Prerequisite or Prerequisite Knowledge :

Level 7 (B2 equivalent): The learner understands most everyday conversations in standard French without assistance, at a normal speed. They can distinguish the main points of familiar, predictable or partially predictable texts on topics, with or without visual aids, if the language is clearly articulated (TV programs, radio, lectures). They can also understand factual information and opinions.

The learner communicates autonomously in conversations or informal presentations on concrete topics related to everyday needs (family, work, leisure). They are able to explain the advantages and disadvantages of two situations in order to make or explain a decision. They can also lead conversations to solve everyday problems, or report the essential elements of what someone says.
