French - Improver

French – Improver 1

“And you?” Et toi?

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.

Each class builds to a spoken, scripted conversation, which we practise in pairs, in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere.  On the way we learn new vocabulary as well as a bit of grammar, culture and pronunciation.  We then have an opportunity to create our own conversation with lots of support and there is always an emphasis on French for Fun! Learning is supported with course materials and access to online learning through the Virtual Learning Environment.

By the end of the course you will be able 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
