In this fast-paced, twenty minute class (time specifically chosen as that is about as long as one can successfully focus in a second language before needing a break), students will learn a few basics of the French language that will allow them to introduce themselves to others and talk about what they want - vocabulary that is immediately useful in everyday life.  

The class uses the TPRS method of language teaching (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) where a teacher establishes the meaning of vocabulary in a shared first language, then uses the target language (French) to create a story.  Finally, students translate a target language story into English to check for comprehension.

The class is structured in the following manner:

Quick hellos in French and English, Introduction of focus vocabulary and gestures - 6
StoryAsking - 7 minutes
Reading and translation into English, goodbyes - 7 minutes

Students will be interacting with me the entire class time and should be prepared to use a lot of French in these twenty minutes (with English used to clarify meaning when necessary)
