What Advanced (C1+) French means
At C1+ French, learners can express complex ideas precisely, understand nuance and adapt their language to different contexts.
Qualify an argument
Bien que l’argument soit globalement convaincant, il néglige plusieurs conséquences imprévues.
While the argument is broadly convincing, it overlooks several unintended consequences.
Convey nuance
Ce n’est pas la proposition elle-même que je conteste, mais la précipitation avec laquelle elle est mise en œuvre.
I do not oppose the proposal itself; what I question is the rushed way it is being implemented.
Adapt your register
Je vous saurais gré de bien vouloir reconsidérer cette décision au vu des informations complémentaires ci-jointes.
I would be grateful if you would reconsider the decision in light of the additional information attached.

About this course
The course develops advanced French through discussion and listening, with topics selected at the start of the term from areas such as current affairs and culture. Grammar needs are assessed with the tutor and incorporated into the topics rather than taught separately. Teaching centres on communication, including pair and group work, role plays and games. Learners work with audio-visual material and practise expressing opinions, identifying information from broadcasts or film extracts, and using more accurate sentence structures in speech and writing.
What you'll learn
- Discuss current affairs in French
- Express opinions about cultural matters
- Identify specific information in French radio, television or film extracts
- Construct more accurate sentences when speaking and writing
