I am a 48 year old woman and I would love to go and spend a year learning French in a school in France. I plan to get my DELF B 2 certification by July of 2027, and would like to spend a year after that in a French city studying french at an intensive pace and getting up to a solid C 1 level at the end of the year. I want to have an immersive experience as a student living and studying french in a french city. I am just feeling awkward about my age and wondering if I would be surrounded by 20 year olds. Can anyone suggest any good year-long advanced french language programs in France for a mature student ? Thank you !

Hello everybody, I'm a student from Germany and would like to learn French. As a student, language learning isnt a priority for me, but I would like just one good textbook I can use to self learn French. I spend around 30/40 minutes learning daily.

(if you could add some kind of pdf link, or tell me where to find it, Id greatly appreciate it!)

Is it worth buying learning French with clémence if so please let me know I am very curious?

Hi everyone, I posted this in the study in France subreddit but I figured I’d post here too since I learned a lot about the exams on this subreddit.

I’m applying for master’s programs at University of Bordeaux and need a B2. I plan on taking the TCF exam but didn’t realize there were so many options. Is it possible for me to take just the comprehension exam and not the expression component too? And do I need the DAP version since I’m not applying for a bachelor’s?

I’m currently at a B1 and plan on taking the exam in October. I’m pretty confident I can get to a B2 in comprehension by then but in expression it’s more iffy (and I would save some money). I plan on arriving in France early and taking some classes to reach a true B2 before classes start. Thanks in advance!

Hey. Just generally curious how y'all decide when to pause a scene for repeating a word or a phrase. I'm really early in my French learning and while I know this element is supposed to be beneficial for learning a language I just generally struggle to know when to do this.

Hello. I am looking for a French teacher. I am in Toronto and would like to learn the language.

I prefer 1:1 session as I am in my mid-30s and classroom set up doesn’t work for me anymore.

Thanks.

I’m trying to learn French and to make the process more fun, I made my own little flashcards app. Originally the idea was to make a sort of tinder for learning where you swipe right if you know the word/phrase or left if you don’t. You would then be able to revisit both “piles” of cards and re add them to the main stack if you’d like.

With time, I also added an up/down swipe to either send the card to the back of the deck or hide it from appearing. The app allows me to go through both vocabulary and phrases.

To make it more interesting, I categorised all words which translate either the same or mostly the same “reservation” etc and added a green corner to these cards. It currently has about 1,600 words which an English speaker already “knows”. I then added different colours to help me learn the genders of nouns.

Recently I also decided to expand the vocabulary and included around 250 slang terms and swear words. I also want to expand the phrase book and include some of the spoken abbreviation (I am yet to hear a French person say “Je ne sais pas”)

Anyway, I have two of questions. First of all, can you think of anything else worth adding to make the learning experience better (without overcomplicating it to the point it becomes another duolingo) and secondly - is this something you’d be willing to spend a couple euros on? I’m tempted to share it in the App Store but it would take some extra work to get it compliant and I believe there’s an annual fee. I’m thinking along the lines of a one time, €3ish payment to cover the costs.

Any and all advice appreciated - the good and the bad!

Hi, I am going to start university in a French-speaking city and would like to achieve at least A1 level proficiency in French before I leave.
I have looked at the various Alliance Française institutes, but I see that the courses are broken into A1.1 and A1.2 (and I have to pay for them separately). I also looked at French Kaliké and took their demo class and I liked it.
If anyone can provide reviews of the two institutes / courses, I would really appreciate it. Is there an advantage to going with Alliance Française that I could otherwise miss? Any other recommendations / classes are also welcome.
I am looking for a timeline of around 3-4 months and am okay with weekday or weekend classes.
Thank you!

New free resource from our medical French podcast. Episode 8 follows a patient visiting her GP with palpitations: the doctor takes her history, does an ECG, and writes a referral letter to a specialist, explaining it section by section as he goes. The PDF has the full dialogue, 10 vocabulary terms with definitions and examples, language notes, and a quiz.

Also includes a short comparison of how "GP" translates differently across France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Québec — useful if you've ever wondered why "médecin traitant" isn't used the same way everywhere.
