DELF B1 Preparation – Your Step-by-Step Learning Path

Our DELF B1 courses follows a clear and methodical structure:

• a personalised study plan adapted to your level and objectives
• tailored materials specifically created for DELF B1 preparation
• regular practice with authentic exam-style exercises
• step-by-step work on listening, reading, writing, and speaking, with oral exercises, role-plays, and simulated exam speaking tasks included in each lesson

During lessons, you actively practice speaking and listening, developing fluency, confidence, and exam readiness. Homework complements the in-class work and includes targeted tasks to:

• consolidate grammar structures (past tenses, future, conditionals, connectors)

• practise written and oral comprehension
• develop structured written and oral production

All homework is corrected carefully to reinforce what you learned in class and ensure continuous progress throughout your DELF B1 preparation.

DELF B1 Preparation – Is This Your Level?

If you are unsure whether DELF B1 preparation is right for you, we offer an introductory assessment lesson.

During this session, we evaluate your speaking, listening, grammar, and writing skills.

For example, some learners may still need to consolidate A2-level skills, while others who are more advanced might be ready to jump directly to B2 preparation if they are underestimating their level.

Based on this assessment, we provide clear guidance and realistic advice, ensuring your DELF B1 preparation is well-timed, achievable, and aligned with your exam goals.

DELF B1 Courses – From Exam Practice to Everyday French

A key feature of our DELF B1 courses is the focus on applying what you learn in the exam to real-life situations.

At this level, learners are expected to express opinions, explain ideas clearly, and interact confidently in common situations. These abilities are practised in contexts that reflect daily, academic, and social life, including:

• Work and professional contexts: Participating in simple meetings, explaining tasks, giving instructions, or sharing ideas with colleagues.
• School and academic settings: Taking part in class discussions, writing short reports or essays, and understanding study materials.
• Social and cultural situations: Expressing preferences, opinions, or advice in conversations, and understanding authentic media like news articles, podcasts, or announcements.
• Practical communication: Making short presentations, giving directions, or exchanging information effectively in French.

This approach ensures that DELF B1 preparation goes beyond the exam, helping learners build practical French they can use confidently in everyday, academic, and professional situations.

DELF B1 Courses – French for Study, Work, and Daily Life

• Understanding, speaking, and writing French in practical, real-life contexts.
