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.

These are general examples of language use at this level, not a description of any individual course syllabus.

About this course

This course consolidates advanced French through contextual grammar revision, including past tenses, the subjunctive, conditional forms and prepositions, alongside pronunciation work. Lessons explore cinema, customs and traditions, science and technology, art, literature, social issues and current affairs. Teaching centres on spoken communication, with pair and group activities, role plays, games, presentations, hand-outs and audio-visual resources. Learners practise discussing and debating topics, reading newspapers and short stories, and expressing themselves with greater accuracy. Homework is highly recommended for consolidation.
