This entry-level course is designed for complete beginners to gain competency in French. Students will develop reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills necessary to identify vocabulary terms and utilize proper grammatical structures in French. Extensive preparation outside of class and active participation in class are required to succeed. Assignments will be assisted by texts, visual aids, and cultural reflection. Students will become familiar with engaging effectively in a variety of conversations in French.
In the event that the class group is under 5 students when the session is about to start, before deciding to close the class, we will do our best to accommodate you and suggest a reduction in number of hours for the same group price. If a group is smaller than 5, the class will function as a semi-private class. You will still have the possibility to join another, larger, group class at another day and time, provided there is room available.
