  • Who is it for?

    The course is for people who want to learn key vocabulary and grammatical structures to develop conversational skills.  The course will also include cultural insights, pronunciation, assorted listening activities and verb exercises. Through the course, you will be able to improve your ability to understand spoken and written French.

    You will benefit from doing some home study for vocabulary building and verb conjugations. The extra language practice will help you reinforce your learning before moving on to the next unit.

  • Entry Requirements

    No prior knowledge is required.

  • What does the course involve?

    During the course you will develop competence in listening, reading, writing and speaking across a range of real-life situations. These situations will include:

     

    • introducing yourself, family and friends, getting to know people
    • ordering a meal, buying food and drink
    • booking accommodation
    • finding out about facilities and where places are, understanding basic directions
    • making enquiries, asking for bus/ train timetables and buying tickets
    • telling the time and understanding opening and closing hours
    • talking about special occasions.
  • Additional Notes

    We suggest you bring a pen and some paper to take notes.

    It is also recommended you purchase the BBC Talk French 1 (The ideal course for absolute beginners) book as it is used in lessons and for home learning.

    You do not have to buy the CDs as listening activities are done in class. Links for listening practice will be provided.

     Please note there are no lessons during the half term break
