Questions

Is this France French or Québec French?

France French, the way colleagues talk in an office in Paris or Lyon. Québec offices say some of these differently.

What level is it for?

A1 to B2. It starts with booking a meeting and taking a day off, and ends with the words of project meetings: scope, stakeholders, milestones.

Should I say tu or vous at work?

Most French offices use tu between colleagues and vous with clients, senior managers and anyone you have just met. Not sure? Start with vous and switch when they do.

Is the pack really free?

Yes. A free account keeps all 50 words in your deck, with audio, an example and a note on when to use each one. No card needed.
