Allons à la Plage! - Basic French Beach Conversation (Small Group)
What's included
1 live meeting
25 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Bonjour, et bienvenue! Come join us for this summer-themed class where we will talk about the beach in French. The course will be 95% immersion-based (barring any necessary tech support or classroom commands in the beginning). Through the use of learning materials such as slides, GIFs, gestures, and props, most students should be able to understand the sentence frames and vocabulary. It is suitable for any introductory-level French student, as well as complete beginners. I keep my one-time class sizes small so that students can be comfortable in an intimate setting and get plenty of pronunciation and speaking practice. The class will be structured as followed: - Introducing ourselves (“Je m’appelle ______.”) - Repetition of target vocabulary in isolation, followed by usage in a sentence: “Je vois un(e) _____.” - Q & A : modeled by teacher, then practiced by students (“Que vois-tu?” [What do you see?] —> “Je vois un(e) ____…” = [I see a _____.]) - Introduction to colors, weather, likes (J'aime) and dislikes (Je n'aime pas) - Au revoir … Goodbye!
Learning Goals
Students will gain confidence in speaking French! They will learn some beach-related vocabulary words in French, use the sentence frame "Je vois un(e)...." to talk about what they see, and learn the adjectives "grand(e)" and "petit(e)." They will learn to introduce themselves, greet the group, and say goodbye.
