ABOUT THIS CLASS

Vous parlez un peu français — now it's time to go further. Beginner French for Adults is a live, instructor-led course built for learners who have dabbled in the language and are ready to move from scattered phrases to real, confident communication. You'll sharpen your speaking, reading, and conversational skills through interactive lessons grounded in the everyday situations you actually encounter — ordering food, navigating a city, making introductions, and more. Working alongside an expert instructor and a motivated group of peers, you'll build the kind of practical fluency that makes French feel less like a foreign language and more like a tool you genuinely own.

SYLLABUS

French Pronunciation Tune your ear and your accent for the sounds that set French apart, from nasal vowels to silent letters, so the words you already know come out clearly and confidently.

Greetings and Introductions Greet people, make introductions, and exchange personal information naturally, including when to use the familiar tu and the polite vous.

Numbers, Dates, and Times Count, give a phone number, talk about prices, and tell time, plus the days, months, and dates you need to make plans.

Ordering and Dining Order at a café or restaurant, ask questions about the menu, and handle the check, all in real, sentence-level French.

Getting Around Navigate a French-speaking city: ask for directions, understand the answers, and talk about the places you're going.

Everyday Conversation Discuss food, places, and daily routines in full sentences, applying foundational grammar to build and expand your own.
