In this ongoing class course students will continue and grow in their study of French. This course is not for beginning students. This course is ideal for learners who have taken my beginning course and intermediate course, or have had previous courses which covers the following topics: ETRE, AVOIR, present conjugations of ER, RE, and IR regular verbs, passe compose of all verbs, aller, the future tense, and the imperfect tense. They should also know how to read, listen, write, and speak in the present tense and past tenses. 

 As the class builds and students learn to speak, read, and write in the target language, the teacher will send exercises for the students to read/complete in between the class meetings. This will help reinforce vocabulary and words learned in class. The students will be sent a vocabulary list each week and they may use this to practice in between classes. Students will be expected to engage in the target language with the teacher and other students each class. The teacher will also check-in with the students via the Outschool class message board and will be available for questions on exercises in between classes. I look forward to meeting your student, speaking French, and discovering francophone culture throughout our classes together.
