, in 30 seconds.
If you stay on the free plan, there is nothing to do. Your account does not change.
A progression path, not just a mock exam
Premium is not just one full test to take on the last weekend. It is a path: a large number of tests that rise in level, all the way to the exam.
- You measure your starting point. A first mock exam gives you a score out of 100 and a score per category.
- You work on your weak spots. Every mistake is explained, and the practice suggestions send you to the modules where you lose points.
- You move up a level. The listening tests follow one another with increasingly demanding material. Your ear goes from picking out words to anticipating them.
- You get into exam conditions. You take a mock exam again, compare it with the first score and see your progress in black and white.
One month is enough to see where you stand. To progress from one level to the next takes time: revise, listen again, retake a test, measure the gap. That is exactly what the 3-month plan covers.
The two plans
| 1 month | 3 months | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $4.99 | $11.99 |
| Price per month | $4.99 | about $4.00 (−20%) |
| Best for | Seeing the format, taking a mock exam, trying it out | Preparing for an exam and progressing level by level |
| Listening tests, explanations, mock exam | All included | All included |
Both plans give you exactly the same benefits. The only difference is the length of your preparation, and a monthly price that drops by 20% over 3 months. Neither locks you in: you can cancel at any time, and your access stays open until the end of the period already paid.
For comparison, a similar training platform sits between $10 and $40 per month, and a private lesson is around $30 an hour.
These prices are deliberately low. ECL Anglais is an independent project: by subscribing, you get the audio, the explanations and the mock exams — and you help the project grow, add tests and stay online. No artificial countdown: the only deadline is your own exam.
FAQ — ECL Anglais Premium
Do the free quizzes become paid?
No. Grammar, vocabulary, reading, the level test and one listening test stay free and unlimited for everyone. Premium adds content, it removes none.
Which plan should I choose, 1 month or 3 months?
One month is enough to discover the format and take a mock exam. The 3 months ($11.99, about $4.00 per month) are made for progressing level by level: measure, work, retake a test, compare. The benefits are identical.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes, no commitment. Your access stays active until the end of the period already paid (1 month or 3 months), then it stops. No hidden renewal.
What exactly does Premium unlock?
Three things: all listening tests with their audio, an explanation for every one of your mistakes with no daily limit, and a full mock exam scored out of 100 with your score for every category.
Can I stay on the free plan?
Yes. The free plan is not a trial: it is a complete product for training. Premium is the next step, for people working toward a date.
How does payment work?
Payment goes through Stripe, secured. You are billed at each period (every month, or every 3 months depending on your plan), you get an invoice every time, and you can cancel from your account.
