French Intermediate (A1/A2 → B1/B2)

Move from phrases to real fluency. Past and future tenses, nuance and debate, and the confidence to sound natural — not just correct.

About this course

For learners who already understand the basics and want to speak French with genuine confidence while preparing for the TEF or TCF.

You will strengthen past and future tenses, expand your vocabulary, use idiomatic expressions, and take part in longer conversations on real-life, professional, and social topics. As you progress toward B1/B2, you will practise understanding authentic media, organizing spoken and written responses, asking for information, expressing and defending opinions, persuading, debating, and adapting your register and tone to different situations.
