Ready to move beyond B2 and keep building your French? This advanced French course is ideal for learners who have completed our Intermediate French: B2 Conclusion course or have approximately 450 hours of prior study and wish to focus purely on developing confidence and fluency in spoken French rather than reading and writing.

Through interactive discussions, debates, role-plays, and conversation activities, you will build greater fluency and flexibility in spoken French towards an advanced level. Sessions explore a range of contemporary cultural, social, and professional themes, allowing you to express opinions, compare perspectives, and engage in more sustained and nuanced conversation. The course emphasises extending vocabulary and idiomatic expression, refining pronunciation and natural speech flow, and developing strategies for managing discussions, clarifying meaning, and adapting language across formal and informal contexts.

DELIVERY MODE
