French - Beginner
This course is ideal for:
This is an intensive all-day course suitable for learners who have some basic skills like counting, greetings and buying items. You will build up new vocabulary and learn useful language for getting by around town. By the end of the day you will be familiar with vocabulary and have practised conversations on topics such as:
• ask for and give basic directions
• ask what there is in the area
• ask and say what time things open
• find out information about bus times
• order food in a restaurant
• say what you like and don’t like
Following the class, you will have one year’s access to the virtual learning environment with loads of content to help you revise what we cover on the day and to finish off the workbook.
Our classes are relaxed and friendly as we focus on communication, not perfection. Lunch and teas and coffees are provided on the day.
The course will run 10am – 5pm on Saturday 25th January 2025 and there are currently only three places left.
Please pay a deposit of £50 to reserve your place. I kindly ask that full fees are paid before the day of the course.

Course Teacher
I am passionate about languages and studied French and Spanish at Cambridge University. I am now a qualified Modern Foreign Languages teacher at secondary level and have experience of teaching primary level languages all the way up to A level.
I love visiting new places and have spent time travelling around and volunteering in South America. Whenever I go to a new place I always try to have a go at the local language and can often be found clutching my phrase book with a look of polite terror as the person I am talking to replies to my question at top speed! As a result I am able to empathise with learners who feel nervous about speaking in front of others or who have had similar experiences with languages on holiday.
Whether you are starting from scratch, dusting off your high school French and Spanish or perfecting your language skills, Language for Fun classes provide a supportive and relaxed environment to learn and have fun. I hope you will join us!
