Exercises Built Around Real Learner Needs

My name is Frédéric Lippold. I am a native French speaker, born in Paris and raised in the Paris suburbs. After qualifying as a lawyer in 2013, I decided to pursue a career in education. I first taught in French public middle and high schools before specialising in French as a Foreign Language in 2018.

I created this B1 compilation following a request from one of my subscribers. It brings together resources developed through my own teaching experience and my first-hand knowledge of the French language and culture. I carefully selected and organised the activities to provide learners and teachers with a clear, varied and immediately usable collection.
