Quote Icon This course is ideal for:

This course is suitable for learners who have studied the language before and can have a basic conversation about themselves and get by in typical tourist situations.  In order to get the most out of this course, you will have an understanding of how to use verbs in the present tense, and be ready to learn how to use them to talk about the future.  By the end of the course you will have learnt how to:

  • Talk about your holidays and holiday plans
  • Talk about where I live and how long you’ve lived there
  • Talk about your family in more detail
  • Say how you feel
  • Express yourself more precisely when asking for things in shops
  • Use the simple future tense to make an order in a shop and talk about your future plans

After having completed this level, learners typically move on to the Improvers 2 course.

Whilst you will not become fluent in French with a limited number of lessons, you will certainly gain enough confidence to start talking for about 10-15 minutes in French or longer, using everything you will have learned.

About

Bonjour/Ciao/¡Hola! I’m French-Italian and I speak Spanish. Growing up on the French Riviera near Italy sparked my love for languages. I studied Music and Languages then moved to the UK for 9 months, and several decades later, I'm still here!

After successfully using my languages in Banking and IT, I became a language teacher and have been teaching for the past 20+ years. I am cheerful, patient and enthusiastic. I am good at helping people of all levels overcome their fear of speaking a foreign language, focusing on building confidence and having fun.
Holidays are spent in France, Italy or Spain with my husband and our two boys, who are brought up bilingually in French but are also learning Spanish and Italian.
I sing in my spare time, walk the dog, look after friends' dogs and grow plants, usually fruit and veg. I love foraging so my children are used to eating "spinach" of dubious provenance. I also teach GCSE and A Level to whomever needs a boost with their exams.
