Our classes are divided in levels according to two main language scales: the CECRL used worldwide and the Échelle
Québecoise,
used in Canada.
CCERL | A1 | A2 | B1 | B2 | C1 | C2 |
Échelle Québécoise | 1 - 2 | 3 - 4 | 5 - 6 | 7 - 8 | 9 - 10 | 11 - 12 |
What it means: | I know and recognize learnt-by-heart words and short sentences. | I make my own short sentences. I understand simple statement. | I can deal with unexpected situations whilst travelling in a French-speaking region. | I share my point of view with detailed arguments and complex structures | I can express myself fluently and spontaneously in social and professional surroundings. | I can take part effortlessly in any discussion, using idiomatic expressions. I can read and produce research work. |
Number of hours to reach this level* | 80 hrs | +110 hrs | +150 hrs | +200 hrs | +300 | +++ |
*This time is approximate and will depend on each student (native tongue, age, motivation, knowledge, type of training and time spent
outside classroom using French, etc.). Please note that for most levels, class time is not enough to reach the next level; we encourage
you to use your membership to attend our Events (to speak with native speakers!) and borrow French books in our Library!
