This course is designed for students who have learned French before, but would like to go back over the basics before progressing to a higher level. It is also suitable for those who have done the Year 1 (or equivalent) course.
To join at this level, you should have some basic knowledge perhaps from school or from a previous Year 1 class.
You will expand your vocabulary and grammar using all four language skills, focussing on practical topics to enable you to communicate.
Homework is given on a weekly basis. To benefit most from the course, you will be encouraged to read the materials used during lessons and refer to the course book.
We will study the grammar of the language, but please note that exactly what we will cover will depend on the level of the students who enrol.
We will cover topics such as talking about yourself and family, ordering in restaurants and cafes and shopping, directions and transport and making enquiries at a tourist office. We will also talk about the immediate future and start to talk about the past.
To join at this level, it would help if you have some basic knowledge perhaps from school or from a previous Year 1 class.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding your suitability for this course.
Text books and dictionary options will be discussed at the first session. Please bring pen, paper and a folder.
We recommend that you do not buy a course book until after the first session. More details will be given at the first class.
We offer a Semester 2 that begins immediately after Semester 1 and is an integral part of the course, the exact length of which will be decided in the Spring term. You would then be able to progress to the next level.
