French — B1/B2 (Intermediate)

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

Taught by Camille Laurent

About this course

For learners who already have the basics and want to speak with genuine confidence. We expand into past and future tenses, idiomatic expressions, and longer conversations on real topics, then push into B2 territory: debate, authentic media, and the subtleties of register and tone. Expect to be speaking French for most of every session — that is where the leap to real fluency actually happens.
