Level C2 (proficient)
Telling a funny story with French idioms: recount a restaurant dinner gone wrong to a colleague in this C2 interactive scene. It’s Monday morning in Lille, and at the coffee machine Sophie wants to hear everything about your Saturday night at a little bistro in Vieux-Lille. A lukewarm dish, a proud chef, a waiter who stands his ground: the story is good, but only if you pick the right expressions. Can you tell it like a native, without getting lost in translation?
Talk with real French people
No fill-in-the-blanks here. Each interactive scene drops you into a real moment of everyday life in France, as if you were there: a French person speaks to you, in their own voice and at their own pace, and you decide what to say back.
Every answer counts. Find the right words and the conversation moves on. Get them wrong and they react, just like a real person would. Then you find out why, and you can try again.
Live a real French situation. Each scene puts you in an everyday moment, just as it would happen in France. Listen, then choose what to say.
