LEVEL 04
INTERMÉDIAIRE

French, beyond the facts.

Level 4 opens up the language of possibility. You will work with the future, the present and past conditional, and the three main “if… then…” structures to talk about what will happen, what would happen, and what would have happened under different circumstances.

TALK ABOUT WHAT WILL, WOULD, AND COULD HAPPEN

Level 4 Conversation Labs are where you practice using the future, conditional, and si structures covered in Level 4 Signature Class. Labs don’t introduce new grammar. They give you the space to use these structures while reacting, imagining, debating, and developing your ideas in conversation.

Every Lab is built around a real-life or cultural theme, from future plans and everyday dilemmas to culture and bigger “what if?” questions. You’ll warm up with the topic, revisit a relevant grammar point, then put it to work through conversation, debates, hypothetical scenarios, and guided speaking activities.

You’ll work on:

  • Talking about future plans, predictions, and possibilities
  • Using the conditional for wishes, advice, suggestions, and polite requests
  • Building si sentences as part of a real conversation
  • Talking about regrets and imagining how things could have gone differently
  • Developing opinions and hypothetical ideas at greater length

Best for students who have completed, or are close to completing, Level 4 Signature Class. If you’re just starting Level 4 Signature, keep practicing in Level 3 Conversation Labs for now, then move up once you’ve covered more of the Level 4 grammar.

MATERIAL USED
CUSTOM ACTIVITY SHEETS
DESIGNED BY COUCOU TEACHERS

Each Lab uses a custom activity sheet built around a real-life or cultural theme and the language you’re practicing at your level. You’ll warm up with the topic, revisit a relevant grammar point, then put it to work through guided speaking activities, with useful vocabulary and ready-to-use expressions there when you need them.
