Learner Reviews & Feedback for Étudier en France: French Intermediate course B1-B2 by École Polytechnique

c'est excellent cour bien complet ,il touche la langue française dans sa globalité: grammaire conjugaison ,l'écrit l'orale .. bon courage à tous

Excellent course. Well conceived, really very good use of technology. Not always easy, but always interesting and rewarding. Thanks!

The course is very well-structured and gives you lots of new and exciting things to learn. I have enjoyed every minute. Thank you.

One of the best courses i've ever attended. It is challenging and contains interesting content. I can just highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed that the due dates were flexible and that you could advance in the course if you were ready.

Clear and informative course! Highly recommend for learners who would plan to take DELF B1-B2 so far.

c'est un peu difficile pour moi mais vraiment m'aide sur l'oral et l'ecrit ensemble.

Very diversified and broad learning on French Language Intermediate Level.

Overall, I like the course. It was just challenging enough, but doable, for me. The presentations are appropriate length and teachers speak clearly and concisely. I like the quizzes although some of the questions are not clear enough.

What I did not like is running into some technical issues. A few times I would complete an assignment but could not move on because the next step was locked and it kept asking me to go back and finish the assignment I already completed.

Also, I moved forward carefully, step by step, to ensure I miss nothing. But when i check the course overview, I would find that I was missing some parts, i.e. the green circles were not full, and so I would have to go back and find the part I missed. This should not be happening.

Overall this is an excellent course which will allow you to improve your listening, reading and writing skills. The use of french videos/film clips is well dispersed throughout the course, while the selected films are cult classics in France. There is a bit too much grammar. In this I mean that they cram so much grammar in it becomes difficult to remember how to use it and when. The other difficulty are the peer reviews. It is difficult to know where you could improve based on most people's feedback. Abstract statements such as 'grammer could be improved' do not provide much direction especially when you have gotten a native french speaker to review your work and they spot limited problems!

It's very helpful and most of the videos and instructions are interesting. I especially like the excerpts from books, movies and articles used in the course. Some parts of the course, however, are too technical and hard to understand in a short time. It would be great if there are notes summarizing the grammar contents with various examples. Overall, I enjoyed the course. Thank you very much indeed.

Excellent! Je vous remercie d'avoir eu l'opportunité d'améliorer mon Français dans cet environnement privilégié

Halfway through, I'm finding that the actual lessons are a bit lacking. There is a VERY brief overview of what you should be learning in the section, but it's way too quick to learn the idea, if you haven't learned it before. If it's something you're already familiar with, it's a good review/overview, but it's just not enough to learn the idea from scratch. Then you suffer through quizzes, trying to learn from your wrong answers with little feedback (which is frustrating and de-motivating) or you search online for other material to learn from, which defeats the purpose, in my opinion.

The course is well structured and well prepared, but it's not a B1/B2 level. Maybe you can say it's a B1, but for sure not B2.

I am (positively) surprised by the high quality of a free course. Coursera - and its partner institutions - will not stop amazing me.

In this course, I got in touch with an intermediate course of the highest standard, with clear explanations on grammar, many examples of texts and a lot about French and francophone culture. I mean it: really a lot!

Previously, I had taken almost two years (starting from zero) of French before and considered my level as either an advanced beginner or a beginning intermediate. If you feel yourself somewhere around these or further, this course is made for you.

Thank you, École Polytechnique, for helping me keep up the pace and broadening my French knowledge.

C'est une très bonne option si tu veux améliorer ton niveau de français (vocabulaire, orthographe, grammaire). Il est très intéressant aussi pour apprendre différents choses sur la France est la vie dans le pays comme, par exemple, le fonctionnement du système éducatif, le logement, la nourriture, etc.

Merveilleux ! J'ai beaucoup appris avec tous les videos, les textes et tout le matériel autentique. Les professeurs, je voudrais vous remercier et vous féliciter, en espérant pouvoir faire un autre cours de français en ligne avec vous. Très bon travail ! Bravo !

Very good course! Explantations are very good. Don't be scared about the duration, you can finish it sooner, for me one ''week'' was about 3h of work. Very pleasant I chose to do it.

It was more difficult than I had previously thought, but it was a great experience! The grammar was really fast, but I learned a lot about certain things.

Un cours interessant, engageant et informatif. Les videos sont bien faits. J'ai aimé les multiples examples des films français.

Me encantó este curso. Lo recomendaría a estudiantes con un nivel intermedio que quieren progresar. Excelente!

Ha sido una muy buena experiencia para seguir con el aprendizaje de este idioma. Muy didáctico!

Curso sensacional! Videos claros e didáticos, além de exercícios bem construídos.

Great course
