The best way to understand the culture of a country is to learn its language. This course covers greetings and introductions, ordering drinks and snacks, booking a room at a hotel, finding your way around, shopping, enquiring about transport and health. We will work on grammar as well so that you can structure sentences and use the right tenses. The main aim of this course is to give you confidence in speaking French at beginners' level which you can work on later on. It is a gate opening onto possibilities. A friendly and fun atmosphere is very much a part of the course. We will work with 'Façon de Parler 1' by Angela Aries and Dominique Debney, sixth edition, ISBN: 978-1-529-37422-3.
