Apply for this course
You will have been studying now long enough to have enough language to get by, with sufficient vocabulary to express yourself on topics such as family, hobbies and interests, work, travel, and current events. You will express opinions, comparisons, uncertainty and doubts that take place in the past, the present, the future.
You are now using reasonably accurately a repertoire of frequently used "routines" and patterns associated with more predictable situations. As a result, you will keep going comprehensibly, even though pausing for grammatical and lexical planning and repair, especially in longer stretches of free production.

You will also be able to initiate and maintain a face-to-face and a telephone conversation on a wide range of topics. You will compare hobbies and entertainment, buy online and claim in French for delivery issues, analyse and create holiday plans, follow weather bulletins, and explain your professional experience in French or prepare for a job interview.

You will write and express your thoughts in a more sophisticated manner whilst developing your understanding of more native speakers from different parts of France and its former colonies and discovering for instance some touristic islands.
