- speaking about future plans
- telling a simple story in the past
- speaking about likes and dislikes, preferences
- making comparisons
- asking and answering increasingly complex questions
- speaking about your health
- giving detailed descriptions of people, objects, situations and events, in the present and past tenses
Prerequisites
You can register for this level if you already know how to do the following things in French:
- speak on the telephone
- ask for and give directions
- make reservations
- give a definition
- clarify a statement
- tell whether a sentence is in a past, present or future tense
Prior to your course start date, you will receive an email notification outlining how to test and access your online course session and materials. You will meet online at the scheduled day(s) and time to engage in real-time learning. During class time, you will have the opportunity to interact in real-time with your instructor and other class participants. Additionally, you will access resources to facilitate learning and communication through a dedicated class platform (Moodle). Full system requirements for accessing online courses are available on the System requirements page.

Additional Information
This level can be taken as many times as desired, as topics covered will change from one session to the next. It is not intended to take students directly to the Advanced level.
Students who wish to study in a program where they can move steadily from one level to the next—and where emphasis is also put on the written language—are encouraged to take courses in the Comprehensive French series instead.
