French - Improver
This course is ideal for:
Spending time in France? Ever had a problem in a restaurant or being understood?
Want a holiday recommendation or to buy at the market like a local? Want to hire a bike or chat to the taxi driver?
Get ready to practise your perfect tense and perfect your pronouns to enable you to talk about anything from local excursions to finding parking spaces! This course is suitable for people who can get by in most simple situations and are starting to develop confidence using the passé composé. By the end of this course you will be able to:
• use the present perfect “I have been, I have done” to talk about your experiences
• Use object pronouns to say things like “I told her”, “I bought it”
• Use the pronoun “en”
• Discuss the weather in the past, present and future
There are no exams and there is no compulsory homework for this course. We focus on communication, not perfection!
The course will start on Tuesday 14th January 2025 and run for 9 more weeks with a break for half term on 18th February. The course costs £165 for 10x 75 min lessons. Please pay a deposit of £50 to reserve your place. I kindly ask that full fees are paid before the first class.

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!
