This course is for you if you can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at satisfying simple needs.
You will get ample opportunity to practise your French conversational skills on familiar topics such as:
- introducing yourself and others
- ask and answer questions about personal details such as where you live, people you know and things you have
- ordering food and drinks etc.
You will have the opportunity to practise in small groups and act out role-play exercises you will encounter in French-speaking countries.
The content of the course will include a revision of different tenses such as preterite, perfect, imperfect and pluperfect, although the main aim of the course is the practice of the different skills.
