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.
