A1 French Level
You're About to Start in French!
Discover how rewarding it can be with our French course for beginners. Our approach begins with oral communication before moving to written exercises, allowing you to quickly engage in simple everyday conversations. For this initial level, there’s no need to purchase any materials; we’ll provide PDFs and educational resources for free to help you become acquainted with our instructors and methodology.
What Awaits You in This French Course for Beginners?
You’ll start by learning how to introduce yourself—covering details like your identity, age, profession, the languages you speak, and information about your family. You’ll talk about your work and living situations and learn to describe people physically. Through practical role-plays, you will master ordering in restaurants, shopping in apparel and footwear stores, and handling situations in hotels, train stations, and airports. Additionally, you’ll learn to describe your daily routines, search for housing or employment, and conduct brief professional interviews.
Is Grammar Necessary?
Many learners wish they could skip grammar, but it’s essential for true proficiency. However, we emphasize grammar only when it’s crucial, using it as a supportive tool rather than the main focus of your studies. Our extensive experience teaching French beginners from various linguistic backgrounds enables us to simplify complex ideas and tailor them to fit all learning styles.

Flexibility is our forte
If you’re unsure about your current level, don’t hesitate to contact us for an assessment test. If you’re between two levels, you can take a few discounted private lessons before joining the A-level group!
Throughout this level, you’ll regularly take mock DELF tests to help you track your progress and prepare for any future exams.

B2 French Level
Welcome to B2 - Vantage level!
You’ve left the Threshold level behind! You already have a solid foundation in French, but don’t stop now. Welcome to the B2 level French course!
At this stage, grammar doesn’t hold any surprises for you anymore. You’re familiar with the subjunctive, conditional, comparative and superlative forms, relative pronouns, object pronoun placement, and much more. Now it’s time to strengthen those skills while exploring increasingly abstract topics like the concept of happiness, appearances, the environment, the role of languages in our lives, our relationship with politics, technology, education, and work.
B2 French certifications
Mastering the French language level B2 is essential if you’re aiming to become a French citizen or enroll in a Master’s program in a French-speaking country. If you have an exam to prepare for, rest assured that you’re in good hands. Dolly Arbaji is a certified DELF/DALF examiner and has also taken the TEF Canada herself, so she knows exactly what to expect and will take your preparation very seriously. Many of her students have already earned their French certifications, and as she always says: “If you follow my instructions and dedicate a reasonable amount of time, success is guaranteed!”
B2 Level Description
Vantage: “Can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in his/her field of specialisation. Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party. Can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.”
