Course Level Guidelines

Unsure which level would be most appropriate for you? Please check the guidelines below to help you decide.

Beginners

Those that have little or no French
For those that feel unconfident at expressing themselves

During the course we will concentrate on vocabulary, pronunciation, and phonetics. Combined with an emphasis on the way to sound 'French' and communicate
Aim - To be able to recognise words when spoken to, form a sentence or ask a question.

Intermediate

For those who are capable of understanding a sentence and can reply (in broken French if necessary)

On this level the emphasis is on grammar and practising communication / conversation skills.
Aim - To have a clearer understanding of spoken French and to be able to reply straight away. Also, most importantly, to build your confidence.

Advanced

For those whom can understand/ express themselves using past and future tenses
Those that can use pronoms in conversation e.g. ceux, moi, y, en

During the course we will work hard to develop your listening and understanding skills, use of the subjunctif tense (used widely in France) and many areas of grammar
Aim - To practice and improve all aspects of spoken French, and to gain confidence with spoken French.
