French - Beginner
This course is ideal for:
… What we call our Rusty Beginners–learners who have some basic skills like counting, greetings and buying basic items. You will build up new vocabulary and create sentences that you can use straight away in real life. We will cover the alphabet, how to ask for directions, catching the bus, how to tell the time and ordering food in a restaurant … and we will start to get to grips with verbs!
Fiona will gently guide you and you’ll soon have the confidence to have a go at basic French conversations! This term is very useful for holidays and travelling.

I have always loved learning languages and about other cultures from a young age. After a school trip to France, I decided to study Modern Languages (French and German) at university. As part of my degree, I had the opportunity to spend a year in France as an “assistante” in a French school near Paris. Paris remains my favourite city to this day although I have visited many other parts of France. I communicate regularly with a French friend I have known since those early days.
Later, when I moved to the Midlands, the opportunity arose to teach French part-time to adults at a local college. I did this for many years whilst bringing up a young family but then moved away from language teaching as I progressed in my career. Most recently I decided to learn Spanish and enrolled with Language for Fun. I found the classes to be so relaxed and enjoyable, I decided I would like to share my love of French and France so applied to become a tutor. I looking forward to meeting you soon! Fiona
