French for Inviting Classmates to Study Together: "On révise ensemble ?"
Learn to invite a classmate to study together in French, set a shared goal, and agree on a time and place. Elementary level, with pronunciation and usage notes.
By PookieFriends & plans · Yapr Learn
Inviting someone to study is not the same as making social plans. In French, you often use the pronoun "on" (we / one) to propose a shared academic activity, then name the subject and the goal. This lesson teaches you a short, natural sequence: get attention, propose studying together, say what you want to achieve, and agree on when and where. You will also learn how to accept or decline politely. The focus is on collaboration for schoolwork, not on casual outings.
By the end, you can…
- invite a classmate to study together using a natural French question.
- state a concrete study goal, such as reviewing for a test or doing homework.
- suggest a time and place and respond to an invitation politely.
Listen once. Try it slowly. Then say it without looking.

Tu veux réviser avec moi ?
Do you want to study with me?
tew vuh ray-vee-zay ah-vek mwah
Use with one classmate you address as tu. réviser means to review or study for a test; it is common in school contexts.
On peut étudier ensemble ?
Can we study together?
ohn puh ay-tew-dyay ahn-sahmbl
on is very common in spoken French for "we". This is a soft, friendly suggestion, not a command.
J'aimerais bien préparer le contrôle avec toi.
I would really like to prepare for the test with you.
zhay-muh-ray byan pray-pah-ray luh kohn-trohl ah-vek twah
Use this to state a study goal. le contrôle is a standard word for a test in school French.
On se retrouve à la bibliothèque à 16 heures ?
Shall we meet at the library at 4 p.m.?
ohn suh ruh-troov ah lah bee-lee-oh-tek ah sayz uhr
se retrouver means to meet up. In French, 16 heures is 4 p.m.; use the 24-hour clock for appointments.
D'accord, avec plaisir !
Okay, with pleasure!
dah-kor, ah-vek play-zeer
A warm, polite acceptance. You can also say "Oui, bonne idée !" (Yes, good idea!).

Make it make sense
Useful pattern
To propose a shared study activity, use "On + verb + ensemble ?" or "Tu veux + infinitive + avec moi ?". Examples: "On révise ensemble ?" (Shall we review together?), "Tu veux travailler avec moi ?" (Do you want to work with me?). Add a goal with "pour + infinitive": "On révise ensemble pour le contrôle ?" (Shall we review together for the test?). To set a time and place, use "On se retrouve à ... à ..." : "On se retrouve à la bibliothèque à 15 heures."
When to use it
Use these phrases with classmates you already know and address as tu. If you are not sure whether to use tu or vous, use vous: "Vous voulez réviser avec moi ?" (Do you want to study with me?). For a group, say "Vous voulez réviser ensemble ?" or "On révise ensemble ?". Keep the tone friendly and concrete: name the subject (le français, les maths), the task (réviser, faire les devoirs), and the goal (pour le contrôle, pour l'examen).
Listen to each line, then take one part and reply out loud.
Salut ! Tu veux réviser avec moi pour le contrôle de français ?
Hi! Do you want to study with me for the French test?sah-lew! tew vuh ray-vee-zay ah-vek mwah poor luh kohn-trohl duh frahn-sayOui, bonne idée ! On se retrouve quand ?

Okay, with pleasure. I'll bring my revision cards.dah-kor, ah-vek play-zeer. zhah-port may feesh duh ray-vee-zyohnA little context goes a long way
In many French-speaking school settings, group study is common, but the invitation is usually direct and practical: name the subject, the goal, and a specific time. Using "on" makes the proposal feel shared rather than like a demand. In more formal contexts, such as with a teacher or a new classmate you address as vous, use "Vous voulez réviser avec moi ?" or "Est-ce que vous aimeriez réviser ensemble ?". Regional differences exist in school vocabulary: in France, a test is often un contrôle; in Quebec, un examen or une évaluation may be more common, and "une bibliothèque" is a library, while "une librairie" is a bookshop.
One thing to watch for
Saying "Je veux étudier avec toi" as an invitation.
Try this instead: This sounds like a statement about your own wish, not a question to the other person. For an invitation, ask "Tu veux étudier avec moi ?" or "On étudie ensemble ?". Example: "Tu veux réviser avec moi ?" is a real question; "Je veux réviser avec toi" is just information.
Your turn
Try answering out loud before checking a possible answer.
1How do you ask a classmate to study together using "on"?
Show a sample answer
On révise ensemble ?
This uses on + verb + ensemble to propose a shared activity. You can also say "On étudie ensemble ?" or "On travaille ensemble ?" depending on the task.
2You want to study for the math test with a classmate. Say it in French.
Show a sample answer
Tu veux réviser avec moi pour le contrôle de maths ?
This combines an invitation (Tu veux réviser avec moi ?) with a goal (pour le contrôle de maths). You could also say "On révise ensemble pour le contrôle de maths ?".
3Suggest meeting at the library at 2 p.m. in French.
Show a sample answer
On se retrouve à la bibliothèque à 14 heures ?
se retrouver is used for meeting up. 14 heures is 2 p.m. in the 24-hour clock. You can also say "à deux heures de l'après-midi" in more conversational French.
To invite a classmate to study, use a short question with on or tu veux, name the subject and goal, then suggest a time and place. Keep it concrete and friendly.
