Learning objectives

Students in this level will become familiar with the sounds of the French language, develop confidence in pronouncing them, and acquire basic "survival" skills in French, such as:

  • greetings and thanks
  • forms of address
  • basic vocabulary and structures to tell the time, give an address and a telephone number, spell their name
  • ask and answer simple yes/no questions about familiar topics (family, work)

Prerequisites

This course has no prerequisite and is intended for those who have never studied French before.
