  • Entry Criteria

    No prior knowledge of French is required.

  • What will I study?

    You will cover a range of useful topics including some or all of the following:
    • Greetings
    • Ordering food and drink
    • Finding your way around
    • Shopping
    • Dealing with common travel problems

    There will be some flexibility to tailor the specific topic areas to the needs of the particular group.

    Some basic grammar will be introduced, although the focus will be on oral communication.

    No materials other than a pen and paper are necessary. It is strongly recommended that the vocabulary and phrases studied each week are reviewed between classes in order to get the most out of this course.

  • Future Prospects

    You will finish this course feeling confident in your conversational French, students may wish to take their studies further and will search for an intermediate French course.

    Alternatively, you could broaden your bi-lingual vocabulary further by taking up our Introduction to Spanish course.
