Level 5 Express Opinions and Discuss Complex Topics
Master the conditional with our Level 5 French course. Talk about technology, music, and literature in French, in 1 month. Live online classes with native teachers, from anywhere in Canada.
You’ve Completed Level 4 and Know the Present, Future, and Past Tenses: Level 5 takes that foundation into conditional tenses and more advanced grammar. This is the point where French starts feeling truly expressive.
You’ve Studied French Before but Want to Reinforce Key Concepts: A good re-entry level for revisiting Level 4 skills (opinions, anecdotes, cultural conversation) before pushing further.
You’re Preparing for the TEF or TCF and Need to Solidify Intermediate Grammar: The conditional tense shows up constantly on the exam. Level 5 is where students preparing for TEF/TCF lock it in.
The curriculum
What You’ll Master at Level 5, Or Begin the Full Path from Here
At Level 5, you’ll learn to express opinions and engage in conversations about technology, arts, and everyday life, while mastering the conditional present tense.
This Level 5 class stands on its own, or slots directly into the rest of the French Transformation path. Your call:
Pair Level 5 with Level 6 and you round out the full foundation: fluent enough for everyday situations, at a genuine B1.
If your goal is to prepare for the TEF or TCF exam, we also offer the option to enroll in French Level 5 + Level 6, followed by a 6-month TEF/TCF preparation course so you’re ready on exam day.
Conditional Present - 1 Month
This level covers the conditional tenses, plus discussions on technology, music, and literature. You learn to communicate on a wider range of topics.
Real transformations, told by the students who lived them. Many prepared for the same TEF/TCF exam dates you are looking at now. Hear how they got there, one live class at a time.
I´m enrolled in a one year transformation course from level 0 to TEF/TCF exam. The course is well structured and giving you a lot of information. It goes without saying that there´s a lot of self-study needed outside of the course, however, you can always ask for a help from your teacher or study group. I spent my first 6 months of the course with Frédérique and I´m so grateful for everything I learnt in her classes. Her teaching style and positive attitude made classes easier. Even though the learning process was difficult (obviously, because it´s French), I had a lot of fun during the lessons.

I'm a learner of online courses from level 1 to level 6. The entire program is professionally designed, both challenging and rewarding. Under the guidance of my charismatic teacher, Anne, it's truly possible to go from not being able to pronounce anything at the beginning to communicating confidently within six months. I was indeed a complete beginner with zero background knowledge.

I was enrolled in the French levels 4-6 course with Maïwen over the last few months. All the students were very kind and all the material were explained clearly. Due to the small class size, every student has abundant opportunity to participate and practice the newly learned concepts, often in relationship to real life scenarios. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and improved tremendously.

I loved taking French classes with Maï! Learning a language can be challenging but Maï made it a very enjoyable experience. She is incredibly detail oriented and does a wonderful job of creating engaging course material based on one’s learning style and interests. She helped me improve my French from an A2 - B1 in 3-4 months!
