This course helps you to develop your French language skills (listening, speaking, and strategies for reading and writing) by focusing on the use of vocabulary, grammar, comprehension and sentence construction.
The material covers a variety of everyday topics in a simple, concise manner. There will be plenty of examples and explanations to illustrate how the language works and to build confidence.
Each lesson contains clear grammar explanations, vocabulary lists, and reading material consisting of a story, dialogue or letter, questions for speaking practice and oral/written exercises.
By the end of Level 1, you will have gained some elementary vocabulary and be able to understand, ask and answer questions using simple sentences.
No materials are required.
