I remember looking into the French Basic Course a long time ago, and assuming it would allow you to reach a borderline B1\B2 level. However, I was also looking at the material that is used by Alliance Française, at the various levels, and it seems the grammar covered by FSI is only at the A2 level. Take a look at the contents of

Alter Ego 2 (A2)

I'm currently using Alter Ego 3 (B1) and Version Originale 4 (B2). There seems to be a bit of an inconsistency in that Alter Ego 3 is actually more advanced than Version Originale 4. The other B2 course I use, Édito, is just ahead of Alter Ego 3. Has anyone else come across these type of discrepancies ?

I'm using Alter Ego 3 as well, but the AF also uses that book in their B2 courses here in
the Hague (I am officially B1.3...) I have not used FSI.

And Alter Ego is terribad.
