Welcome to B1.1 — Le Monde Professionnel
Bienvenue au niveau B1.1 — Le monde professionnel

You just read French about job searching, updating a CV, applying to companies, and preparing for an interview. That is the shift into B1. After Books 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B, you already have nearly 950 French words in your pronunciation toolkit. Now Book 3A moves into careers, workplaces, education, technology, media, and complex travel.

Vous entrez dans le niveau B1 !
C'est une étape importante. Continuons ensemble !
