At B2 level, you need to go beyond simple statements and add nuance to your opinions. French offers several structures for expressing concession and opposition.

Concession with "bien que" + subjunctive:

*Bien que ce soit difficile, je continue.* (Although it is difficult, I continue.)
*Bien qu'il ait raison, je ne suis pas d'accord.* (Although he is right, I disagree.)

Opposition with "alors que":

*Il est optimiste alors que la situation est grave.* (He is optimistic whereas the situation is serious.)

Contrast with "néanmoins", "toutefois", "en revanche":

*C'est risqué. Néanmoins, cela vaut la peine.* (It's risky. Nevertheless, it's worth it.)
*Le projet est ambitieux ; toutefois, il est réalisable.* (The project is ambitious; however, it's feasible.)

Softening with "certes... mais":

*Certes, c'est cher, mais la qualité est excellente.* (Admittedly it's expensive, but the quality is excellent.)

These structures allow you to present balanced arguments and sound more sophisticated in French.

자주 하는 실수

~~Bien que c'est difficile~~
Bien que ce soit difficile
Bien que always requires the subjunctive, not the indicative.
~~Malgré il pleut~~
Malgré la pluie
Malgré is followed by a noun, not a clause. Use bien que for clauses.
~~Il est gentil mais en revanche intelligent~~
Il est gentil et en revanche très exigeant
En revanche introduces a contrasting idea, not a complementary one.
~~Quoique il a raison~~
Quoiqu'il ait raison
Quoique requires the subjunctive, just like bien que.
~~Certes c'est bon. Mais c'est cher.~~
Certes, c'est bon, mais c'est cher.
Certes... mais should be in the same sentence to form a cohesive concession.
