French Language Courses
Coordinate outings, suggest activities, and advise others in intermediate French through cultural interactions, family events, and group discussions.

Continue developing your intermediate French fluency and confidence with our Intermediate French: B1.7 Course, suitable for learners who have completed our Intermediate French: B1.6 Course or have approximately 360 hours of prior study. This course helps you communicate more confidently in French by organising outings, giving advice, persuading others, discussing family events, and exploring customs, cultural differences, and everyday behaviours. It is ideal for learners interested in learning French for cultural interest or personal enrichment in a supportive and interactive learning environment.

You will strengthen these communication skills while developing greater accuracy with expressions of purpose and emphasis, prepositional verbs, pronouns, and language used to express restriction, opposition, and concession. Vocabulary related to social interaction, family life, group activities, cultural customs, and expressing agreement and disagreement is introduced naturally through realistic communication activities.
