French - Intermediate
This course is ideal for:
learners who have GCSE or O level in the language and can remember most of the grammar (including past present and future tenses). If you can make yourself understood in most situations, and can talk about your daily life reasonably fluently but would like to move on to more complex language and improve your fluency, this course is for you.
The class takes place in the pub in a relaxed atmosphere where you can speak in French and improve your conversation.
Mes Souvenirs
By the end of this course you will be able to:
-use a range of past tenses to talk about your life and experiences
-use “en” and “y” and differentiate between them
-say what would happen in hypothetical situations, such as what you would do if you won the lottery, using the conditional tense “je mangerais”, the conditional perfect “j’aurais mangé” and the pluperfect “si j‘avais mangé”.
After this course, learners typically move on to the A-Z course.

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. 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.
Sometimes at home, if we don't want the kids to understand something, we speak in German to each other but unfortunately the kids manage to get the jist of it. We need to learn another "secret language"! On my list is Portuguese and Polish but I haven't started yet.
