This course is designed for students who have learned some French before, for example a year 1 course or equivalent, who would like to continue improving their ability to communicate in French.

You will expand your vocabulary and grammar using all four language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) focusing on practical topics to enable you to communicate.
