What I want to say

DELF refers to “pragmatic competence”

Presenting a Point of View and Defending It
“Il est vrai que les réseaux sociaux ont un impact positif, cependant il est nécessaire d’apprendre à les utiliser.”
Context: Share your opinion during a class, discussion group, or debate.

Reacting Spontaneously in a Complex Conversation
“Oui, c’est vrai, mais je ne suis pas tout à fait d’accord avec toi. En effet, …”
Context: Take part in a group discussion or respond during a meeting.

Telling a Personal Experience with Detail and Nuance
“Quand j’ai commencé à vivre à Paris, j’ai eu du mal avec l’administration, mais j’ai appris à m’adapter.”
Context: Talk about your personal life with nuance and chronology.

Understanding Formal and Informal Messages

Context: Understand emails, letters, or public announcements.

Writing an Argumentative Text
“Dans quelle mesure le bénévolat est une nécessité dans nos sociétés actuelles ?”

How I have to say it

DELF refers to “linguistic competence”

Use Complex and Flexible Structures (Grammar)
You build longer sentences with nuance, using connectors, passive voice, and the subjunctive when needed.
“Il est possible que ce soit annulé.” / “Bien que je comprenne ton avis, je ne suis vraiment pas d’accord.”

Speak Naturally with Real Spoken Rhythm
You hear and reproduce how French sounds in real life — linked words, elisions, and idioms.
You don’t speak word by word anymore — you speak in full flow.

Use Rich, Precise Vocabulary
You choose the right word for the right tone: formal, neutral, or informal.
You can use idiomatic phrases like “ça me dépasse” or “c’est pas gagné”.

Adapt Your Language to the Context
You shift easily between written and spoken French, and between personal and professional settings.
You know how to be polite, direct, or diplomatic — depending on who you’re talking to. According also to your personnality!
