Beginning French for Travel

ID : 1397   
« back to classes page
ClassGraphic We’ll become familiar with the French language, as spoken on the streets of Paris. We will touch on the four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), in four presentations on successive weeks. Between classes students will be encouraged to read the presentations of language in new situations and try to do the exercises on their own. The instructor will try to keep the conversation in the target language, although the initial explanations will doubtless have to be in English. Much of the class time will be devoted to practicing interactions among participants, with the instructor circulating to explain and answer questions.
