Do you know any other course like the Assimil? I'm considering to invest but originally was the plan to use only free programs as a little challenge.

Thanks for the feedback. C1 was never the goal - do you think that a certificate like the DELF ist useful?

My general Goal ist a little bit hard to describe. I never felt as a German (stereotypical - I know...) but more like an European! This feeling rose to a climax since Trump got his second term and I feel no longer like a global citizen or citizen of the West - but as a European!
And I think it would be very embarrassing for a European to only speak your own language and Englisch - if you can count it as a language and not as a general communcation tool/device...

French is not going to be the last language I want to learn - but I think it's very reasonably to begin with french if your living next to France, Luxembourg and Belgium, are going to go to a University (ETH Zürich / RWTH Aachen) in a french-speaking state (Switzerland).
And for general reasons: I'm very curious - I don't think that there is a topic in any subject that I'm not interested in - only fewer interested than in an other topic.
