You'll be speaking and understanding French with near-fluency and with a broad range of conversational skills. In Level 4 the pace and conversation moves more rapidly, accelerating exposure to new vocabulary and structures, and approaching native speed and comprehension.

A few of the topics included in French Level 4: - Business: Traveling for business, attending a conference, booking and canceling train tickets, looking for and buying a house in France. - Personal life: Discussing where you've lived, what you enjoy, going through hard times, marriage and divorce, raising teenagers, missing loved ones, moving. - Activities: Reading, hiking, gardening, skiing, going to the theater, watching TV, walking around, doing home renovations. - Shopping: trying on and buying various items of clothing, asking for colors and sizes, buying gifts and souvenirs, going to the open-air and the flea market, haggling over prices, negotiating a discount, discussing shipping options. - Vacationing: going to the beach or swimming pool, sampling foods, preparing a picnic, boating, dealing with crowds. - Dealing with Unforeseen Events: feeling ill, calling a doctor, losing or forgetting personal items, being caught in a strike, witnessing a crime, falling in love. - The French Character: Learn to think like a French person, using irony and sarcasm, making huffing sounds, showing nonchalance and disinterest, and expressing nostalgia and fatalism. After Lesson 30, a short story broken down into 20 manageable segments (over one hour) is provided for practice reading French.
