DALF C1/ C2 - French as a Foreign Language Course for Advanced Learners
From 68.32 C$ /h
This course is for you if you're tired of talking about your weekend, the weather, and the passage of time. You're dying to talk about serious topics (1), offbeat or satirical topics, with completely invented news (2), to listen to excerpts from podcast episodes (3) and to be able to understand the subtleties.
You want to understand and use the French that is really spoken and not the one that is taught to you in a textbook.
You want :
• use elaborate and varied connectors;
• develop elaborate arguments, illustrated by concrete examples;
• defend your point of view with spontaneity and precision;
• subtly indicate your agreement or disagreement;
• have a vast lexical repertoire allowing you to deal precisely with numerous current subjects;
• understand and use slang in appropriate contexts;
• understand and use idiomatic expressions.
In short, you are keen to improve your French (spoken and/or written, informal and/or informal), to develop your listening skills and to be able to interact with French speakers in all types of situations.
This is where it's happening!
Examples of media we will use:
1 “Understanding everything about the debate on anonymity on the Internet” – Les Échos
“With planes grounded, virtual tourism takes off” – BFM Business
“Space tourism: space is not a jungle” – Le Monde
2 “From 2026, Christmas will no longer be a holiday and the government will take 75% of your gifts” – Le Gorafi
3 “The secret of “coffee and cigarette”: a research avenue” – Radio France/France Info
“Behind the scenes of the influencer market” – TV5Monde
