Easy future tense
Where you were born and where you live and use of depuis.
Introducing people and possessive adjectives.
Asking for help out and about and using vouloir.
Saying how you feel and expressions using avoir.
Reflexive pronouns and making suggestions.

Ordering something from a shop and the proper future.
Time expressions using pendant/depuis/pour.
Raised amidst the mustard-yellow facades and bourgainvillea-lined rues of French Town Pondicherry, South India, my fluency in French is more than a certification - it is a heritage.
Studying at the International school called SAICE in Pondicherry, I learned fluent French and Italian at degree level.
Walking through the Rue Romain Rolland and crossing over to Rue Dumas, the names of the Streets and the French windows and French Villas with colonial architecture is something I still go back to.
Having worked as a sports teacher in the Lycee Francais de Pondicherry, a 200 year old heritage building with colonial pillars, I feel honoured and take pride to have been part of such rich surroundings.
The mastery of my French language took me to Hong Kong. where I worked alongside French people at the French Embassy!
In England for the last 22 years, I have been tutoring French privately and also supporting GCSE French students in a secondary school, not only to achieve their standard pass grades. but also to excel with flying colours.
