How does this manual work?

Understand Why Your Progress Seems To Slow Down After B2
You have already reached an advanced level in French (B2 and above). You can understand conversations, podcasts, and express yourself confidently in most situations. Yet, you may still feel that your French sounds a little too academic or lacks naturalness.
This workbook helps you understand what truly makes the difference at an advanced level: idiomatic expressions, cultural nuances, and authentic, everyday French.
Discover Idiomatic Expressions Through Real-Life, Emotion-Driven Dialogues
Through 10 original dialogues featuring Anne and Bérénice, you will discover idiomatic expressions in their natural context.
Each expression is explained clearly:
- its meaning;
- its origin;
- its nuances;
- how it is used in everyday French.
